Does anybody know anything bout the 400bhp twin turbo rs turbo on the cover of this magazine, would be quite interesting to find out some info.
Cheers

 

Isn't that Squint's old RST?

Pickup with an engine in the back?

Never really did very much AFAIK, apart from make alot of noise.

 

It was a escort done into a pick up with a front and rear engine

 

it has 2 engines

 

Its a twin engined sort of pick up style type thing with the rear end all open and a motor in the back iirc

 

Yeah twin engined pick up thingy!

What us that Squint up to now?

 

ohhh thats what had me wondering, the twin turbo part lol. didn't realise it was twin engined.

 

freaky,,,


was only just talking about this car today



and there it is

 

Didn't Tillio buy the shell? I know it got stripped and the shell may still be around?

 

one of the engines went in that silver pug 106, the one with the engine in the back

 

Master piece of engineering. Welded up with no jig and drove like a crab....apparently!

 

the funnest bit is the postage for the mag is £2.50 and thats for second class

 

Last thing I heard he was thrashing around in a 500bhp rs500 engine'd saph 2wd on nos with standard brakes.

 

I heard something along those lines too, although prob not heard of him for about 2 years now!

 

didnt he build a twin engined car first? Then a pick up or was it someone else?

 

You're right

 

Yes Jon scrapped it because it was in bad shape....

Squint is under the thumb with his missus in his new house round my way

Yes it did. Adam his name was...His username on here is Rear106RST



Correct. As i took photos for him and advertised it for him aswell...

He blew the engine up at brunters at the daddy thrash in 2002 (I still have the video on my PC) Got it rebuilt by Harvey then sold it on for a house deposit.

He sold it to some1 i don't know who....BUT...the buyer took it out of the sapphire and had it installed in a 3 door. It was a 'D' reg moonstone with the black RL5's on it which the sapphire came with. Was hacking round National day this year........sounded the fookin tits on full chat

His blue rear engined RST was built before the green pick- up

 

Yeah didnt that rear enginged pug 106 have the escort inner front wings welded up inside the boot. I t did look a bodge job when i first saw it

 

If my hard drive wouldn't have failed 3 weeks ago ihad lots of pictures of it

 

Keep an eye out for the moonstone 3dr with his old saff engine this year as it`s going to be an even bigger spec ... Should be out at Bedford in feb all being well

 

He wrote that off round a tree, and used bits to build the green pickup.

 

Danny - It wasn't a tree it was a lampost in Southend....I can assure you this because i was in the passenger seat when he binned it!



He used all of the bits and the engine bay/front chassis, but the rest of the shell was scrapped as it was well bent! He actually used 2 cars for the pick-up. 1st one was a Escort and the 2nd an orion. Escoer was used for the donar vehicle, and the orion was sued for the boot/rear opening pick-up boot!

 

 

nice

 

This one?

 

It never did anything though, one of those wow cars when you see it but never put any fast times down iirc

IMO Should have been 2 zt's slapped in there or better specced motors and set some good times

 

Dave - You got any pictures of it when he ditched the wheels and got some Grey Esc Cos wheels with slicks and a big foooook off nitrous bottle on the rear bench?>?

Didn't do much, but was a work of art........

 

it is quite good to see but also a bit pointless if it doesnt do anything spectacular!

 

Smit, I dont mate no. Thats the only pics i have

 

anyone got any pics of his blue one that he did?
