Here she is.

After 5 Imprezas, an Evo 8 and 3 E46 M3s I think I am in love. However my misses is not. She refers to it as "just a L reg Escort"

Got home at 6am with her and only slept 4 hours as I wanted to clean and drive it again.

Did 225miles to just over half a tank of fuel at 75mph. I was very impressed.

Its 500bhp and has a MAHOOSIVE spec.

I didn't get it for the power purely because it seems very well done. 78k full service history and LOADS of receipts with low owners.

Will post a full spec soon as I need to type it up as its on a folder of paper.

The current engine was build by A1 Rally Sport and PTD

I am going to be using this as my daily driver as I couldn't hide this away in my garage it would kill me. I will however take it off the road for winter next year.

Its fully undersealed, waxoiled and seems VERY solid. Wee bubble of rust on the filler cap but thats getting done this week.

I have loads of questions but will post them in the relevant forums.

 

Nice,

Get some proper brakes for it at that power though

 

Yep thats my plan of action for this week.

I won't be kicking the arse out of it anyways but she needs big stoppers.

 

that looks mint some big brakes and 18inch escort cossie wheels job done.

 

You're brave using an EsCos as a daily, big no no for me leaving that anywhere!

And as above, good luck slowing 500 ponies on standard brakes
Looks lovely though mate.

 

I'm lucky I park at my work and have it in my garage at night

Aye the brakes are not as bad as I thought they would be but I wouldn't fancy a power run then trying to stop at the end.

It would be criminal not to drive it every day

 

See it advertised, bloody lovely!

Have a soft spot for Red Escort Cosworths

 

What gearbox is it running to handle that power?

 

I'm not sure will need to check its got a quafe diff (9 inch) 3.64 ratio diff, custom prob and 2wd cosworth rear beam.

 

Very, very nice! Lovely looking car mate! Congrats on the purchase!

 

500bhp and RWD as a daily driver, love it
best of luck with your new escos mate

 

Stunning mate and fair play for actually using it

 

You got this off my mate jay

He is such a dick for selling it what a gay lord

And 500 bhp err and the rest mate
This car is very fast

 

Love it

 

Very nice car , spec is great

 

Thanks lads - Yea Jay wasn't to keen on getting rid of it. Been texting him all today about it aswell.

Its got a Cossy T5 2wd box in it.

Theres now about 3 inchs of snow outside i was wanting to head out again in it but i think i will leave her in the garage.

The car is mint just needs a little bit of tlc nothing major tho I'm just fussy.

Thanks for all the comments.

 

a very nice car.

bigger brakes need bigger wheels too, more money getting spent

 

Nice motor I has my eye on this but had an offer accepted on a house. Hope you have fun with it.

 

You got a good car there mate, I know Jay and have been out in this car, loved it, I own an escos myself and after going out in this made me want more power, hes a fool for getting rid but hope you enjoy and look after it. Bet its a bit different to the Yellow m3 you had?

 

Thats lovely that.The modern cars are nice but there is no other feeling like you get when driving a cossie.

Well done for using it.Its a car at the end of the day thats what they were made for.

 

Lovely tht mate, escort cos is my next car. Love them

 

very nice

 

Is that Jay's old one ? looks really nice

 

Looks a really nice car you got there!

 

Correctamondo

Such a dick for selling that

 

I would love one too.

 

Well lads had her at work today and everyone was obsessed with it. Even my managers.

Also one of the lads (i only started there last week) ons a WRC Escort Cosworth Rally car so he is a guru.

Also uses A1 Rally Sport for his bits and speaks very highly of them.

Had it at the bodyshop who has done my painting for years to get the fuel cap looked at. they confirmed its NOT rot just a few rust bubbles and will be doing it for me when i get it booked in

 

Lovely that is!!

I would agree that it needs bigger brakes though at that power!!

 

she's a beauty!

what wheels you going for if upgrading the brakes?

your car would look mint on these rims

 

Very nice. Get yourself registered on www.escortrscosworth.com

 

Looks awesome

Thanks lads.

Those wheels are porn. Just trying to get used to driving an old car again. Its hard.

I am used to SMG M3s

AJ it wouldn't let me register it said I was a spam user.

And DAAAAM the car doesn't half get attention. From older folk mainly.
I was filling up this morning and a old guy came over and was asking me loads about it saying it brings him back seeing one of them cars.
He couldn't beleive the condition its in and was saying he has the original press release for them ect.

 

get used to that, always happens when filling up

 

Strange. Good to hear your enjoying ownership. I have the above wheels on mine.

 

Do you use yours daily?

Any pics?

 

thats very very nice

 

Its on pistonheads for £1 ?
