jghs83 Posted October 21, 2010 Author Share Posted October 21, 2010 I like the look of that, seems a bit of a shame to break an interesting car I know, it needs your zetec turbo in it Im gonna drop the engine then decide what to do You know that! Are you selling the nitrous kit? possibly, dry wizard of nos kit with a custom sprayed 8lb bottle, 50bhp jet at the mo, got a 100 shot jet too (i think thats what it is ) drop us an offer via pm if interested.

jghs83 Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 okay guys and gals this motor was stripped and a lot of parts sold and for a few month it was a running shell, no suspension etc with a lot of parts sold but the van died of disease of the dreaded tin worm and because i cant manange without an escort of some kind in my life i decided to re-build it using the parts from the van plus some extra bits i had laying around. now theres no nitrous (not my thing), no roll cage (as it was a show cage and only "looked the part") no hispecs (replaced with the mondys that were on the van) how it currentley looks, 10 points per every item you notice that has been changed, except the obvious wheel change of team dynamics to escos's http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/1b274116.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/0d4cf8a0.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/353cdcbd.jpg just looking at a narrower tyre size for the escos's at the moment as the 225's are too wide and scrub like mad! 195's are too narrow for me as im not into the stretched look so maybe 205/45's or 205/40's ideas plaese once its moted, its getting 2 pairs of bucket seats for it and an evo front intercooler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danzetec Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Its gained the roof bars! And swapped front lights for black tints, black smoke side repeaters, half-smoke rear lights, standard front grill, bonnet lift blocks are gone and its got glass windows again!? Are you fitting the cyclone skirts/arches from the van? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jghs83 Posted April 14, 2011 Author Share Posted April 14, 2011 been a while since i updated this but theres been some subtle changes. first off i sold the escos's and fitted some mint 18's off a lad on assioford but soon changed my mind as they no longer suited, youll see what i mean http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/3a137fc5.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/ccce8596.jpg then pulled some stickers off so it looks like this http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/5b753f59.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/04774fd9.jpg the wheels fitted are kei racing RsGt's not rss as most people think they are that were resprayed in toyota metallic grey with a red pin stripe http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/83bd6a2b.jpg some pwople may recognise them from tthe for sale section as i want some either more escos's or some rs7's also fitted some powerflex antiroll bar bushes and the cobra harnesses are fitted and usable. some random piccies http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/2cf20bd6.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/1491cdc4.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/dff9105f.jpg http://i844.photobucket.com/albums/ab3/jghs83/escort%20tdi%20estate/ab47f639.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harvez Posted April 19, 2011 Share Posted April 19, 2011 This is the most confused car i've ever seen from the first pics!! Fully stripped out, but then bunged a show cage in it & worst more, re-gained all the weight lost with the cage and those stupid floor plates which weigh a good few KG =/ then the Scooby scoop and angel headlights - if this thing over took me on track I'd drive into the nearest tyre wall ..... Good for parts thou! I run those breaks on my 2.1 turbo and had to double pump the brakes as the MC couldn't cope, same problem with yours? P.s. just seen the last few pics, get rid of the T*at scoop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
