Mine Is A 88 Plate, That's Twenty Years Old And St
Mine is a 88 plate, that's twenty years old and still keeping up with new age cars. They are fun and a nice looking car. They were built for £10,589 and the closest thing to the exact rally car.

Rst S2 Are Great Cars If Looked After Correctly. M
RST S2 are great cars if looked after correctly. Mine is garaged every night and washed at least once a week. This must be done to keep rust away, and to keep it looking great, also to prevent it been nicked. Ford Escort S2's are powerful cars, and they can easily be modified well over 200bhp. I can't find a fault with it, and I would recommend it to all. I would also say it would be an investment, as you could sell it for more than you bought it for if it is looked after!!

I Had A Ford Escort S2 E Plate Series 2, Full Chro
I had a Ford Escort S2 e plate series 2, Full chromed out engine bay, Full 2.5inch s/s exhaust, super chipped, dump valve, Lowered, no rust, Bad boy bonnet, pace intercooler, swirlpot, 90 spec bumper, interior and spoiler, clifford full closure alarm & immobiliser. I bought my car with all the things mentioned above done to it & with service history and 12monts m.o.t for £1800. These cars are fun to drive & everybody turns thier heads when they hear the dumpvalve go off. Girls love it and the car is just a good laugh. Only problem is that thier too many problems associated with these cars. I decided to sell it in the end & kept my Astra GTE 16v instead. A lot more relilabe & less costly (I think).
tuning a turbo can be a bit of a minefield, but this applies not just to escorts but any turbo car (renault 5 especially) but if the engine is tuned sensibly and properly then the car should mostly retain its reliability, i.e. if someone ups the boost to 5 million psi but still runs the standard turbo/pistons then things will start to go bang. with rs turbo engines the general rule is that anything much over 200bhp is a bit much for road use, and if you want that kind of power then you will either need to re-bore to 1900 or, better still, a full on zvh conversion using the stronger zetec block (preferably from an early mondeo as you can keep the origional pistons to be machined) and cvh head.
