nice, get some 90 spec (orion) bumpers on there, if you can find a set in good nick cos they look so much better, i'm sure you already know escort stuff is a straight swap from the back seats forward. i had mine lowered -40mm, spax adjustables with front and rear strut braces and it used to handle on rails i was 18 when i had mine so i build it for other things rather than pay a mint for the insurance on somthing quick.

looks really clean too

also, get some clear indicators on there, and colour coded mirrors.

 

thanks for the advice! do you have a picture of the orion bumpers you mean?

 

like my one's matey

 

ah yes now i know which one you mean...it does look a lot better with that bumper

yours is very clean...the wheels really suit it ...what spec is it?

has anyone got anything good to say about the colour because im not keen on it at all

id much perfer white or red

 

It's a 1990 1.6 Ghia, but converted to a turbo, with an inlet manifold from a Fiesta RST, and T3 turbo from an Escort, and a one-piece exhaust from Power Engineering.

lowered 60mm all round on G-max springs, 16" mondeo alloys with lower profile tyres, so no rubbing




I don't mind the colour, it's not very common unlike white or red. Just get some clear's on it and some nice wheels, and I'm sure you'll begin to like it better

 

whats the best setup for best handling in your opinion?

is there much work involved in the turbo conversion? obviously there is but is it difficult?

looking at yours it need blody lowering lol!

thanks

 

I wouldn't be the best person to answer buddy, I didn't do any of the work, that's how I bought the car a few months ago.

I've just got standard shocks on the now, with the lowering srpings and it handles really well imo

The turbo conversion aint 100% complete yet, but as far as I know it aint TOO difficult....I've got an Ofab ECU and Map Sensor from a FRST to get fitted yet, hopefully in the next month or two, then I can crank the boost up a bit.
