Hi guys i am getting a mk5 escort cabrio, its already got RS2000 bonnet, bumpers but i am looking at doing a rear brake conversion to discs. Is this easy what do i need.

Also not sure what engine to change it to at the moment. Its a standard 1.8 efi but am in two minds to change to either an RS2000 or S2 Rs turbo lump any help would be really appreciated

Thanks Dave

 

Being a mk5 you can get away with just changing the rear hubs. You'll need the RS handbrake cable too.

When you do the conversion take it to a garage and get the brake efficiency checked. I needed a new master cylinder on my mk6.

You can get all the bits you need from HERE.

 

Thats great thanks Mal. Is there alot of tunning that can be done to the RS2000 engine? I am looking at building a differant cabrio, i know i could go down the cossie route but fancy something a little differant

 

I'm not sure about that lump to be honest. I'd go for a 2.0 litre zetec on throttle bodies with uprated cams. Or strap a turbo to it if you're feeling really flush.
