I bought as a project and put the time (and money) into it to make it a really good mk6 escortthe car has just been serviced (comma oil, oil filter, NGK ptr5a plugs coolant fluish / drain and comma xtreme red collant filled up (5 year life span))the engine was cambelted when fitted to the car (approx 3k ago)I've spent hundreds of hours sorting all the niggly things out - vibrations, odd faults etc I've spent about £1500 in the 8months i've had it fitting: New clutch, new gearbox, immaculate RS interior, 4 new toyo proxes tyres, plastic spats smoothed into the bumperreplaced the wishbones, drive shafts, cv joints fitted the magnex system and decat, replaced the inlet manifold, injectors maf and throttle body... the list goes on, plus my 2000 mile service intervals! Also worth mentioning the car is a 1.8si so cheap insurance!shell really good for age - no rust and just one or two car park dinksLong Tax and Test!The only thing that distinguishes this car from a real RS2000 is 5 insurance groups, 10bhp, it has larger brakes and the RS has lift up reverseThe car does have a party trick - it spits flames, no spark plus or butane required watch this video of it on the rolling road sun 02/12/07 Bad stuff: - mostly me being pickyone of the 6 RS wheels has a slight buckle - a potential buyer drove the car and didn't notice it - drove me mad, but its only one out of the set of 6 so not a big dealAs with all secondhand escorts the ISCV makes the cars idle slightly erraticly when cold - never stalls or cuts out thoughthere is the odd minor mark or stone chip - the shell has done 96k in 10 years - pretty much everything else has done much much less, all the drive train has been replaced this yearRear bumper could do with a mopping or some paint renvoator as its not as shiney as the rest of the car To summerise - fantastic daily driver - reliable, good looking, nippy and comfotable/well specced - more pics available on request reason for sale - Started uni this year and bought myself a cheaper run around so i can afford to get on with my project mk5b Engine2.0 Series 2 Zetec 16v Silvertop Engine (approx 40,000miles)Mondeo 2.0 management (ecu injectors sensors etc)2.0 throttle body2.0 mass air flow sensor2.0 lambda sensorEarly 1.8 130spec non EGR manifold1.8 GTi Inlet manifoldLucas Speed LeadsNGK spark plugs PTR-5aK&N High Flow Panel Air FilterStandard looks underbonnet even has 115ps sticker on the airbox wink.gif De-CAT - Genuine ford cat includedMagnex cat back with 4" rolled in tip (sporty note, quiet) Drive Train / SuspensionLow milage 1.6 box with fresh fluid and molyslip treatmentUprated LUK clutch kit - recently fittedreplaced drive shafts/CV joints/HubsGas shocks-40mm SpringsFord wishbones Wheels / brakes15" Rs2000 mk6 alloys195/50/15 TOYO Proxes4 6mm + tread (7mm is new)278mm Escort Cosworth DiscsSingle Piston Genuine Escort cosworth Calipers (remanufactured by AMK) were as new when fitted a few months agothe brakes are good enough to stop a 4wd 227Bhp cosworth so do a really good job of stopping the lighter Si without fading InteriorMk6 RS2000 Recaro interior in Raven Flow pattern - modern style recaros seats fanstatically comfortable and supportiveWhite Clock / DialsRDS 6000 Ford CD playerLeather GTi Steering Wheel / Gear knobFord uprated speakersElectric / Heated MirrorsElectric WindowsElectric Sunroof kit (not fitted) ExteriorGenuine Ford RS sideskirtsGenuine Ford RS front bumperGenuine Ford RS spoilerRS rear spats smoothed / blended into the bumper(RS2000 looks) I'm inviting offer, xmas is out the way now.i want £2000 for the car - for this i'll include £300 Pioneer Bluetooth mp3/wma 3 preout sub control etc etc headunit (have box and manuals for it)Or i'm open to offer - i'm not going to take £1500 for it though not unless i'm gettign something my way or keeping some bits of the car ot that value Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meekstaaa Posted January 6, 2008 Share Posted January 6, 2008 i still want this but how can a car have 6 wheels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ScORTED Posted January 6, 2008 Author Share Posted January 6, 2008 this might sound crazy but the four rs alloys with matching vgc toyo proxes 4's are on the car theres a spare in the wheel well with a dunlop on it and i have a 6th wheel in the boot with a pirelli tyre and spare centre cap as one of the wheel has a slight wobble... Wiggy drove the car and couldn't tell - but it annoyed me so i'm including an extra wheel Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
