Hi people this is my s2 that i have just bought i like it loads it is very quick but something tells me it needs a yb lump and rwd!!! How hard would this be and more importantly how much??

 

quite hard m8 though it has bin done loads of times with escorts mk1.2,3,4 etc.ive heard as easy as a fiesta so could be really hard!

 

n e wai that luks mint as it is,fit a 2.1 zetec and turbo it!! easier

 

2.1 zetec front wheel drive? same box?

 

Looks very clean mate

 

Depends on the spec of the engine, and your current gearbox! You'll need to uprate the diff and clutch at least I would say...

RWD can be done, and has been done well many a time before, depends if you've got the time/money/skills (if your doing it yourself)

I say go for it, RWD rocks!

 

Ive done a couple of mk4 cabriolets, believe me its no weekend job and youve got to be willing to pay for this sort of work,

This is what mine looks like at the mo, 420bhp and rwd, the most fun you'll ever have!!!!!

 

that is sweet ^^^^^^^^^^^

 

lovly that

 

see i wud go for a zvh twin engine jobbie or a rapid 400bhp focus rs engine!!!easier

 

actually IVE GOTTA STOP YA THERE.
ON EBAY THERE IS A ESCORT RSTURBO COSWORTH.BECOME A USER OF EBAY AND ASK HOW EASY IT WAS TO DO
ITS THE FULL 2WD(RWD)COSSIE JOBBIE IN A RED S2 SHELL!!

 

that cabbie is v nice mate!


how did you do the conversion sierra floor pan or fabricate a tunnel??

 

was that cab featured in pf? Looks familier

 

They both run front end of cossie floor pan and custom built back end, but the bays look totally factory, which is what we aim for, dont like it when stuff looks homemade, gotta make it look original!!!

 

Yeah had it featured last month!

 

lovely car mate

 

Wow Nice one banner that looks like a proper job

 

Lovin that convertible!!

 

So its your car!! I thought you might turn up sooner or later.

I was stood there for FUCKING AGES when i saw it at the FordFair trying to figure out what had been done to it, as i was approaching i thought thats a nice cabby, then looked under the bonnet and was like WTF cossie am i lookin at right car here??? I couldn't see a single weld mark that didn't look factory but obviously i could tell it had all the cossie strut tops etc. Fucking fairplay to you mate you made a MINT job of it

 

Yeah it did seem to turn a few heads at the show when people realised what it was. We like to make all our cars look original! Having the car repainted at the moment and changed the wheels, will put some pictures up of the new look soon.

PS, got some mental cars in the pipeline for this years shows, If you thought the cabbies nice you'll love these!!!!
