Trackday MK5 to MK5b RS2000

[escortlew]

MK5's are getting dear now and cant remember last time a good one came up. A lot of people on RS2K forum said that my shell was way to do to scrap so dunno how bad there's must be

Lmao would guess bad seeing as yours was pretty bad lol

Yeah there putting on both rear wings, inner and outer sills, chassis rails and making up floor sections mine only needed arches and bits of floor rest was ok

Well its a shame after all the work but the using the Escort in motorsport idea just been binned its just to hard to get uprated parts and there for the handling sport on so started breaking it down. Glad to say the brakes have gone to a fellow member and the build has moved onto a MK2 MG ZR 160. Done a shake down trackday in Nov to see what its was like, so far ive only put rear camber plates on and he had AVO springs fitted but in terms of handling it leaves the RS2K for dead even without the coilovers etc fitted. Hes a quick lap of Bedford Auotdrome GT circuit before the EBC Yellow stuff pads over heated (thy were ok for 3-4 laps then needed a cool down)

Hi guys hope all is well, unfortunately we are planning on moving to a house where we wont have as much driveway space and due to the fact the Escort hasnt been on road road since June 2013 im thinking of letting it go. Im so gutted as ive put a lot of work into the car http://rs2000-16v.com/forum/images/smilies/squishy/cry.gif I known its not a proper "RS" as the re-shell was based on a 1300 but everything from the early RS went into it. I really dont think you will find a shell in this condition, its never been welded and floor pans, rails, battery tray were all spot on as in the pics. The only bad thing was at some point some crown cut the floor pan under rear seat to remove the fuel pump and i have a panel from the "RS" shell to weld in. Its still got the AVO's on that a brought new from demon tweeks and they have only done 4 dry trackdays so there still like new. If anyone is interested gimme a buzz and will run though everything and get any pics etc you want. As was a track car its stripped out bear with a manual rack all tho i still have the RS power rack and any spares etc will go with it as will the new ST170 disc's so would just need calipers and tyre's then she would be ready for track again. Engine and drivetrain are solid to its never used and oil or water and defo doesnt smoke. Wheels are Compomotive competition 15" CXR's and has the -50% quickshift kit and a spare MTX75 gearbox
