AutomodellistaGT Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 lol, suprising difference? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mike C Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 136BHP as standard, but probably a nice bit more than that if it's been tweaked just to fit and run properly in the Escort, so likely to be 140-150BHP should be a nice torque figure too i'd say around the 8sec mark to 60 and i reckon should be able to get pushing 140mph out of 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ex-Finesse Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Great news! Get some vids and tell us what has tried it on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marcus Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 (edited) theres deffo a big difference. i so wish i did coilovers, RS2k alloys refurbed in black, GTi front bumper and 2 litre engine with LOADS of mods and standard bodywork even down to the dints that were on it, id have a well nice (sleeper) car if i did that.......

cargy Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 i'd say around the 8sec mark to 60 and i reckon should be able to get pushing 140mph out of 1 <{POST_SNAPBACK}> That seems quite low. When my Son and I timed mine we got 8.5dsecs 0-60 and that was when it was blowing at the manifold to downpipe joint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm such a tart about the subject, I've even picked up the imperfections in the standard Ford panels ffs! Marcus are you ever going to respray your RS7's in anthracite?

I thought it was low, but even the worst time came out less than 9. I might check it again tho! at 15 he is a lying little sod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cargy Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 get to Ford Fair and time it on real equipment <{POST_SNAPBACK}> Reckon I better I've a feeling that Luke (my son) has made me look a pillock! Meantime I'll be doing a few runs up the Spur Road to check it again this weekend, and this time he can use his cameraphone thingy so that I can see for myself. In the pilot's chair it seems to take about 3 seconds but even I know thats just a subjective impression Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ex-Finesse Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 I beleive Ford Fair is £5 a run, but have a couple to check your consistency! you wanna come sort my arches out then Ralph?!!!! <{POST_SNAPBACK}> The mk5 escort which originally had the tailgate I now have had the usual rusting arches problem. It failed on MOT for bodywork corrosion. But it was inside the rear arches where the rust had killed it! There were large holes through the shell around the shock assembly! Please check this isn't happening to yours mate! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk6 Si Ross Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 a normal RWYB day will be best as its 15 quid for as many runs as you dare do We have an Evo date for one on the board somewhere Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
