Ford Escort RS Turbo

The Escort is an honest member of any family, and I hear you say why? Well, its a drug to the young tuners, it’s a seat for the older learners and it’s a car for the high-earners! With my Corsa sold, and my Seat off the road, I used my dad’s car to drive to Leicester and back the other weekend! It was a costly experience, believe me, but unique. FRIDAY NIGHT: Friday night I asked my Dad if I could use his Escort to get to Leicester and back as he can use his 4x4! Reluctantly he said yes! and in a way I was saying NO! I couldn’t use my brothers because he’s away ... more

Yeah they are unreliable at times, noisy down the motorway, Recaro's uncomfortable on long journeys, and insurance absolutely shameful, but you just cant beat them if its good fun your after in a car... Personally buying my RS was a dream cometrue having wanted one since the age of 16.. bought mine a year ago at 22. A 90 spec version on a H plate it cost me 4 grand from a dealer and although people always say never buy the first you see.... i did and have never regretted doing so. one downside being lack of Ford Dealership help... dont count on it.. they just dont want to know about ... more

I`ve owned a black 1988 series 2 for 9 years now and it just keeps getting better. Every year they bring out faceless, soulless plastic cars and the RST just looks better. It`s so tuneable and 200 bhp is easily achievable on the series 2 as they were de-tuned from the factory for road use. All you need is a new fuel management chip (Ahmed Bayjoo chips are by far the best), a -31 actuator to increase the boost (series 2`s can easily handle 1 bar( or 15psi) unlike the fragile series 1 engines) and a decent exhaust and a high lift cam will see you with at least 180 bhp. This amount of power in a ... more

Last year I bought a H reg Escort RS Turbo and "I LOVE IT". Its fast its reliable and it looks amazing. I paid £3000.00 and it was the best money I have every spent. I have added a full system scorpion exhaust, a pipercross induction kit, a gorgeous souding dump valve and dropped it on its arse. It looks the business and sounds it too. I would recommend any young person to buy one of these cars. I admit because it gas been lowered it isn't the comfiest of cars but it's cool to drive. The RS Turbo is an attention seeking car and mine defintely gets the attention it wants. If you are looking for ... more
