jasper65 6 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Here's was my babies a good few years back. the Red G plate was the full 90 spec! RS owners club registered and a real Minter with full custom pack, I liked them that much I had 3 of the fuckers on and off .... I once stripped a loom out of a grey Mk4 from behind the dash and into the bulkhead, I wanted this loom as it caterd for the onboard computer I wanted to fit, it worked out to be a bit of a nightmare as there was one sensor which needed connecting where the speedo went into the gear box, another went under the back seats to the fuel sensor plus all the crap behind the dash. anyway I finally managed it and it worked fine ...

gsi2000stokie 5 Posted March 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 I take it your putting a RS turbo engine into a mk 5 escort? yeah its already in and running but not quite right i think theres a few wires with no power to them. not bad though considering its all done myself and i never touched one before. normally do vauxhalls redtop engine.

Had a white 'A' reg a few years ago, had a smash while learning to drive in it, ended up writing it off. Nasty. Is it true they only came in white and red and the occasional grey???

jasper65 6 Posted March 20, 2008 Report Share Posted March 20, 2008 Nice cars Jasper. I had many a wet dream about RS Turbos when I was in my teens! Nice one mate I was the same . if you look at the three pic's the last RS in red on a G plate was the very last spec before they stopped making them, this one was a month short of being a H plate when the last one's was made, in the pic you can see the front spoiler/Valance was slightly different with different air dams, the rear spoiler was also different compared to the previouse models also a few other mods interior wise and under the bonnet.... When I sold this Baby I cried . it was a case of needs must back then to subsidice a business, It was Mint under the bonnet and mint all over apart from a couple of small stone chips, 48,000 on the clock and full ford service History, 1 owner and totaly original. I advertised it on the wednesday and it was gone friday for the asking price! when the girl drove out of the courtyard and I heard that last burble of the exhaust as it disapeared I had to walk away and spend some time on my own ....
