- The 90’s were a golden age for hot hatches and I’m driving one of the hottest.
A boy racers wet dream back then was owning one of these. Notoriously expensive to insure due to being so “popular” to steal and joyride.
Now rising in value is this the year for you to buy a Fiesta RS Turbo?
The car I review today is relatively stock aside from a T3 turbo and LSD gearbox from an Escort RST. ECU has been tweaked to run correctly with the different turbo.
Car is currently for sale. Offers around 11k will buy the car please contact (david_burr88_) on his Instagram for more information on the car. Thank you so much Dave for letting me take your immaculate car out. You wouldn’t believe it’s 30 years old. Really enjoyed it on the channel!

I must say, it's truly enjoyable watching you drive and give your opinions. More of this please!
I intend too! Glad you liked that element of it. I always have heaps of fun driving.
That lag must be due to the bigger turbo! My "standard" Fiesta RS Turbo had very little lag.....loads of torque steer though!
My first car was a Mk3 Fiesta (not RS, nor XR2i, obviously) and it was so much fun. No power steering, no ABS, no nothing - fun as hell. This thing is another level, of course. I'd kill to have one to play with now, money just doesn't permit.
My 2nd car! Fun, skitty, torque steer, dump valve, 4” pipe, K&N 57i and a boot full of ICE.
Spent a few years in the back of one of these dad was a proper boy racer bad boy bonnet neons the lot loved it I want to get one to relive it
Seen a fair few fiesta turbos and 2i,s on bricks on my way to school. Them was the days police chases every night. One of the older lads crashed in to a house in a RS1800 fun times 😂 great vid as always pal 👍
Thanks man appreciate it.
Yeah I can imagine back in the day these were just real desirable.
That turbo sounds gnarly! The song goes so well with the look of the car. Makes me want to drive while listening to some old school jams, while I hit boost, driving at midnight. Too bad we don't have these in the states.
That’s why I choose bro. That old school vibe..... thanks for watching man
Great Video! Bought back lots of old memories too! You can't beat an old car for feedback and involvement, i know what you mean about them being easy to break into, you didn't even need a tool for it the scallies just yanked the door panel back from the window and pulled the plastic latch, i saw two in the pub carpark like that once on the same night.
Hey mate, thanks for watching! Yeah back in the quick small car easy to target and steal.
It’s amazing what these things are worth these days.
@@CJK20 Absolutely! I bet we all wish we had held onto some of our old cars now, could have made a penny. I remember looking through the trader seeing Mini's, 205 XS Gti's, Renault 5' turbos, capri's all going for a grand or two, these days they are 10 grand cars. Time flies!
Wicked vid man. Good too see you driving. cheeky little bit of B road bashing in a classic 🤘
Exactly the best! It was a classic little car in the twistes !
Bad arse motor, always was and always will be, I remember these cars,I always liked the RS1800 also, nice to see the turbo out and about, a rare treat
That noise is nostalgic AF!
Super throw back :)
Only thing missing on that is a mongoose 4" exhaust the turbo burble my mates use to make on idle was just to die for give me one of these over a new st anyday. Great honest review.👌👌👌
I agree. Something about those exhausts. I know exactly the look you mean!
Appreciate the feedback mate
The rule back in the day was.. if you can’t fist it, you can’t fit it! 2020 needs more fisting. Keep the faith.
ManilvaRS lmao 😂😂😂😂 I’m up for more fisting 👊
Mongoose I had one of those awesome exhausts
Brad Kells they look perfect on them don’t they! Best exhaust
Had one with 250bhp with drums still on the rear so don't tell me those brakes are bad 😂😂😂😂
Haha mate you mad man 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
That must have been something else?
@@CJK20 sounded like a space ship went like a rocket but it would not stop 😂 paid £1200 in 2009 for it
few blisters around the petrol cap but other than that it was very tidy
God knows what it would be worth now... Probably £8000 the way it was
Ah the good old days!
Great video mate 👍
WH 19 yeah it’s crazy I see one sell for 18k other day.
Imagine if you’d have kept it and tidied up!
Appreciate the feedback 👌
I had one in the 90's, loads of fun but a deathtrap, brakes were very bad, cheesy handling but it spinned its wheels in third😁 I remember a roadtrip with a mate, cruisin through france and italy at speeds they would hang you know. Good times
Great review fella,I've got a red one too,mine's a 1992 model,had it 14 years now.I admit the brakes are shocking..... 😄 👍
Thanks bud!!!!
Nice vid mate really refreshing to see you behind the wheel and give a solid review. Keep it up buddy
Thanks man, thought I’d give it a go! Glad you enjoyed. Obviously if more owners let me I’d gladly do it again.
Love these cars my dad had a xr2i as his first car back in the 80s wrote it off racing a rs turbo 😂😂
😂 your poor Dad. Real question is..... did he win?
@@CJK20 he was winning until he hit the corner at 110mph and the back end give way smashed in to the barrier 😂😎FULL SEND 👌
Connor. scott well if you’re going to do it. Do it a propper job of it eh!
One day mine will be running again 😞
Cheers for the boost man 👊👊😎😎
Any day mate, get yours running and out on the roads 👌👌
@@CJK20
Was even more heart wrenching for me lol as those roads are local to me 😭😭🤣🤣
One day she'll be back on the black, 1990 H in white, 99k original miles.
Sadly parts are so rare now, which is making it near impossible to finish her too.
Great channel though mate, please keep the old skool coming, maybe find a Renault 5gtt next hey 😉😉
Do it now ,trust me I left mine in the garage for 10 years and if I hadn’t started restoring it now the rust would gone to far and parts for it would have been impossible to find.
Lov a Fez turbo, your not just driving a car but a time, good video.
Hey Rob appreciate that. Yeah my first time. Was such a nice example too.
Thanks for enjoying it 👌
Have one in a heartbeat.
As would i pal !
Nice car. Real 90s hothatch. Beautiful👍🏼
Hey Danny thanks for your comment! They’re a stunning little car loads of fun
Making these videos more and more interesting 😎
Thanks buddy! Did enjoy driving for sure.
Que buenos y que corage tienen los fiestas RS de 1990 ole sus huevos
had one of these when i was 19, j855 cuy, same colour, wish i kept it now
Stunning cars why did you let it go?
@@CJK20 I blew the turbo and the radiator at the same time, sold it to a mate for £900, what a mistake that was
Neil Best that’s ridiculous. Can you imagine it’s value now. Hindsight’s always good thing eh!
short shifting, clutch slipping. can tell this guy should be driving auto.
7:53 I thought he ripped the gear stick off!!
Haha 😂 it remained firmly on man
love a bit of turbo flutter you will have to do ants fezza when it's not dead
100% mate I’d love too!!!!!
Whether they are both rear disc brakes or just forward
Ford gang 💪 great video mate 👌👌
Appreciate it dude! One day soon have you on 100%
CJK20 definitely mate let me know so I can clean the beaST! Bring your ear defenders 👍👍🚀
Berts FocusST Na bro I’ll be fine 😂😂😂 louder the better asbo orange eh!
CJK20 it shocks people 😂😂 🔥
Berts FocusST hope so !!!
Good vids matey any more upcoming vids of stibs and his sapphire cossies in the future
Hey Stuart, I mean maybe. Hadn’t really thought about it. I’ll have a chat with him see if he would let me take one out and do similar review to how I done this one ? Perhaps
Answer is yes in spring. One of the Cossies is going for sequential and 600bhp and we have a Cosworth powered escort to steal :)
Hey matey that's wicked news big Ford fan many years look forward to seeing new vids
Stuart Griffiths definately got few nice Fords this year. Various Cossies, MK 1 Escort RST, MK2 Fez with K20 motor etc :)
That's wicked news look forward to see them especially the cossies going to castle coombe in April for pure Ford always a good show
Thinking about building mine as an RS replica some day.
I bet even doing that will be expensive enough for all the bumpers etc mate
@@CJK20 I bet. But living in Germany there aren't many real RS turbos here and that kinda stuff is what I do for a living. It'll be a fun a long project.
DeadPool ODST look forward to hearing and seeing all about it!
How times have changed, my golf has more power stock set up to stock set up.
I know it’s mad isn’t it. Hot hatch’s nowadays have better performance than most supercars of this age!
Not as vicious as a mini to be in a crash in, but proper dangerous nonetheless.
Yeah definately. I knew if I crashed it, it would kill me 😂
These cars if you are my age will never be replicated, these cars are how you learnt to drive, none of the modern features of new cars. Four wheels a seat an engine and a steering wheel. A heavy right foot and loads of ball's, forget the middle pedal it never worked. Personally I thought the 205 gti was the best of the bunch, I was lucky enough to own one, but only a 1.6 and not the 1.9, it handled like a go-cart, it's impossible to have as much fun in modern car's, they have no spirit and are all bland and mundane, too many assists and driver aids. Long live the 90,s.
Very much agree! Honestly mate I agree with what you’re saying. Really need to drive these
Currently restoring one
That’s awesome. Just to original spec?
CJK20 it’s remaining original apart from exhaust
I bought mine from Ford main dealer Ruislip UK, mine was also in red and was registered on August the 1st 1991 on a J plate (J46KLY) and this was eventually stolen from right outside the front of my house sometime in the early hours. I never heard a thing 😞.
Looking back now I was crazy to purchase it as it really was a piece of crap and very over-rated.
Moved to a Peugeot 205GTI 1.9 for a while then on to a 4 x 4 sapphire cosworth in gray with black leather. Played around with a Vauxhall calibra for a while too then on to a Rover 800 vitesse saloon 4 door.
Ended up with a Porsche 911, 3.0 targa with a turbo body.
Weres the dump valve
Besty best best
People make me laugh when they go on about ST's. Get in something with a high performance V8 lump in it @525BHP. When you stick your foot down it just plasters you in your seat. You don't get that sort of torque out of an ST dinky toy!!!!!!
If you smile...then you`re going fast. Yea not veyron fast.
I’d be terrifying in that tin can if it was remotely Veyron speeds haha!
It’s most fun I’ve had in that power car easily.
You really need to change your page name, wasted opportunity for a chance to advertise, something catchy, a few letters and a couple of numbers means nothing
Honestly means stuff to me though, not worried about some cheesy driving name etc if people like what I do bro they’ll sub :)
@@CJK20 You need a page name that excites
Look at lllf - living life fast, officially gassed
These names are also easy to remember as they are catchy
I appreciate that mate, but honestly I’m not interested in changing the name.
Plenty of absolutely huge youtubers with names which mean nothing. I see your point but honestly my content will speak for itself going forward mate
Had one back in 95 same colour on a j plate loved it and would swap my GTc for it in a heart beat what a beautiful example yeah not fast by todays standards not well equipped either and non of the driver aids of modern cars but for looks standing out in a crowd and overall smiles on faces great car 🚗
I remember me and my buddies checking out one of these back in 1991. It was on display on a plinth inside our local bowling ally. Not sure what the correct factory colour name is but it was green and it really suited it. Can't believe that was nearly 30 gears ago lol.
That’s amazing Marty. Time just goes too quickly
Didn't make them in green. May have been late 1992 and have been a rs1800 in mallard green
Bought mine for £1900 in 2001. Little pocket rocket. Recaro's hugged you like an old mate. Put a mongoose stainless on it. Chipped to 165bhp and big radiator. These were terrible for running hot. Ford chopped the rad down to fit the intercooler in 🤭. Had no turbo lag though little T2 spun up straight away. I went in a mate of mines 1900cc tall block cvh engined one and wow it was even better. Cost him a few grand for the conversion though.
wooow i remember seeing a lot of them on the roads in the day's not a bad looking car better then to days shit'y looking things. all the 90s car's are the true boy racers it but a smile on my face just watching 👍👍👍😎
For sure. Was a memorable experience to drive.
90s was a great era for cars
I'm a great fan of this car !!!!!!!
Standard mods were Superchip, k&n, scorpion exhaust and MORE BOOST.
All day long Pete! Classic mods
Brilliant video had one in the 90"s and loved it , thanks for the memories.
No problems anytime. Was a great little car obviously not quick compared to today’s hot hatches but damn sight more fun
This was my first car, still in love with it and have a scale model under my tv :) and if you had a DSG for it, you deserve some serious jail time.
That’s mega! Thanks for watching buddy
I had a MK3 1.6 Sport back in the 90s, except for some good NGK plugs and a stainless steel exhaust I some how got 113 bhp out of it! I'm considering a MK3 Fiesta in the next year or so, an RS1800 would be my dream but I reckon an XR2i or the RS Turbo is more than likely!
You're flooring that pocket rocket around wet and greasey countryside lanes with muddy bends hopping not to run in to any lifestock hazards on every blind bend. And you're dependent on on drums 👍🖕
I learned to drive in a mk3 Fiesta. Instructor thought it was funny to say "aaand into 6th" as I got to 70 on the A13.
He wouldn't have been laughing if I hadn't stopped myself at the second
Really polished video and agree completely about all the points made. Cars from that era are fun and sadly will never be built again. That's why I now favour my 90s car. Even my modern daily is a car that deals a bit more like a modern interpretation of an old warm hatch.
This one takes me back as about 20 years ago a work colleague (who would have never been able to insure an RS) had a replica that was actually a diesel pop plus.
Thanks for taking the time to comment buddy :)
@@CJK20 No problem. I know how much effort goes into making this kind of content. Still very much finding my way with it myself.
This was enjoyable and definitely my era.
Was enjoyable to watch you actually drive the car.. Think you should take the EK9 for a day instead of having me there.
You sure mate? Could deffo use your help to do the fly bys etc bro
It's not much of a looker.
Very dated car now of course but immaculate for this car :)
Wait until you have driven a 200 plus horsepower one . You wouldn’t be calling it slow.
Had one in 2001. Awesome car. Real driving.
Was really cool good fun actually buddy! How come you sold up?
CJK20 I replaced it with a sapphire cosworth
barry jackson I’ll let you off on that one then Barry! Worthwhile upgrade there
roll bk the yrs yes pls
It’s really was a time warp car Gareth.
That bonnet soon lost its aesthetics once the engine mount failed and you ended up with a nasty bulge coming from the underside
Would love a comarison to a renault 5 gtt or fiat punto gt.
Very nice car
Thank you I think so too! :)
Another mint video mate - these Mk3s are creeping in value too, my brother sold his old one back in the day for absolute peanuts.
Thanks Tom. So this was 11k with 70k miles which for 30 year old car I’d call low mileage lol.
BUT to get top dollar ie 15-18k for these need to be totally original. Air box, the T2 turbo stock box everything. Mods actually lower this cars value regardless of bodywork being mint
there are a few here in portugal and has soon as i get a job im going to invest in one of these. For sure.
They’re definately only going up in value!
133mph for a hot fiesta in 1990 is fuckin mental! Never it knew it was that fast for back in the day😯.. always loved these cars, shame im probs never gonna own one😂
Tough for like 11-18k now it’s big boy money ain’t it man
CJK20 I know mate! Mad how alot of the hot hatches from the 80s/90s are going for big cash now! Seen a 106 GTI the other day for 12k!!! Ngl if i had that kind of cash to spare I’d probs be buying some sort of old hot hatch😂
Definitely keep up the content mate, really well shot and put together video, with some great information about the car! Nice work
Thanks Nick, really appreciate it buddy.
I try to always include something informative. Kinda want my videos to have a little value in that sense.
Thanks for comment mate
CJK20 I learnt a lot ! Really nice way to open your videos, works really well.
No worries ! Keep the content coming mate !
Nick Howarth awesome thanks for the kind words 👌👌👌you’re the man
See! Now you got me wanting this!
😂😂😂such a cool retro car
My mum had an XR2 with pepper pot wheels back in the day. Old man also had a 2.9 XR4x4. My dad even to this day says his Sierra was was faster and better than my My R32
Shame you couldn’t race the pair of them hey?
Golf r32? If so then yea they are slow AF
I just want that car please 👍
I had a black one in 2000...was my pride n joy....
Awesome! Wonder where abouts it is now
A trip down memory lane 👍 awesome videos as always bud
Awesome! Thanks for the kind words mate
I had one of these in around 1996. I'm pretty sure it was 'chipped' as it pulled really hard. It was a lot faster than my Dad's Escort RS Turbo. I run a Suzuki Swift Sport today. Still haven't grown up. I also had a 205 GTI and 1990 Mini Cooper with the 1275. For a new car the Swift gets really close to the spirit of those old school hatches.
My dad had one of these and the insurance was £40 more than the mortgage they had
Are you serious that’s just mental !!!!
Yeah I know
😍😍😍😍😍 wow!
I have a 89 xr2i and it's such a fun drivers car yes it's not the fastest but so much fun :)
Hey Jamie.
I can well imagine! Bet you can’t wait to pull that out again for summer!
@@CJK20 I can't not long now back roads are waiting :)
Jamie Otoole all the best mate! Enjoy it
Loved the details of the car and the differences of models!!
No worries man, I found it interesting too. Hence why I included :) thanks for watching as ever mate
Nothing like an old school turbo is there
Not at all Lewis! They’re mega
Nice video. I wish I had one...
Thanks for the kind comment Steven.
The way they keep rising in value hard to know how anyone can afford one!
Great video, very clear review too👊
Thanks mate really appreciate that 👌👌👌
It was all that years ago.
I know tell me about it :) nice boy racer classic
Looks lovely 😍😍😍
It’s out of this world man!
Now this is the true fiesta this and the xr2i
It’s an amazing classic.
CJK20 agree and 60,70s,80s and 90s Fords were amazing cars
Great video miss my old turbo , mercury grey h633 ffh
That’s a real nice colour. Seen that on a few. How long ago since you’ve had her Darren?
CJK20 let her go 2006 not even around anymore shame
Darren Gillard oh no? It’s been scrapped/crashed?
CJK20 probably scrapped mate, I bet the good old tin worm set in😢
Darren Gillard that’s a real shame mate. Had you done much to her ?
Very rare car ♥
Sure is Dee! Not sure on the exact numbers left nowadays
@@CJK20 a friend of mine his dad use to have one straight piped 😜 back in 02 now lol. He did try see if there was any registered on road but had no luck 🤦🏾♂️ probably all written off most of em
Dee W yeah either wrecked or tucked away to make some money man
@@CJK20 I could imagine they must hold a good value most classic fast ford's do. I need my fast ford on the channel 😜when it gets there eventually lol
Dee W what you building Dee? And of course I love fast Fords. Nothing like them
I had 1 these back day .. and 1 only ways tell diffrence between rs and xr2 was rs gad luminous green strip around it and xr2 had think white 1s had blue strip and
I had white rs turbo got off guy raced them in knockhi and he had turboed it up to fuck n was little machine really was quick wee car in its day really rapid ..loved it till hit black ice and somersaults it in field lol with no seat belt on let's say I had sore head after that little crash lol
