looking at the log book its a fookin xr3i

thats great for investment that is, a xr3i rs1900i fook shit ohdear.






turbo technics turboed all sorts of fords bitd,tbh just a normal rs turbo was better though than a tt xr31.
thats not the case though with say tt twin turbo xr4x4's

CRAIG HAYTER

yeah like putting the v5 logbook up is a good idea when the car is about as much a rs as i am a hollywood porn star

Mk1-stu

it is a 3i. RS = Rattle Snake. it's a Turbo Technic's 3i with a kit on it.

Adam.

there was a post bout this last week.

i remember seeing them new but gen rs turbos sold by peoples ford liverpool and kits by fibresports who did buisness with ford motor company.

look here from fibresports website............

i'm not splitting hairs but Fibresports the makers of the original kit don't call it Rattle Snake only Rattlesnake and you could fit that shit to any mk3 or 4 2 dr escort car.

that one Craig posted the link for is still a investment for the right person and they were popular back in the day but come on its not a RS but a tt genuine modified xr3i which is a rare old car though

JohnnyB

yes I agree it's a rare car.

hey craig matey you could of given the seller a hand with the car by linking the ad up, its not my cup of tea but all you need is say a mush who was in awe of them sorts of cars back in 89-93 when they were very popular and they would love it.

iirc a turbo technics conversion was a dear old do so someone dug deep to buy that car new.

alas Craig i'm not a porn star but i can fluf a fluffer

CRAIG HAYTER

sorry off topic

have you still get your escos Karl seen it for sale

RUPERT THE BIG HAIRY BEAR

still looks crap though i think

cozzyspud

A mate of mines got one for sale.
Its a local car that has been in the area for at least 15 years!

Mk1-stu

paint it black and remove the rear spoiler and it'd be alright i think.

Less.

I like that red one and for once I am serious

TurboShed

I think it's a good looking kit compared to some of the chav Jap inspired kits and bumpers you see these days. Sure the Rattlesnake kit would have looked pretty extreme at the time though!

jaiscossie

Aint it just an xr3i with a rattlesnake kit (think thats what they call it) fitted.

i seen a feature on that very car years ago.iirc it is a proper thing.looks like somebodys nightmare with that kit and rear number plate reflector panel.somebody will buy it though.

Lee Reynolds

i agree, better than the shit you see today! Some of the bumpers etc the chavs are fitting to the cars lately!

Lee Reynolds

bTW it IS what it says in the advert. They were built on XR3is at dagenham and kitted like that, it is not as rattlesnake kit, the kit is the original item, it was then copied by someone else and named the rattlesnake kit.

Mk1-stu

looks better like this (obviously would be better still with wheels that fit properly)

TurboShed

Yeah it looks good in white

Less.

There was white that use to live in folkestone a few yaer agp was featured in acar stereo mag

mozzy

if its a 1900 its most likely the american tall block but if it came from dealer as a 1900 then surely it would say 1900 on the log book

CRAIG HAYTER

i dont think they done the tall block at the time they made this Mozzy it would have been a board out 1600 cvhi could be wrong though?

JayCC

surely you can't bore a 1.6 cvh to 1.9? did they do a 1.8 cvh?

paz_S2

it says in the ad, engine has been stripped!
