Lol your really pushing to get rid of that wheel now

[essexRSTSouthend]

Thanks for the offer mate but i like the standard steering wheel

The car been in england for some time now,So might of been awhile ago if it was in isle of wight... i really don't know lol.

I love red or black on these rs turbo's

[jayrs]

in england mate isle of wight is part of england

no worries about the wheel,

george, you wanna buy it

if i was to get a ERST at any point, i would want it to be black, if i was to get std colour one anyway

[RSGeorge]

Give it a miss for now Jay

Still think that Radiant Red is the best colour for any RS Turbo

your be begging for the steering wheel next week.

red or black for escort rs imo, black would be my first choice

[black2]

Wow that looks stunning, love nice standard ERST's and as Jay says Black is spot on for the shape.

[Turboboy67]

Looks really nice, I loved my S2 a few years ago.

[rst-steve]

That looks spot on!

I think red is best tho......... and that's not because i've had 2x red series 2's, honest

[RSGeorge]

Too many people saying it should be red best get it booked in for a respray

[Dave G fsi]

Beautiful car mate

[essexRSTSouthend]

Yay was having blonde moment lol doh.funny thing is,rs going in bodyshop start of april for paint job! But black again lol.many people tell me it dont need doing but it does,stress cracks paint close up in certain areas.think im too fussy!

When i was looking to buy rs,i wanted red but fell in love with this one.oldman has red rs.ill get some pics up soon of it.

[jayrs]

dont worry what others say mate, if your not happy with something then yourt not happy with it, simple as, you want your car how you want it

[emblem]

[essexRSTSouthend]

Thats really cool, im so gonna get some of my stuff powercoated, wheels are going black as soon as..............

[RSGeorge]

out of interest, what is the going rate for powdercoating? is there a set price per hour etc or is it job dependant ?

[rst-steve]

Another thing i spotted is the headlight protectors, thats a nice touch............. a rare thing these days!!

[essexRSTSouthend]

Yeah i loved my headlight protectors.One broke! Not happy bunny.So on a look out for mint set again.Really sets the car off.

Powder coating i do is on a production line.We don't do any outside work apart from the company's customers.We make to order.So i don't know what the going rate would be lol.

[RSGeorge]

oh right, no worries mate

[jonyb4]

looks lovely mate

[essexRSTSouthend]

Thanks for comments.

[frst toady]

nice turbo mate best colour for these cars imo,
i no it aint but must say the 90' spec spoilers do look better

[essexRSTSouthend]

Thanks.love 80spec more.id stick the 90spec spoiler on if i was going to slam her on bigger aftermarket wheels.
Im trying to keep the outside standard looking.so no one suspects your running alot of power lol.keeps the value too and they rare in 80spec these days.

[essexRSTSouthend]

Here's old pictures of my oldmans rs turbo.






Before digital cams were widely available lol

[essexRSTSouthend]

Hey everyone.

I've been busy buying bits and bobs.New water pump,nice brake master cylinder that dont leak.Yet to fit it with new brake fluid and get them brakes bleed,fun!
Magnetic sump plug,new castrol oil.Some paint... painting brake servo hopefully for the last time,now it don't leak!!
New pully and timing belt.
Loads of stuff i can't remember.Below is the oil catch tank,now powder coated in a textured satin blue,,, what you think?






Needs putting back together and bracket made.

Other bits i remember,just waiting on a square ported exhaust manifold to match my larger exhaust ports on the head.Had to order a gasket from america,so waiting on that also.

Car goes in the bodyshop end of month.Been a little delayed due to moving into new flat with my other half etc.But finally things are moving at a faster rate...

[heeman10]

That's a long Fiesta

[essexRSTSouthend]

Oh yes

[Fraggle]

Morning...,Beautifull motor that,makes me miss my black frst:( Keep it Standard...Cvh...An wring its neck for all the horses u can get outta it....Sleeper stylee

[sjoyce666]

What suspension are you running on the Black and Red ones ?

Ride height looks perfect

[essexRSTSouthend]

Thanks guys.
Yeah i remember saying i wanted to keep it a sleeper years ago and someone replied it's a rs turbo tho,how can it be a sleeper.Fair point but keeping it standard looking from the outside don't give too much away.

Ride height for mine (black) was 60 to 70m drop on the back and 50m on front using spax dampers and modified springs.As much as it looked the nutz,the motor was just not driveable e.g speed bumps and uneven roads it would bottom out.Loved the look but also the tyres wore out like they were going out of fashion lol.

The red one thats my oldmans is unknown on how low but comparing it to mine,it must be 60m drop all round if not slightly more.It's on Koni dampers but no clue on the spring make.Lowest rs i've ever seen on the rs wheels.

update:

few more pictures,catch tank back together,just needs fitting now.
Throttle cable bracket now powder coated.New water pump etc
