first time ive seen it in the flesh yesterday

fuk me it can shift

what box does he run?

 

FFD col proper car it is he aint shy in it either

 

ffd i think

 

col, it was nice to meet you yesterday mate, car looks awsome !

the escos runs a ffd 6 speed H pattern, same as in charlie shaws car,

 

cheers yeah you too jim,they werent joking when they said you were a big gadgy

your mans cars quality

 

good to see him giving you a shot of it aswell jim

 

You would never tell jims harveys son ehh col

 

na defo not harveys about 4ft

 

pmsl

yeah its good to get a drive, made a okish day a good one

 

carlo did you here what harvey said when he got out the passenger side of andrews focus?

 

Nah mate too busy shaking & checking my insides were back in place

 

im sure he said it made his car feel slow

 

it was something along the lines

jesus christ that can go

 

Sorry i miss read that there i thought you said what he said when i got out the focus! yeah i heard him say that lol

 

i gotta get me a spin in that monster i think

 

Think mike rainbum liked it jim ,

 

yeah he did ! didnt shut up about it all the way home

 

i didint know mike was there i would of spoke to him

thats the thing with the forums you dont know what anyone looks like

 

Would be nice to see Mike drop all the bollocks about needing to be a road car and just go for a full on mental spec with his escort, or start with a shell like the focus, he has the patience, contacts and right attitude to development to build a really monster trackday car if he put his resources and money etc into it.
He can pedal too which is important in something like that, all be it with a much smoother and tamer style than AndyG of course!

 

It was good when andy n harvey were in the focus checking a few bits out the bike tried to overtake the focus & promptly got dusted

 

i like his car as a road car and dont think making his car a track car is going to be the best way

the way to go would be start with a group a rally car and bung his engine in it,

thats where many people go wrong, they build a car spend 20k over what it would cost to do a grp a car then winge when its not as quick

 

Yeah a new shell makes most sense.
For the amount of trackdays he does, a dedicated car (and one with a cage for safety for that matter) would make a lot of sense I reckon

 

I hear Jimbo screams like a girl when he drives it round corners

 

any pics guys?

 

just for you lol

here it is in "drag mode" after i spend hours cleaning it, underside as well, only for it to rain






here it is with normal spoiler






jim

 

That is the nuts.
whenever I need some inspiration for my cossie, I always have a look at the feature on this.
Top boys!

 

i do

 

any times from said day or is it hush hush magazine feature?

 

magazine feature !

the escos didnt do very well unfortunately was only on intermediates in the pouring rain, but we all had good fun and managed to do some ok times,

 

I thought the rear of the car looked differant when i was speaking to you j1mbo but i couldnt put my finger on it

 

hi jim

i thought your dad had it converted to sequentail ? i am wrong ?ms90 ?

no dowt proper car and i liked the way he done the steering to keep the big front diff in with out moving the engine over

thats was a good idea 10 out of 10

 

hi marco,

no mate, its still h pattern i know he would like sequential though

iirc its a ms92, i know there was a bit of confusion about this, because it had a different hand set on it !

it also used to be a 7speed but was coverted as 7 speed is soo much more easy to miss gears with

 

look's the nut's is drag mode

 

whats the buttton you told your old man to press before his run jim?

 

i got some pics somewhere, went to Rockingham and saw it move.. goes like stink.

 

the button ? hmmm

only one i can think of is launch control ?!? but he would have know this urmmm i cant think of anymore lol

carl what car where you in ! should have popped over !

was you there when the red escort and yellow fiesta was there ?

or only the red escort ? we been twice now

post the pics up mate

 

LOVE IT!

 

hi jim

is a shame that harvy cant try the new squentail geabox that Bara built in the 2 new pike peek fiesta's they are awsome bit of kit


Hemming Solburg has same transmission in his rally car (on test plated front /rear diff and gearbox he is over the moon so far)

im sure they are in his focus at the min

marco

 

tell him to send one down we will test it rigorously lol

box is out aswell perfect timing

 

lol i dont think he would send one for free but might do discount price

when is harvy out on track again i want to go out in it passanger of course
