Thought I’d share my latest toy, my plan was to build a wrc look escort cosworth after my 500 was done but this came along and couldn’t resist.

 

shes a beauty mate

 

Its been a track car for a long time but pretty tidy mate and big spec so perfect for a bit of sideways track action. 😊😊

 

that looks very tidy and well put together

 

That looks like fun. You have some hard choices to make, witch toy to choose today...

 

I have always been a huge fan of the Escort WRC. I think the front bumper looks much cooler than the standard Escos one! Have fun with it!

 

I like that a lot. I prefer a standard Escos but for track this would be perfect. Is it RWD?

 

Very nice mate

 

Nice mate, looks like fun

 

When’s the forsale add rich only messing looks great

 

haha well I’ve still not managed to get the 500 on the track yet and I’ve had enough of waiting now hence the escort lol.

 

Oh yes and 550bhp 😳😳

 

😂😂 there getting few and far between now mate so I need to think twice before I sell these days. I have no plans to sell this one 😂

 

Nice car mate but that ain't a wrc escort , maybe group a or n with a wrc kit on it.
no rear turrets and no rear cradle by the looks of it .

still I bet it's a blast to drive with 550 bhp

cheers paul

 

Cracking car. Any plans? Are they a set of speedlines nestling underneath it? I’ve been looking for a set for a while

 

Sorry I will amend the heading to Escort cosworth track car with wrc front bumper and rear spoiler 🙄

 

Hello mate thanks for the comments and yes they are a set of speed line corsas 18” with group a inserts and yes there for sale. Pm me.

 

pm sent

 

Very cool matey.

 

very sideway then! I like it even more now.

 

Its fooking dangerous 😂😂 first job is a boost controller.

 

your right foot is your boost controller rich

 

That’s the problem 🤣🤣

 

just need to take the work boots off mate

 

Rich, What gearbox is fitted? Is it a low ratio set up at present for rallying? Light car, rear wheel drive and 550bhp will make it a car that will keep you on your toes!!!

 

Haha 😂😂

 

Its a T5 with bara big tooth internals but not sure on ratios to be honest. I know it’s noisy 😂

 

That looks great and plenty of power 👌
is it similar to a touring car spec on a T4 ?

 

It’s a Harvey Gibbs built and mapped YB

 

​​​​​​Perfect combo 👍

 

That's lovely, what's the full spec?

Double post sorry

 

I saw this thing today. Jealous is an understatement, what a lovely car. Looks rock hard.

nice to meet you too Rich. Thanks for the wheels!

 

What tyres are on it ? R888s make a huge difference I always find on a road car 👍

 

you should have offered him a few quid for it jon ,as you and I know it will be sold before long

 

I did joke it would be sold by Friday. Probably to an Irish man!!

 

haha

i will wait till he does a few 360,s down the road and make him a offer jon
