ford escort rs turbo

This is about the 5th time you've posted this here iirc.

Please stop it, everyone gave you various advice last time, except i think you said it was a fiesta (can't be arsed to check).

ive posted here more than 5 times...

tbh just ignore him.

Yep. But it'll cost you big bucks, won't be reliable, and will still be an Escort.

Yep.

Anything is possible. Unfortunately, you've started with one of the worst turbocharged hot hatches ever made, so it'll cost you loads and be a bag 'o' s**te.

Cosworth will cost more and be expensive to insure, but it'll still be cheaper (probably on both counts) than an RST.

Yea but you post something different everytime and aren't just trolling :)

Lol, yeah ok

" hi i have just recently got myself a ford escort rs turbo and wanting to get it to about the 250 260 bhp is it possible or is it just worth buying a cossie and getting that up to 360 bhp??? "

You can quite easily get an RST up to 260bhp. You're unlikely to do it reliably without a 1.9 (or larger) engine conversion though. Three or four years ago, it seemed that every tuning mag would feature an RS Turbo, a Renault 5 GT Turbo and a Peugout 205 GTi every month. Nowadays they don't feature as much because the Saxo brigade have taken over.

If you read these pages, you can find out more about what you can do, and more impotantly, how much it will cost:

or I could be the worlds worst troll :)

Are they professional tuners? I can understand it then - it's their marketing budget, after all.

Otherwise, WHY would anyone spend supercar-money on a Sierra???!?!?!?!?

well, one of them is a bloke who runs the ferrarri place down the road from me, got a race spec RS500 locked away in the corner of his garage :) another one is someone who goes by the name of Blackgoo (some people may have heard of him :) ) and after buying his cossie (with recipts of over £65k) he went and spent another £40k on it !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!fek!!!!!!!!!!!!! i can't remember the other guys name off the top of my head, but when i do i'll post it up as well :)

So will a cossie, assuming he doesn't want a rust heap, or an even more over priced ford.

they dont make an escort cosworth.

Didn't they........? Have i missed some deep meaning to what you're saying? Becuase there definately is an Escort Cosworth :)

Your right they 'don't but they don't make escorts any more either. They certainly did though.

Steve. P.S. I'll bet you and Escort Cosworth, 'un-driven' thats for sale down the road, that they do!

No, since they haven't made Escorts since 1999. However, they did make an Escort Cosworth, Clarkson owned one and raved about it, it's based on the 4x4 Sapphire chassis but shortened, has a f*ck off huge whale tail and flared arches, and is often regarded as one of the best cars Ford ever made - something I personally disagree with, but that's because I consider American Fords to be Fords ;)

shortened by 7 inches uprated drivetrain first of the 16 inch wheeled mass marketed cars (unless you want to count the intergrale evo 3 which had 16's on it at about the same time) the lst goes on

No such thing as an Integrale Evo 3. It's just an Evo 2 with a catalyst.

so they gave it 215 bhp just for the fun of i did they :)
