ha ha, thought i might catch you all out,

the saph is just being broken as i want a lot of bits of it

the truth is here

i went out in my mates turbo, running 24 psi and i forgot just how good they were, i then ran my mates at pod, did a 13.8 in a car i only driven once before and i had not launched a RST in 2 years

and i thought, i want one


so im building the MK3 escort up into a quick RST

DazC is my partner in crime, hes the brains, i just spend

shell minus interior



everythi thats not on the car



Stage 3 NMS head with inlet ported t match



Block



Sump, manifold, etc etc



started to source new parts



car of to my mates in Blackpool in a week for some TLC then paint, then
build her back up

got some std wheels getting refurbed as we speak
