Errm took the dump valve off lol, had it chipped and set up by jamsport 169bhp and 202 torque, swapped the mondeo zetec wheels for standards, put smoked lights on instead of standard, and loads of bits and bobs, nearly 3 grands gone somewhere in 4 months! Worth it though just need more power now

looks lovely, next step will be a big front mounted intercooler (GRS are good) should be knocking on the door of 200bhp then.

That is my next step i think, how much are the grs? i looked atthe airtec cus there cheap but too many people have told me there shit. if i buy an intercooler and fit it myself, will it need to be set up again or fine as it is?

GRS is about £450 all in, that includes 2x Kenlowe fans.

used by Christian Major on the world's fastest Escort RS Turbo (and by myself ) so can't be too shabby!

Yes! Will deffo need a session on the rolling road after. When i fitted mine the boost increased from 15 to 20 psi and was detting its breasticles off.

make sure you get ll the bits you want and fit em all at the same time. that way you'll only pay out once for a set up instead of everytime you fit something new.

That looks very white, is it the original colour?

The car looks nice but what are you most proud of, the car or the camera you used to take the photo?

Im not totally sure about the colour iv had it next to other white ones and it looks the same, that pic does make the bonnet look different to what it is in real though!

And as for the camera its not even mine its my dads, when i uploaded to imageshack that bit about the camera came with the link~!

cheers for comments thoguh
