Al Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Wierd, your US Escort looks nothing like it's European cousin!!Passat looks nice......quality! Al. P.S. Do you have many Supras around as i think they were designed originally for the US Market? Al. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sortedford Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 Al dont think supras were designed for the American market, cos everytime ive been over, ive seen possiabley one, tbh ive seen more lambos driving round than supras. I quite like the american escorts, altho a compleatly different style to the english ones, i hear your goin for a turbo conversion? is that a new engine your haveing or modding the current one?

93EGTinLR Posted May 20, 2003 Author Share Posted May 20, 2003 wel to start off with, I like the Euro Scorts better, the body lines and overall design are more to my liking...plus you guys have the Cabrio....I miss mine There are quite a few Supras here...it just depends on which year and style you are looking for...I believe they quit selling them around 96 or so so the later model twin turbo models a a bit on the rare side, same for the 3rd gen RX-7 for the turbo, I plan on building this engine all over, from the inside out, all forged internals, balanced, custom cams and valving, the whole works...prob gonna run around 28 pounds of boost through it....looking to get at least 400 at the wheels...we'll see how the work and tuning turns out....

98gt Posted May 20, 2003 Share Posted May 20, 2003 My uncle in New York used to rally an Escort GT. Here's a couple of pics from the 1999 Season Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
93EGTinLR Posted May 22, 2003 Author Share Posted May 22, 2003 cool deal, they are pretty peppy but need some serious power...that's why she's getting turboed later on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Foxy Posted May 23, 2003 Share Posted May 23, 2003 I'm always reading that US 'scorts are totally different from ours but I disagree. It's almost as though Ford took the US design from a composite of pre and post '90 Escorts and I can see a distinct similarity in body shape. Just me, I suppose!

93EGTinLR Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 there is some similarity in the body lines, but I think the main reasopn they are very much different is that the chassis for the second and third gen US Spec models as well as the Ausie Laser are basically the same as the Mazda 323/Protege/MX-3 from wht I have understood, the motors from the Euro spec ones will work in the first gens though which if someone really wanted they could have a real sleeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

93EGTinLR Posted May 23, 2003 Author Share Posted May 23, 2003 one thing I have considered if I can get ahold of the parts cheap enough is to transplant the front end of a 323f from around 9 3 or so that had the pop up headlights on it onto the scort...I like the styling, plus it would def set me apart from anything the others areoun here are doing....maybe someone on this forum will be nice enough to visit a wrecking yard and get me an Idea of the price of the parts needed...such as hood, fenders, front bumpers and headlight assemblies,,,,,well it's worht a shot anyways...lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
