well I'm pretty sad just lately, the engine in my escort has sold, so thats y just finished perfect escort going back to standard power and the second, my dad has sold the pretty famous SCS escort cosworth. I'll be honest, I had a little tear when it drove away on the back of the trailer

First off the escos, it took us two years to build this, and it just got better and better over the next two years of owning it, this car seriously concentrated the brain, but the rewards was incredible. The power was addictive, when on boost the acceleration was absolutely mental, the grip, (then the lack of it in fourth gear with all four hot slicks alight ), just MENTAL, will seriously miss it.



Then my first car, my little baby. It's undergone so many changes, breaking gearboxes, engines, brakes, the lot. Ive only just got it 100% right tbh, and out on track at ford fair was awesome, such a rewarding little car to drive. I don't think the gtr expected me to put up such a fight out the corner and through 3rd

Now the engines gone, she will just be a standard run about for college


So there it is, two of my favourite cars finished, we both have new toys so I guess that's a bonus, just sucks right now

Jim

 

whats next for scs jim?

 

Big shame matey, your Escort was the best MK5 in the UK IMO. Can sell me the splitter now

Look forward to seeing both the new projects progress. Well, yours isn't so new, but even so!

 

Bits in motion mate, will update this shortly maybe

 

who's bought the scs car? know what u mean the feeling seeing something you've loved drive away!

 

Aye, I'm gutted, and the awnser is still no its not getting fully broken

 

It's only a vehicle that gets you from A-B....

 

I'm not asking you to fully break it

 

why did you sell your engine? i'd say you were in maybe 5% of modified car owners who could say their project was, at one point at least finished

 

Bigger and better bro, always remember that You have more good memories than bad with both cars and just think about how much you've learned from building those 2 cars alone.

I can't wait to see how the Saph will turn out and how your dad's car will innevitably be better than the first.

It'll be alreet













































P.S. you're still a 4th gear cheating little skip rat!!!

 

Chez, he dosnt want people to know just yet but he will be at shows giving it some on track mate

Lol Luke! I await the testy all when the fiesta goes

Wangers, maybe one day

Im dreading watching me 3dr go but needs must and its up for sale. The wife is already taking bets on how long ill be cossyless. LOL

 

J1mbo, time for an I4? Go on, you know you want one

 

Icarus, I cant be bothered if I'm completely honest it would piss me off my bro coming past in his cvh turbo, so 1.4 power for college runner then a naughty yb going in the saff me thinks

 

So no 2.3 I4 turbo then? Would be interesting to have seen what you guys could do with it

 

lol jimbo im sure what every ur old man is getting will be better

 

What did the Escos go for if you don't mind me asking? Ballpark is fine

 

no good Jim.. whats the escos been replaced with

 

So whats the plans for the saff.

 

I'd love to, but it would end up stupid power the old mans done sensible ones over 400bp, good engine!

What he wanted,

Sendingfor paint next month and building engine!



I'll see if I can get some pics of new car up

 

Jimbo, not being rude, just wondering as I would love a car like that one day, be interested to know the build cost or buy cost? Pm me if you like. Thanks, Will

 

Looking forward to the replacement of the Escos

 

Will ill fire a pm over.

Roy, I'm really looking forward to driving this one

 

Love the new one Jim, it'll be ten times better than your dad's old car....you know it will be. But it's gotta stay the same colour

Get that Saph sorted now pal

 

When do we get to see it!

 

Yes short arse we need to see pics of the new car

 

Get some pics up of that crappy replacement ha ha

Going to be a serious bit of kit, or I should say a even more serious bit of kit

As for your car, needs must mate. Your saph will be a very worthy replacement

 

Bloody hell, I agree that you own the best mk5 around. As for a replacement for the cossie, get some pics up!!!!

 

pics jimbo?

 

Doubt he will at this stage, they'll wanna get stuck in and to a respectable standard before it gets unleashed

 

It could have been ready already al, but wanted to do everything right, as usual, time consuming will be mint when done!

Traynor, will sort some out soon

 

I have too many good memories of Kagga! Bless her, what a first car eh? Nothing will rip up Lincoln road like our two little cars did...... oh wait yes they will, 2 white flame spitting cossies!

Man up, grow a pair and get that cossie done. I might just beat you to it

RIP Kagga

As for your Dads car, nothing much to say about it! Iconic, Legendary fast ford! Amazing job you lot did! I was lucky enough to have a little ride out

PS, are the drums for sale? I wouldn't mind putting them on the cossie pmsl

 

Rahahaaa!

Mate that night was mental awesome!

You need to get finger out boyo, pistons ordered, rod arrived, t6 ecu on way and loom being made

 

The drums are a perfect aerodynamic feature, none of this floating disc nonsense

 

What??? Mate, you need to pump the brakes on and let me catch up!!!! That night was epic!

pmsl! To be honest, they just add weight to the car, because they don't do anything Oh well could be worse Jimbo, could have a space age looking ariel on your saph.....

 

Oh you didn't just go there!! You epic tosser LOL!!
