On my home this morning and came up behind a Escort RS Turbo, K plate, followed it for a couple of miles stuck behing a articulated, they obviously realsied i was behind them and the passanger gave me some unpleasent hand gestures (obviously realising who had the better car), came to a good straight with nothing coming the other way so i dropped it a couple of cogs and went round it and the truck, it pulled out behing me and went round the truck, just as it pulled in front of the truck, bang, turbo smoke everywhere! Thing is i wernt giving mine anystick, doing about 55-60 coz the traffic my way was heavy. Nuff said!

K Reg RST? I dont think so, good sir! H is as late as they go... Unless theyve done a transplant into a mark5 shape escort?
Ouch...
Mightve put a rod through the block from what the description sounds like! These RSs dont really like to rev!
RSTs appear to be more fragile than Clios! Especially red modded ones that sit in my garage... damn, damn, damn car...
When mines fixed I will have to be the imposter at the group meetings!
Dont hold your breath though - its been sitting in the garage for about 2 and a half years...
Bazz - checked out this one for you mate. Yep, turbo conversion car. Turns out what you heard was a piston melting at full boost. when a turbo hits its boost limit, it just feels like theyve instantly taken the turbo away and youre NASP. On my GSi T once i hit 14.7 psi (1bar) it feels as if im driving my old mini again (but at 150 mph
)The bloke is a regular at seven vally supposedly. lots of work done. Oh well. Its a Ford
Ste
Until it happens to you!
