Why bother?

A 1.3 Mk5 Escort is a shed of a car -buy an RS Turbo in the first place!

 

Cos some people like to do different things with different cars

 

well said jano

 

 

and you cant buy a mk5 with a turbo lump

 

and what car do you now own??

i'm sure when i had it, it had a turbo


joking aside

i think rs2k engine would be better

 

Econmically speak it would be cheap to just buy a rST imo.

 

pmsl- true

but i ment an rs turbo lump not cossy

 

Yeah maybe....

How much is a decent RST gonna cost?
What stage will it be at?
Is it going to be a rusty bag of shite?
Is the engine gonna give up?
Are the components good enough to last while the new owner abuses it like the previous 15 owners did

When/If you build your own car you wouldnt have any of these problems becuase you know where your at and what parts are good or not.

Every car i have ever built is still going strong apart from a select few that have been crashed.

Econmically i would rather have a car that cost me X amount more and be happy with it in everyway! Rather than having somone else's loose ends and broken parts!

Only my opinion so roast me if you like

 

I agree with Jano here.

 

What he said.

 

S2 RSTs just look chavvy and are not very nice cars to look at. I'd take a mk5 Escort with a turbo lump any day of the week.

Flame suit on

 

MK5 Turbo

And thanks for the bolts Jano_OddKidd car is back and running now

 

thanks everyone one for all the advise
