Default my mk4 Escort Bonus ST170 + throttle bodies - quick vid added
had a thread in resto room but cant find it so thought would put some updated pics in here!

Car is a 29,000 mile example which I bought completely standard, mint and original - drove it from London to Edinburgh home!

She now runs a 2.0 zetec on full RS1800 management and goes very well, also runs an RST box, lowered 40mm on RST wheels and 90 spec RST interior.

Plans involve 4 branch and full stainless, fit my big brakes, new smaller number plates and some poly bushes as I intend to have it on the track this year

last pic is an older one, the full interior is now in (turbo dash, door cards, better seat etc and ecu mounted in glove box)

and some random pics of her build

treated the old girl this weekend to a new set of wheels, a four branch, full Scorpion stainless and found the inlet manifold was the crappy SO one so got an HO one on her now, going very well and got a great noise to her now!

Name: DSC00155.jpg Views: 877 Size: 116.9 KB

Wheels came this colour but not sure to keep them anthracite cos it goes with bumpers etc or do them shiny silver or white? any opinions welcome but i'm very chuffed to actually have a set!

Got some of those wheels in 16" sitting here... they REALLY suit a MK4 Escort. I'd defo leave them black to go with bumpers mate, silver will look shite against the paintwork and white will look chav and un-sleeperish IMO.


Cheers,
Grant
