JAMGTI Posted January 24, 2014 Share Posted January 24, 2014 After having escorts for the last 6/7 years, I finally decided to have a slight change. Started to look at used fiesta Zetec S tdcis but, after a piece on top gear the night before and the local dealer having one in the showroom decided to buy my first brand new car. After a 5 month wait I had a last drive of the escort, not been a bad car, only had to replace the usual service items, tyres brakes etc plus 1 set of wishbone and a clutch ratchet, not bad for 55k miles in 2 1/2 years http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/IMG_6810.jpgLoved these seatshttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/IMG_7276.jpgAnd being dropped at the dealers to be scrappedhttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/15fe35e5ec7d1b63238feb400035dbc5.jpg And this is what I replaced it with http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/4806af449c7f42f20a82915886a3f74f.jpg Fiesta ST2 in spirit blue. Absolutely love it. http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/a908762f382147e8857e84a88983f022.jpghttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/9119ff4aba541ee571ccc5d5d03daa19.jpghttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/d6e65144c05447e7b154605acbe3a1cc.jpghttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/c743f0c91baeb6cb080e78913bedf3c2.jpg So far fitted DMB gel badges and overlay, detango'd all the indicators, LED lamps everywhere, had all the bumper plastics painted gloss black to match the front grill. Painted engine coverhttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/aa30881f636b480e18984a85f24249e7.jpg Had a spending spree in Mountune Xmas offers, new mats, side stripes and short shifter which makes changing gear fell so much better. Getting the Mountune MP215 upgrade fitted next week, which so make it even better to drive than it already is. Future plans are Mountune based, intercooler, silicon hoses, eibach springs, big brakes and OZ wheels, and a JL audio speaker upgrade.

JAMGTI Posted March 2, 2014 Author Share Posted March 2, 2014 Finally got the Mountune kit fitted and an intake hose. Pleased with the power and torque it made, car pulls a lot more and feels like a different car even with the modest gains. http://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/a82800cdd5206b7407494d7d5b2d337d.jpghttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/a30f64761e36498e634de8db079e0ad1.jpg On Jamsports rollershttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/c52d6fcb4e5d2c49b5d03a6faec97428.jpg 217bhp & 261lbsfthttp://i1176.photobucket.com/albums/x325/mark_weaver1/4127e2e6d17b4c944b4e16069ea47980.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blizzard030 Posted March 2, 2014 Share Posted March 2, 2014 Nice looking car. But have to say a bit boring to be honest. Very common. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
