Them rear wheels aint hiding in the arch anymore http://i645.photobucket.com/albums/uu179/roddszsoc/DSC00317.jpg Any rubbage? Wheel size and ET? Wheels are 17 x 7 et35 Its on gmax shocks and 40mm springs.. if i have me + 2 others in its fine.. but any more an it starts to rub.. i think some adjustable shocks/ coilovers would sort it out though.

JC Posted November 28, 2010 Share Posted November 28, 2010 (edited) when I had mine done, i used the 1.8 GTi inlet manifold, and 4-2-1 exhaust manifold. 1.8 induction, the 1.6 is smaller. also 2.0 maf, tb and injectors the temp guage died when the ECU was taken out, i could never find a fix, hence I went with aftermarket guages and didn't want to risk cooking my engine, had a water and oil temp guage fitted Edited November 28, 2010 by Lordjc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think another guy with an X reg had the same prob,the ECU and other bits, digi dials are different to the '97 escort the how to is based on the guages are easy to fit and IMO do a better job at reading the temp too!
