The car he shows in the picc is still owned by somone i know and still has the group A weld in cage fitted

In his defence mate he may have been told it was and thinks it is.
It's a pretty well written advert tbh and he mentions a 3dr as well so I'd say he's an enthusiast personally.
Maybe worth sending him a little email to explain the truth?

Spotted it for sale on DoneDeal as well.

Dodgey advertisment.

Yeah, but there are loads of cars built(mainly track/rally cars) that have been registered this way.

Still dunno why he is claiming it to be a NYRS car if it aint tho.

If you look at the way the rear spoilers sit, you'll be able to tell that it's not an Escos shell!

My bro had that car years ago,it use to have mk6 front end and back lights

We put the cosworth stuff on it,was a complete odd ball of a thing

Just looks wrong at the back end - i remember hearing it's a 2k shell so maybe a 4x4 one - would the 2k 4x4 system mate to a YB engine as the wheels sit in further like a rep

See what you mean about the spoiler Gary

kosienutter

Is it me or is there no header tank but one with a single pipe to the turbo hot water return line on the right hand side?? Dodge to the E

paulsheerin

No mate the RS2K engine is E-W layout and the YB is N-S and in the pics the eninge is N-S and in the ad it says its RWD with a T5

boy-racer-1

rear lower spoiler sits above the rear quarters

wheels are turned in every picture and angled pictures, same with all cosworth reps because the front wheels dont sit centre with the replica arches...

definately a rwd converted rs2000 in my opinion and the seam welding will no doubt be the excuse to an idiot buyer for all the welds in making it rwd

Thats it if this car ran a T5 box and standard cosworth rear end then should the wheels sit in that far, or is the escort Cosworth rear end wider than a 2wd axle?

Stolen recovered at some point it's life. What a mess of bits... however it's still RWD and YB'd so might be fun to drive as a track shitter

E980VTJ

I sent pistonheads a shitty email saying i have now asked twice for any pics or mention of my company to be removed from that advert or i will take legal action against them

They have now sorted it , lol

I think most website owners forget that they are legaly responsible for ALL content on there website ,until they are reminded ,

Looks an ok ad now, probably with a misinformed owner, likely to be a genuine cossie'd rs2000 i'd think. The fact it has that plate under the bonnet I'd just go to that guy or his company and ask, save all the speculation. I'd say that was a 5k car IMO, if that.

NoRubNoDub

Why are all these dodgy adverts turning up claiming to be from N.I.?

jamie's

was it not on a q plate when wee stu bought it off him?

Mattfletcher

Defo looks like a replica, that go faster stripe down the side doesn't do it any justice either
