Scort_CVH Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Picked this up when the escort decided it wasn't so keen on its bottom end bearings :/ For those of you how dont know about Hondas, its a 1.8 with 197BHP standard, red recaro seats, titanium gear know, double wishbone suspension etc etc lol Ive got a new cat-back stainless exhaust for it and some 282mm front brakes http://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/SUBARU_2006/537451_10151246631879217_987386477_n_zps423a15f4.jpghttp://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/SUBARU_2006/527368_10151246632459217_334152806_n_zps1a67541c.jpghttp://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/SUBARU_2006/424136_557143000962963_24321313_n_zpsfb9459b7.jpghttp://i64.photobucket.com/albums/h183/SUBARU_2006/29598_465742590150880_735387915_n.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 Cool. Why you'd want to leave this at home and take an Escort on a track is beyond me. Unless you're into banger racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLEEMAN Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 maybe he doesn't want to ruin such a nice car around a track and instead ruin a cheap rusty scort in a sense like what i'm doing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Craig855S Posted January 14, 2013 Share Posted January 14, 2013 maybe he doesn't want to ruin such a nice car around a track and instead ruin a cheap rusty scort in a sense like what i'm doing! So he's not even going to give "One of the best handling FWD cars ever" a thorough testing because he's scared of giving it a bit of gravel rash. Drive well within your limits and you'll get 10 times the fun out of the Teg than any escort would ever give, and you wont need to fork out for repairs cos you wont crash it, if you drive cleanly..And even if you do fall off the track, it wont cause much work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scort_CVH Posted January 14, 2013 Author Share Posted January 14, 2013 So what, it's a garage queen? Nah Stu its my daily! I use it to do my 70mile round trip to uni maybe he doesn't want to ruin such a nice car around a track and instead ruin a cheap rusty scort in a sense like what i'm doing! Thats it on the head man, the Integra parts for a bumper are £100 + paint, the escort bumper is £10 and a rattle can cos its not a clean car anyway lol like that Cheers man its such a good car to drive, the handeling is as good as they say! maybe he doesn't want to ruin such a nice car around a track and instead ruin a cheap rusty scort in a sense like what i'm doing!

I do see your point about my limits but other people may not know theres :L maybe he doesn't want to ruin such a nice car around a track and instead ruin a cheap rusty scort in a sense like what i'm doing!

Not really a good comparison tbh mate (cash and modification wise) and youll find the integra has far superior suspension geometry than the Maxi (rear beam for a start) and the maxi only has 50bhp on it!

A Maxi would absolutely sh!t on that Honda. im still not understanding these comments mate :/ thats a rally car and youre comparing it against a road car. Take the integra and spend the same on it and the escort will be nowhere near, purely due to the chassis engineering Honda put in. However, rose tinted specticles and all that a maxi is what £26k? Integra 3-4k, i think with even 10k or less I could make something so much faster and tbh a much better all round car Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted January 15, 2013 Share Posted January 15, 2013 I really doubt a maxi is better than an integra. The rear end of the maxi doesn't perform much better than a stock Escort, and some of the GS copies are worse than OEM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
