Scort_CVH Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 and a question. with regards tot the exhaust: i was always lead to believe the less bends the better, will it not compromise (only a tiny bit) power with the fancy bends in the manifold as opposed to going straight down? i dont know alot about displacement so just wondering you need to get the primarys near equal length as possible, you can then use the length to move the power up and down the rev range (if i understand correctly) , iirc this is why they choose that shape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezmanian devil Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 yeh rear light's will either be standard or the smoked half tinted nomad one's (if i can find some...?) the front will basically look like my old silver escort... but it'll have a different cooler behind the bumper, and the bonnet might louver's pressed in, but i havn't decided on that yet? what's "TOF" aswel 'N604 TOF' lol...The best looking Mk6 to grace the EVO Stand imo.. Your picture aint showing mate but plans sound good, looks proper mean on the black Mo's. I was kind of hoping you might go WRC Rep though haha oh yeh, i remember that car, got sold to someone in the isle of white iirc? nah, not into the wrc look myself tbh, liked it befour, but to many people have done it now, would just look like im copying... least with what im doing it's original and will stand out abit from the norm.

massivewangers Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Nice to see it progressing Tez, think this could turn out to be the best car on the forum with ease. I think the Nomad rear lights will be the best choice for the rear end to be honest, would be a big improvement. The only thing I'm unsure on, is whether the Cosworth style rear bumper will work with the XR/RS front one. I'd be tempted to try and get an XR/RS rear and modifiy that to fit with the rear arches. Coming on though, looking forward to seeing it back on it's wheels! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tezmanian devil Posted November 21, 2009 Author Share Posted November 21, 2009 cheers dude,i was thinking the same about the rear bumper, but i noticed mutley's old rs2k had the same deal and pulled it off quite well, so im hoping mine will. the standard rs/xr rear bumper look's abit boring and pant's imo, dont no why, just abit big and boxy looking???? deffinatly got my heart set on some nomad rear light's now, just need to try and track some down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escort_Kid Posted November 21, 2009 Share Posted November 21, 2009 Nomad rear lights are deffinately the way to go if im thinking of the right ones! And louvres on the bonnet is a deffinate in my opinion, that'd look amazing, please do it! This WILL be the best car on evo for me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tezmanian devil Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 got my bumper back aswel as my mate that was going to mod it is moving house, so thought it would be best to get it out of he's way for time beingput the splitter up against it so you can see how much bigger it is to a mk5 bumper...http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0084.jpg and i couldn't resist fitting it to see how it all look's, need to cut and extend the bumper to make it tie in with the arch's, and cut out the middle like my last one, but this give's you an idea of roughly how it will look http://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0088.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0087.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0086.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0091.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0090.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0089.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0092.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0094.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0093.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0095.jpghttp://i102.photobucket.com/albums/m106/tezmanian_devil/escort%20project/DSCF0099.jpg that's all for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
