Scuba Matt Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 OK Guys and Gals , I work overseas for six months at a time then come home for six weeks at a time. Last holiday I aquired an H reg Escort Converitble in White. It has the 1.6 efi engine (replaced new engine only has 8,000 miles on it) The whole car is in good condition but this weekend I return home to the car which has been in storage for the last six months with my best mate periodically running the engine.I plan to spend the next six weeks modding the car and would like any input anyone may have. Currently I am looking to put the full cosworth kit on it made by ESP and 17" Momo X-1 wheels not sure of the tires yet any Ideas?I have spent the last 2 weeks surfing the net and this seems to be the best forum to ask. Yes I will be joining the club as soon as I get home and decide what my adress wil be. oh yes I live in the south East. looking forward to any advice and comments.

Pete Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 I have spent the last 2 weeks surfing the net and this seems to be the best forum to ask Good start Welcome to Evo As Ross said, ESP are probably the best people for the Cossie kit but you will have a long wait. Alternatively you could contact Fibresports direct, they supply ESP with their kits anyway and you might get the parts a bit quicker. Give them a ring on 01268 527331 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuba Matt Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 if ESP are slow are there other kit manufactures that are recomended that I should check out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mk6 Si Ross Posted March 12, 2003 Share Posted March 12, 2003 unfortunately because they are good it means they are busy and therefore sometimes slow, worth a bell to see what kinda wait there is for the bits you want. How do you find living away for so often at a time???? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scuba Matt Posted March 12, 2003 Author Share Posted March 12, 2003 It's not bad living I just needed something to do on vacation which is why I came up with the Idea of modding a car. I work in the Caribbean so at least the weather is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
