Hey guys, those who know my history a bit will now I have been talking about buying an Escort for ages. And if I could find someone who would swap for my EL Ghia for their RS2000 then I would in a heart beat.
But the real reason I want an Escort is for racing. So just a quick question, who here races theirs? And is it a genuine RS2000 or similar. Im having trouble deciding whether its worth spending the extra and getting an RS, or I just get a normal GL or something and modify that. Also god forbid, if I was to have an off and cause some damage, RS parts are going to be harder and more $$$ to find as time goes on. I would be racing in events such as sprints, hill climbs and circuit stuff (targa tassie is a dream too). Also, does a coupe offer any benefits over a sedan from a racing point of view? Is it a little stronger? Handle a little better? My goal is to have the car (or a good shell) by the end of the year. Cant wait!
