Derek Millington Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 My girlfreind used to own a clio 1.2 so i had to make a change,has i have a mk 4 escort eclipse in blue and 2 escort vans being a ford fan i though that louise needed a better car with four doors which would also help with having a daughter. So i seached for a nice blue or silver si so that we could slowly modify it to look like a gti. Heres a few pictures. http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/smartvaleting/62daed1e.jpg added some new wheels and crome grill.http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/smartvaleting/6b47101d.jpg Some clear rear lights but the centre lights where broken, not a problem because im thinking of spraying them red just to make a little chage.notice the clio? (ready for sale)lol http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/smartvaleting/13eef1a2.jpg Found a backbox of a forus at ford fair for £20.00 made a few adjustments but fitted in the bumper nicelyhttp://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/smartvaleting/a77f43af.jpg http://i94.photobucket.com/albums/l89/smartvaleting/784b05ec.jpg Just looking for some more idears and sideskirt ect so any comments or idears welcome thanks for looking.

stoo2000 Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Hi Derek, Welcome to the site! Looks like you've got a very clean Escort there, I can't see the usual rust on the wheel arches. I'm not a fan of the rear lights, they might look better red though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Millington Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 Going to try just spraying the bottom half first to see if that looks ok if not completly red, no im not a fan of them either. got them so cheep i thought why not lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Millington Posted November 30, 2010 Author Share Posted November 30, 2010 What engine is in it? Its A standerd 1.8 si im sure its about 115 bhp standerd? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 1.8 Si's can be either 105 or 115 ps. There's nothing simple you can do to them to make them noticeably quicker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's nothing simple you can do to them to make them noticeably quicker. was just thinking maybe air filtter and samco hoses which will also help the look.getting some eibach lowering springs and some some superflex bushes to help the handling abit. any idears on the lowering side of things would help not to sure how low to go lol the girlfreind may take out all the speed rams lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted November 30, 2010 Share Posted November 30, 2010 Changing the air filter will do nothing for performance, unless the current air filter is blocked. I can supply Powerflex poly bush kits if you need something, be sure to order before 1st Jan though to avoid the VAT hike. Any lowering you do will negatively affect the handling, but if you must I wouldn't go any lower than 30mm below standard. H&R make decent springs. I can supply cheapies, Apex, if you want something average. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Millington Posted December 1, 2010 Author Share Posted December 1, 2010 Ive Got a freind who is sorting me out with the bushes and have already ordered the eibchs 30 pro kit, thanks tho,has its just the wifes car im not going to over the top, just looking like a gti would be great wiht a few mods so its still ideal for a family car realy. Because their a cheep car to do up and so many parts and upgrades avaiable im trying to convince to wife/girlfreind in letting me have a gti or rs2000 lol have seen some great idears and cars change from standered to become a nice bit of kit on this forum i may even just get a old snotter and build on it..
