Removing engine tomorrow, its already RS pwered but ive got another RS engine to put in it already lol something ive got up the lock up. It still needs to be converted with wiring and fuel lines, tank etc Friend of mine has a rotten RS 2000 he is allowing me to rape for parts to complete convertion.

stevmo3691 Posted September 2, 2011 Share Posted September 2, 2011 doesnt look too bad. quick question though, were you towing with a ST200? those arent rated for towing. Can with a ST24 but due to the 200's suspension and engine set up they have no towing allowance. So not only knackering car also driving illegally. why a friend of mine got a ST24 as he towes his fiesta XR2 race car. same issue with the ST220 mk3.

So not only knackering car also driving illegally. why a friend of mine got a ST24 as he towes his fiesta XR2 race car. same issue with the ST220 mk3. Well the Issue with ST220 is that thanks to the exhausts there really isn't any space left for mounting the towbar. There's no problem with ST200. Just get a normal Type E approved tow hook and off you go. Ford was always difficult like this - there are no towing limits for Sapphire Cosworth for example. Why ? Normal Sapphire tows just fine, can't see any reason why Cossies can't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hicksy Posted September 3, 2011 Share Posted September 3, 2011 Ive always wanted to do an RS2k van! my mate had one a few months ago and that was a real laugh As for the towbar thing, i thought it was just that ford didnt supply one, just like the ST220, but Other towbar companies supply them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
