new car :) (ford)

[sri_boi]

hi...aint been on here in ages..

well ive owned 4 cars including this one, nova 1.2 (sr rep), 1.4 sri,316 bmw and now this.....escort mk4....and its the best and cleanest car ive owned, its basically mint condition with only a tad bit of rust on the rear passenger arch.....;) found my family with ford :D...mk1/2 escort, rs turbos, rs1600i, saph, ecos...some very nice cars they have made :)

spec:

front recaros (88spec)
lowered (approx 70/80 on rear, 60 on front)
fully stripped
refurbished rs series 2 alloys (one on show in spare wheel well)
1.6 cvh (soon to have a few mods done, inc k&n, 4-2-1 ashley and full straight through exhaust) untill the zetec goes in..in the summer ;)

hope you like :)

Don't know anything about 'em, but looks pretty tidy and nice and low. :thumb:

[Jack]

Your bonnet doesn't fit right

[Dave.]

looks nice, allways been a fan of the mk4 escorts, does the bonnet shut all the way lol

[Adam]

Very nice that, dont see many of those about any more.

[sri_boi]

lol..i took those pics the day i tried the bonnet rasiers on, only fitting them back on in the summer to help with under bonnet temps :)..

and cheers for the comments :D

[Stanley]

GSi skirts, spedlines, GSi bump.......oh no......wait....ahh i see its an escort lol

My bad!

Actually looks quite tidy there lad!

Clear indicators, Painted mirrors and maybe a couple of RST bits and your laughing!!

Good job!

[sri_boi]

well i think the base models look the bollox....and i want it to be a sleeperish (1.6cvh) untill the zetec goes in and then i will be fitting a full rs kit, (bumpers,arches,skirts,spoiler) but it has some rs parts on it now, (inc rs series 2 alloys, recaro seats, rs dash,speedo/clocks, rs steering wheel, interior clock/light)

:)

[Mike]

FORD = Found On Roadsides Dead

more like FORD= f***d on race day! lol

[Ash]

fixed or repaired daily surely?

[sri_boi]

not realy fella, like i said its the best car ive owned, inlcuding the reason its more reliable etc than my sri and 316....

it is true that there are a few fix or repair daily ones out there...but this one is solid and reliable..other wise i wouldnt have brought it ;)

be veryy relaible with the zetec (soon to be) 1.8 xr3i, 130bhp standard, but the plan is for a reliable 200bhp mk4....sleepers i love em! ;)

[Nobby]

fixed or repaired daily surely?

pmsl yeah when he passes his test! ;) na to be fair she is a clean old car and i do like my fords but once a nova owner always a Nova owner! :thumb:

the mk3 escort shares the same kinda back window style as the nova...:)

[Novadex]

lol thats not a sleeper when you look threw the window!

[sri_boi]

a standard mk3 with a cage......and about 350/400bhp under the bonnet....hmmm not a sleeper ay!

[Jack]

Just goes to show how crap ford engines are if they have to raise the bonnet to keep them cool :p

the mk3 escort shares the same kinda back window style as the nova...:)
They look a lot like 2dr saloons, although as much as I love the nova coup?s, I hate the look of the escorts.

[burgo]

loving the escort, mk4's are growing on me as im helping me mate with his convertable doing an rs turbo conversion

[draper]

Found On Rubbish Dumps ??

leave the bonnet raises off, looks like a bad repair job

[london_chris]

id recomend the 2 litre zetec bottom end on a 1.6cvh head id i were you,ZVH conversion, i wouldnt run a 2litre zetec if your thinking of tuning it as the valves are quite restrictive, at 136bhp standard you wont get much past 200 with a lot of mods, well done for joining the ford family, really decent cars if you know what your doing and you like welding lol good luck with your project and i look forward to seeing your progress

[sri_boi]

cheers "london_chris" :thumb:

well i dont fancy chucking all my money at a zvh...not on this car...
just going for a quick zetec tbh....and when i want somthing quicker il buy somthing quicker :D

me mates building a 2.1 zvh turbo to go into his rs turbo at the moment...should be around 320bhp+ when its all done...;)..but its costing him a fortune to do the zvh route :( cant wait the see the final product though :roll:

[vallanc3]

theres a guy who lives up road from me with a 2.1 zetec turbo...head has had something like 2-3k worth of work on it and everything else bar the turbo is stage3 items...blew the turbo up tho so its off the road getting a stage3 turbo.

[dannyb]

I like it, old Fords make as much sense as old Vauxhalls in terms of cheapness to get bits for, I was looking at a Burton power catalogue and the availablitily of parts is astounding! Your Escy looks tidy, I have friends who've had these and the only problems they've had are the same as Nova ownership issues - the tin worm! Is there a Burton catalogue type thing for Vauxhalls BTW??

[Matt2107]

I think it looks gay!

Ford aka Fook Off Retarded Driver.

[sri_boi]

**** you....

sorry but your jst a prick imo!!

i love it....al that matters :)
