Right guys, a few if you will know that I have got another car lined up, in the shape of a MK4 Escort 5 Door. I have been looking at selling my Saph for a while now and I have been on the search for an escort for say a week and a bit

I was talking to a Friend who told me he has a friend who is selling an escort for £700. I asked about a swap for my Sierra and he got to My Saph and £150, Bargain.

So a big shout out to RSMat who has lent me the money so I can get it.
Thanks a lot mate, you're an absolute star!

The car is complete bar an exhaust, but I'm in minds of an RS Turbo Exhaust.

The Escort should be getting dropped off at mine either the end of this week or the beginning of this week.

Here's a few pictures of the car, I will get some more when she is home









Thanks for looking everyone

Escort looks a cracker.

An Rs turbo exhaust won't fit Lewis.

But don't be silly with it. IMO I'd leave it as it is and enjoy it. Don't bother with Rs turbo bumpers etc. Then your trying to be something it's not.

Nice one! Rep for Matt as well. Well done for helping the resident young un out!

Far better first car

Don't bother with a turbo exhaust, the bore is far too big for an NA car.

far better choice at ur age ,saying that I had a rst at 17 suits the wheels aswell

Andy, with it being a CVH engine I thought an RS Turbo exhaust would fit, or is it the exhaust mounts?

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

Thanks Guys I shouldn't have bought the Sierra but I did

foci

Who else can say they had a cossie at your age?

AJC

Lewis, it'll mount on the body.

But an Rs turbo exhaust bolts to the back of the turbo. Which you don't have.

If you want to tune it, I'd fit a zetec on bodies or a tuned cvh on carbs. But then your fuel will vanish

Looks great Lewis pal.

Cars longer don't forget its a 5 door!

That's just me being stuipd Andy

Cheers Kev mate

I am told there is a set of Cobra Monaco bucket seats in the front, so they will be removed an replaced with some Recaros. As the Cosworth/RS Turbo Recaros are the most comfortable seats I've ever sat in!

You mean LeedsRhino? God no!

Thanks buddy!

Something like a Janspeed exhaust is what you want. You can probably get manifolds from the likes of Ashley, but they won't do that much for performance.

foci

Think more Wenny than leedsrhino mate. You won't go wrong. You haven't been on black ops much?

foci

No bother mate. When will you be legal to drive?..

Mk4 Lew

iTrader: (1)

Saph will be gone the day the Escort comes mate.

Three months 6 days mate

nicksaph

a 3 door and a 5door escort are the same lenght

MikeyRobbo

Buying an Escort instead of a new TV! Priorities Lewis priorities

Never knew that!

Cossie Sean

Drive it, enjoy it and gain experience bragging points!

4 doors so 3 slags can get in easy

retro chic

dont get caught up in what you can do to it, it`ll have it off the road fucked in bits and piss you right off!

leave it as-is, cut the exhaust tailpipe off and weld a 3.5 / 4 inch tailpipe on, more noise and better looks

RST exhaust make it slower, lack of back pressure etc etc etc oh and sound SHYTE

Well done

i was flying about in a C reg orion ghia when i finished all my bans and for out of jail
loved every second of it

Cheers Sean

Thanks for posting them pics up Gav! That looks awesome!!!!

martysmartie

iTrader: (1)

Exactly,

It won't fit as yours is N/A, so it will differ at the manifold connection, plus the design of the exhaust is all wrong for that engine.

Looks tidy though.

The escort on shark tooths looks bang on.

Keep it like that Lewis. Any advice you need or help drop me a pm. Also if ought breaks let me know I've plenty of spares.

If you want an Rs turbo trim. Pm Botters as I think he's getting shut of his Rs turbo

Tarren

Great news Lewis!

I bet you can not wait to get your hands on it, Look forward to seeing load more pics!

Just concentrate on getting road legal. It looks like it needs nothing. Once your road legal, buy a knackered mondeo 2.0 and transplant it as long as your not going to drive like a hoon!

Thanks a lot Andy I've asked Marc what he's got, don't think he said anything about an interior.

My mate said he's going to throw in an 88 Spec RS Turbo bumper then another mate has said he's got a complete RST kit I can have. If I do alter it I will stick the bumpers on, it's easily swapped back over.

It has a 1.6 XR2 CVH in at the min but I'm going to get the original 1.4 aswell, so I can put that back in and play with the 1.6. Then drop that back in when I'm older

Like that mate really do,well done.
