JC Posted April 29, 2012 Author Share Posted April 29, 2012 Love the pictures, so you think you might have finished! You ain't finished till them bump strips go. Dunno really, but I have what I set out to achieve and thinking no plans on the agenda really... undecided about more power.... And no the bump strips are stopping... It goes in multi stories.. only took 73 pages lol top work that man! Cheers Aye, bet you can hammer it out the corners now! that i can, can't wait to the next track day outting! Just hope it doesn;t stop me going on to three wheels! That is cracking John! I think this has to be one of my favourite Escorts!! I didn't realise how much difference an LSD made until i went out in my friends Rover 200 BRM, its an odd feeling isnt it! It's strange at first, then love it! So should have got it done sooner! dare I ask how much it cost to have the gearbox rebuilt with the lsd? PM'd Also have some new tyres fitted to match the rears: http://i906.photobucket.com/albums/ac263/lordjc1983-2/Silver%20Escort/IMAG0299.jpg much better than the t1r I had, don't tram line and more grip in the wet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
