my brother has a blue 3 door mk1 escort and a red mk2 4 door one.
Ive been in a few. Including an all original Harrier :)
you'll never forget the first time you get a mk2 sideways on tarmac........ i just wish the one my missus bought for £30 wasn't so rotten it could have been a vauxhall....... it only got one proper good blast down the rd......... to the breakers yard. 20 miles of who cares sort of driving.....
its the only car i ever drove on the road where i was looking forward thru the rear passenger window.....and still held onto it & got it straight..
i had nowhere to store it, or it would have been a seven
ST170 is the 2 litre turbo?
Looks a real beaut.
Sadly I'd like the jap crap it's parked next to.........

2L n/a but as said this one has TB's and management hence 187bhp.

Possibly the worst statement you have ever made.
Possibly the worst statement you have ever made.heavy jap crap
1.4t isnt exactly heavy? R33-GTR will still do 1/4mile in standard form 12.8secs.
Engine was designed for 500bhp, so is supe reliable, transmission systems are quality, drive very nicely. Dont exactly look ugly.
Near 50/50 weight distribution.
Fail to see in any way, shape or form how heyre crap?

Fail to see in any way, shape or form how heyre crap?its facking heavy enough and according to the owner of this r33 although the internals can cope with lots of power things like clutch and coil packs dont like anything above standard power
