Bit of footage of my m8's escort cosworth at Trax from sunday that is now finally done after 5 years of sourcing the parts & building it

 

800bhp that's a lot! What sort of speed was he hitting down the start finish straight?

 

over 100 but not sure because i wasn.t lookin whilst driving but did see it reading 140 down hanger straight with james driving

 

hope he showed them skylines a thing or two

 

The car was getting some nice comments on escortrscosworth.com the other day.

 

Hi mate, just watched some in car footage, he was following Hadden for most. Its the 8.32

 

800bhp whats he done to it and tuned it

 

i was driving the 15.30 session in it & went past everything & went past back markers (thats the 1st bit of vid till car comes back in pits) jammy was driving the 16.10 session havin a good play with a 600bhp red skyline gtr

 

if you click on my profile there is a album with a load of build pics cos there is to much to list its a proper thing with no expense spaired

 

Just looked at your saff in your profile Ricko, may i say very nice bud....

 

140 isn't that fast down hanger you sure it wasn't more than that as at 800hp it will be pulling a he'll of a lot more !

 

Who built the engine for this car sounds awesome

 

hi jimbo when i saw it readin 140 it was at a glance that was the 1st session of the day & james & i are still getting use to it as ford fair was the 1st time in the car but it was getting faster & faster throughout the afternoon
hi carlo Tommy from Field has done nearly all the engine & mapped it all dyno'd etc

 

Thought it would be quicker than that

What gearbox does he run in it ?

 

epic escos

loved it a Ford Fair

 

Just looked at the build pics Proper or what. Awesome mate

 

its running a 7 speed FFD

 

That looks a proper tool mate..nice one and well built!!!


cheers danny

 

Proper gearbox eh

How do you get on with it, I drive the 6 speed in my dads well enough but have heard 7 speeds are very hard to get used to solo fast through the gears though eh

 

its a 7 speed FFD sequential which dead easy pal just bang it up down as you please

 

Ahh its alright for some lol thought you ment h pattern !

 

Amazing car, lots of nice and expensive goodies to complement it, deffo by the spec one of the best out there.

Any idea what it weighs?

 

the goodies are all genuine Ford 909 WRC or GRP A parts that have took years & miles getting together, FFD 7 speed seqen gearbox,9" rear diff 7.5" front diff wrc front crossmember square bear with mag arms etc arn't that easy to find
not sur what it weights but gonna weight it next time its at work on weight bridge lol

 

i am quite litterally DIEING for some Track Action.

 

such a nice car! had a good look at it when at TRAX the weekend

what was nice is the owner of such a car didnt mind one bit me and my mates looking over it and admiring every inch of it as some people would with such a car
