LiamGTR Posted March 29, 2010 Share Posted March 29, 2010 I have to ask why you're planning on keeping an escort "for years to come" ? You're going to end up wasting a rubbish load of money at this rate and what are you going to have to show for it? An average looking Escort with a max of 220bhp ? Sorry to sound negative but with the money you will end up blowing in "years to come"... imagine saving that up starting tomorrow and what you could have.

stevmo3691 Posted March 29, 2010 Author Share Posted March 29, 2010 liam - its because i love my escort and just think what you could have bought with what you've spent on an encore?thats the whole point. i had a toyota corolla GLS on a Y reg. lovely engine, sweet gearbox, handled well, all the toys including ABS with EBD, front and rear disc brakes, 6 cd changer, aircon, elec sunroof etc. but it was the most soul less car i have ever owned other than my vectra. escort has a personality and i love it, despite the flaws like the fact mywindscreen washer pump has decided to stop working despite having only been replaced in july prior to the first of its 3 MOTS last year.i intend to keep my escort as long as possible. fed up of changing cars after only a few months. i didnt give up on it when it failed mot on rust and i wont give up anytime soon. that why i'm happy to take the stick i'm given for spending so much on my car as i dont care called project overspend because the original plans for this car when i bought it was:my sony head unitremote locking15" gti alloyswhite dialsmy old alloy pedalsk&n induction kitstainless back box with twin exitkeep it clean just went out of control so might aswell do it right liam - its because i love my escort and just think what you could have bought with what you've spent on an encore?thats the whole point. i had a toyota corolla GLS on a Y reg. lovely engine, sweet gearbox, handled well, all the toys including ABS with EBD, front and rear disc brakes, 6 cd changer, aircon, elec sunroof etc. but it was the most soul less car i have ever owned other than my vectra. escort has a personality and i love it, despite the flaws like the fact mywindscreen washer pump has decided to stop working despite having only been replaced in july prior to the first of its 3 MOTS last year.i intend to keep my escort as long as possible. fed up of changing cars after only a few months. i didnt give up on it when it failed mot on rust and i wont give up anytime soon. that why i'm happy to take the stick i'm given for spending so much on my car as i dont care called project overspend because the original plans for this car when i bought it was:my sony head unitremote locking15" gti alloyswhite dialsmy old alloy pedalsk&n induction kitstainless back box with twin exitkeep it clean just went out of control so might aswell do it right Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JC Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 fast ford april issue: 2ltr zetec with decat, 4-2-1 manifoil,, s2 rst injectors with a output of 156bhp Hilarious.... I'm interested in that claim, what's your opinion on that Stu? as I thought injectors were meant to match the ECU? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted March 30, 2010 Share Posted March 30, 2010 what's your opinion on that Stu? It's not opinion, it's fact! S2 injectors are mechanical, Zetec ones are electric!! A rather notable discrepancy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
