Default My Escort Cosworth

Not long joined up, but have been reading posts on this site for years as I have worked with Chris@Carnoisseur for about 8 years now. Ive had a few RST's (Escort and Fiesta) few XR's, one saff cos (which I still own bits of?!) and now I thought Id see what all the fuss is about with Escort cosworths. This is mine.....








Ive done a few bits to it in the 4 weeks or so that I have owned it, like the brakes, 500 spec intercooler, carbon front grill. Its almost how I want it, just want a rear cage, decent steering wheel and get the power up from a dyno provern 328bhp to more 380bhp ish as my old astra GTE turbo I sold to my mate Kicks this things arse! Also a few of my friends have Novas that make me look a bit stupid in a straight line. I do enjoy driving it and have done a few power slides which ive never experienced before a this is my first 4x4. However, my main passion is still mk2 Astra, click this link to see my long term project - http://www.astra-mk2.com/forum/showthread.php?t=10008

JHS - If you ring this number 07720889601 and speak to Phil, he can do you a carbon grill for £120.
