Picking new toy up 2moro......
After dabbling with some german and italian cars recently, i missed an RS in my life so as of 2moro i am picking up a 3 owner, Red, F Reg S2, it has been dry stored for 10 years, but the recent owner has had it on the road for the last 12 mths or so. Its standard bar a scorpion exhaust, jetex filter in a standard drilled airbox, and is lowered. The standard S2 wheels are a black/grey colour (i sort of like them)
It has the "perry" dealer plates, handbook, pen (i dont think it works lol), reciept of sale to the first owner, MOT's and tax discs, history book stamped. It is very solid, battery trays mint, sills mint, fuse box mint, boot floors mint.
The plans are possible wheel change, loads of crome ( i live 3 doors down from a bufty, redrsmk5 ) !!! Abit of paint to freshen the car up, and abit more power !!! So i hope to show it over the next few months.
Pics to follow 2moro night............

As for engine tuning remember its an old CVH, so unless you're going to renew everything stick to mild tinkering and steer well clear of the murderous bleed-valve! Oh and leave the chrome for old Cappers and Cortinas!
For the sake of your wallet, time, sanity, and resale value... Christ, for the sake of the Series 2 Escort RS Turbo, stand out from the crowd and leave it well alone!
Nice motor! Keep it that way.

Looks and sounds like one to preserve rather than cover in super glue and ram-raid Motorworld, coming out of the other side draped in spangly jewlery, cheap alloys wrapped in even cheaper rubber, and a "Motorsport" scripted sunstrip - the right of passage for any chav chariot!!! Years ago it was acceptable to buy an RST, turn it into 300hp mating-call, and park it outside a Brewsters or Hungry Horse pub. Nowadays people are realising their mistakes and it shows in the previous replies. Theres nothing more sickening than seeing a lovely, clean car that has survived the test of almost twenty years and the riggers of early nineties joyriding ruined by pointless trinkets - leave it to the Saxo and Clio brigade.
