Once upon a time there was a pretty mint condition esc cos as seen below



with a pretty sweet running engine



one day the esc cos was running an errand to go and pick up these beautiful items to wear the next day










THEN!!!!!



oh ballbags!




hence the story ends so far on this pleasant note!




never mind though boys and girls because the next day, the following decided to start happening











now the poor cars guts are all on show to all and sundry







so engine out at last and on to a stand where it can be stripped of the p/s assembly, diff and all other crap














so there we bid the engine farewell.... as it is drained of all its oil..

next step, lots of packing, a pallet and straps and its off for a little journey....




TOO BE CONTINUED.....................

Class

 

good luck with the rebuild. Sure it'll be good fun when it's all done.


What caused the failure?

 

F**ck me it must of have over heated badly its burnt all the paint of the cam cover and plenum chamber

Good luck with the engine build Dave. you will need it.

Dave.

 

Glad you can see the funny side of it Dave.

At least it will be better than what it was,something to show what the cash has been spent on.



Dave.

 

yeh, waht caused the melty man to drop by....? injector blocked, air leak, plug breaking down?

 

Dave, I would big wing the sump whilst you are at it too.

Paul

 

cheers guys

Paul.. how much more would that be? is it worth it for a road car???

the shopping list is going up and up and up! update soon.. maybee tonight

 

I don't think they are that much actually. I recall Sean saying his mountune one was just over a tonne. Marco might be best person to ask on a price for modding your own one. As regards need, I suppose you never know when it might see a track for some action, but in reality I've done a couple of days with my standard one with no obvious problems. Maybe with slicks it would be worse. I think its just an extra safety measure that in my circumstances I would use.

 

pmsfl @ the story/pics

Good luck dave

 

Good luck dave hope all turns out ok for you i got 1 of them stands too lol
Boom=Wallet open = empty lol

 

dave.....

bummer youth

re pauls comment...



thats either porkies i think, cant remember pal

easy geeeza

 

Dave, I had a look on the mountune website. For Ł150 you get the baffle only which must fit into the standard sump. It no way looks like Lee's, that Matt's posted, but I think this is what Sean said he ran in his for a while

 

PMSL @ The Story board Dave

Any news? Email me if it's secret

 

i had the exact same happen to me last year but i cracked the block aswell but she aint far from ready again now so i know exactly what youve gone through lol hope its all going to plan fella

 

hey man gl with the rebuild you'll have it runnin even better before long.. man that thing was pingin on #2 like a mofo.. faulty injector/harness?

best wishes man, come checkout my us-spec (well, mazda spec heh) scort sometime and the thread on this site too to help if you guys got some cvh info

 

Hows it going Dave? you better hurry your engine builder along it takes a while to rebuild it

Dave.

 

not good Dave, hope its sorted soon

Gav

 

ooooh! my first big update. Sadly nopthing to do with the engine. It hasnt been taken to its place of re-bith.... yet!

Still... yesterdya i received my new WRC parts. Front bumper and rear spoiler my new front Diff.. and some pulleys so onward with the update



heres my newly rebuilt Diff with quaiffe internals hopefully should handle the new power on its way to it



shown here is the packed up parts ready to be taken off witht he engine rebuild... also shown are the std esc cos bumper and rear spoilers ... ready for me to offer up the wrc parts to see just how badly they fit!



new pulleys



here is the WRC front bumper... ive offered it up and supported by various odds and sods... i kept doing this as it needed a lot of adjustment. I had to keep cutting parts of it off to let it fit snugly around the morrettes.. here it is after most of the cutting and adjustment was made



not a bad fit so far on the edges.. where they are notorious for fitting badly with massive gaps




TO keep the sides secure, i had to modify the std esc cos lower wing mounts and add these threaded strips to secure.. works very well i might add.. holds it solid





whilst i was under the wing.. i found this.. does anyone know what the hell it is?

(behind drivers front wing)



i think ive now got the fit pretty spot on.. (5 hours later!) check how its aligned. spot on if you ask me





i decided to leave the front and go check out the rear... thinking the worst.. that it wouldnt fit.. i was suprised to see that it did







i cant be arsed to fit this just yet.. so it can just balance there for a while!.. back to the bumper

here it is all trial mounted, with all brackets made and mounting points made too. Cuts have been made and it all looks pretty good to me





these are just two of the brackets.. riveted to the panel holding it securely





pretty cool ducting, this shall have pipework attatched and directed straight to the air filter







where i had to cut away part of the bumper.. i guess wrc cars didnt have washer bottles



as i had the pro alloy gear in the garage, i decided to fit the intercooler to see how hard it will look in situ..

verdict?

fucking hard! :cry;







lots more to be done, but its dinner time and i may pop down to do a few more bits.. but thats the update so far......

thank you for visiting


ooops... how did this get in here

 

Good good ... But why have you got Robbie Williams in your sig

 

still need you mate for the finishing of the bumper

as for robbie... well hes fecking sexy .. thats why!

 

HA you edited it adding the bumper pics... looks dam spot on mate, tbh probably 9/10 ECos std bumpers fit not far off the same as that anyway... needs some kind of grills though and what about the centre grill? You got one?

 

tell you what else Id do.. either paint the cooler black or get pro alloy to put thier PRO logo at the bottom of the cooler also

 

centre grill.. im keeping the std esc cos one.. as the wrc ones look shit

BUT im having the ford badge removed and smoothed

as for the front gap... im thinking of stainless ducting, ducting ALL air straight to the intercooler.. just like that red WRC escort pic

not sure on the brake ducts yet on the side.....
