I asked Dave what you had bought Marco and the first thing I said when he said Escos was that I bet you put RL7's on it!

pmsl you know me with the Rl7's i just love the design of them they suit any car

i have seen them on a mits and a scoobs and they do look good on them aswell


Jc has a set of RL7 for his Mits or his TVR as they are 114.3 pcd stud pattern

he is going to fit them to his mk2 Rs escort with the TVR back end on it i cant wait to see that car when he finishes that it will look awesome with the RL7 's on it

Hi Dean

hows it going ? yes i got it today it's not mint but it's far from crap it's been lying about for 9 months and nothing that abit of paint cant sort out

it has a few dents but they are very slight

what i paid for it , it was well worth it

I thank Jc for that

hi pete

yes mate the reason why a cossie @ stage 3 will last for yrs like my 3dr did when it was at that power never had a problem in 5yrs untill i went 400 everything broke at that power diff box engine

i haven't got the money for big power or mad transmission


i have got a few spares complete rwd beam /gearbox ect

im going to get the gearbox and diff fully overhauled

just going to use most of the standard stuff like escort cos I/C

i have a spare alloy rad with fans


330 willbe quick enough the brakes and suspension and tyres will make up for the extra bhp

ill sort the handling out aswell

They are a good choice mate, about only 1 of 2 wheels i'd have over my Grp A comps!

Car looks wicked Marco, what colour is it going to be?

I reckon you should to it Moonstone and have Silver RL7's on it to match the 3dr!
