stoo2000 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Danzetec on here had a blacktop in his Escort, If I remember correctly he had to machine the block/head and reposition the engine mounts among other things. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
a16x_tm Posted April 15, 2009 Author Share Posted April 15, 2009 ahh just found that one too, cheers. completely different style of car but hes obviously putting alot of effort and money into it, seems like thats going to be a monster build though! im just planning on keeping it plain, smooth and as standard looking as poss. might not even put the spats or skirts on. i want the larger hole rare rs grille, set of morretes, 16in comp mos and already onto a recaro interior... owning a focus rs i know how i can get a safe 360bhp out of the engine for around £1500 aswell il be selling the 30k engine and all the modded bits if anybodies interested Danzetec on here had a blacktop in his Escort, If I remember correctly he had to machine the block/head and reposition the engine mounts among other things.thanks, i think he will be getting mithered then! lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
