Escort MK4 5Drs RS Turbo
Hey,
I am From the Netherlands and dont speak english verywel. Sorry for that, i hope you onderstand me
I am 16years old and i have a Ford Escort MK4 5Drs and want to make him a RS Turbo..
2year it happened back when I was looking for a nice car to learn tinkering. First, I really searched for a Taunus, but it was at that time in my burget available. Then I saw this Escort who I could buy for 100euro (81.26 pounds).
When I had him I wanted a bit of a better appearance. I bought Spec88 bumpers and 14" RS wheels, elekrtische windows+ CV. and an Spec90 XR3i interior.
but it was still not enough and I bought a bumper spec90, RS Turbo wheels and a RECARO interior.
under the bumper, I made a rubber lip of a focus.
But the engine was still the original 1.6carburateur.
and I wanted it just like anything else with it. So I bought an RS turbo engine.
and refreshed him a bit
Then I started to strip the car. he is now stripped so far as needed and may soon go up
this was my story until now, I will keep you informed...
I hope you understand my bad english.

I really like this. I think it looks really good with no rear spoiler. If it was mine I don't think I'd have the rear head rests, but its not so I'll shut up! Very good english too. Wish I could speak let alone write another language that well. Good job.

Again an update:
I lowered him 60mm with KONI yellow.
And mount an Magnex stainless steel exhaust.
Shortly perhaps disks brake behind, but then I want to have the flat furrow (is it the good word?) for on the naaf. Does someone of you have the dimensions? Meanwhile thanks.

You borrowed my pictures about brackets, but thats ok mate
I can maybe get cad pictures about brackets to you if you need?
That ebay kit which costs 19.99Ł is not so good guality as i expect, brake pads did miss little bit of disc if you understand what i mean, aligning is not so correct. And also parts come in bare metal not zinc coating or nothing. Have to paint those.
I gave already feedback about those things to seller. Mike Rainbird sell brackets too, but they cost nearly 50Ł but those are zinc coated and i believe better quality.
