your biggest problem if you wanna stick with a erst is getting it to be able to use the power- with a new chassis like the focus mk1/2 its hard enough making that power usable i would think- in a 20yr old escort you really will have to go town on it!
What needs to get done to the chassis to strengthen it up ?
Right well maybe i thought 500 bhp wasnt as much as it is so ill let you know what im after and hopefully you guys can help me out.
Drive - not bothered if its FWD, RWD, 4WD aslong as it doesnt spin and just burns rubber all day.
Use - "Sunday" car, very minimal use.
0-60 - Sub 4 seconds
Top speed - 170mph +
Would like it to be quicker than the likes of, Jap subarus, evos etc ( quicker more in straight line rather than round corners but still would like it to handle well ).
Would also like 3 diffrent settings - say something like : Road ( X amount of power ) : Race ( X+ some more power ) Then the 3rd would be like the race setting but with a squirt of nitrous. Could that work ?
There we go - what do i need ? Can anyone help..... Please
