Its just passes as far as I can remember mate

I thought that. My Impreza was never that good on the work run, nor was my M5. Would you say that's about right then for shortish runs?

Dig

Think the best I've had is 250 miles out of a J Spec Tank, BPU Auto. New O2 sensor and plugs. Never use air con though! Most of my journeys are short-ish, lot of start stop driving, combined mileage of about 12 miles a day. Think I will look at changing the ECU temp sensor; can't hurt!

Not sure to be honest. I was told it was a police reposession; but it did have a reg etched on the windows, H95 GHP, which did come up as a 1990 Escort RS Turbo in red. It had about £20000 worth of receipts with it. It's not been taxed since 2005 and I think it was broken, as I came across the seats and door cards etc in another RS Turbo for sale on ebay last year. Shame really as it looked like brand new. Had a full bare metal respray and full custom leather retrim, think the receipts for the interior and exterior alone was about £6000. Wish I'd kept it, but being 19 at the time, I just couldn't afford to. It used to eat diff bearings and an AP 4 paddle clutch every year or so as well, it was insanely quick.

Yellow, 124000KM is only 77000 miles or so, plus its got the bigger brakes and recaros!

And the Performance Ford Mag feature pics from March 1997 I think, a month before I bought it off my mate: Ah the memories!

I'd love an Escort Cossie, or even a nice 3 door Sierra! Pics of the Escort:

Oh, I would!

I don't mean it! I love it, it's a blast to drive, I'd even go so far as to say more fun than the supra.....

I just can't believe the amount of attention a crappy old mkiv escort gets! Puts a smile on your face to drive though, even though it's not that quick!

Why shame it's auto?

Been out again in it today. Really short drive and can't believe the attention it draws! Even parked on the pub car park earlier people were walking past and pointing; the Supra never gets that!

There's nothing like a bit of 80's Ford retro! My Castle built Rs was something else, was a Performance Ford feature car

I'll get some pics after if I remember. It's my second RS. I had a Castle Performane Engineering stage 4 Rs about 12 years ago that was 250bhp at 24psi. Was ridiculously quick! They're a hoot to drive!

First proper drive in over 2 years. Can't believe the amount of looks I got compared to when I'm out in the Supra! Love a bit of 80's retro!

You'd still need to stick 6 months tax on it at least for using it for Suprapod, but it will need to be insured beforehand to tax it - As Scott said really!

+1, massive intercooler!

I wondered for a minute if you were joking!

Ibrar's on the way to SRD?

Great stuff, I absolutely love this car!

PM Replied

I may be toying with the idea of selling mine - see garage pics for info. Not sure yet though. Will have a Trial rear fitted towards the end of next week, plus I'm in no rush. Will be over your max budget though, PM me if you're interested.

I think it's a good price for the mileage. I wouldn't move too much on price, especially with it being a standard engine.
