... .

My contempt for this type of person is well publicised, so it amazes me how many bufties actually like to buy stuff off me and then wind me up by sending photos of their "bufty-ness" .

Here is the latest offering from one of my Irish customers, fully carboned up and some super-duper brakes (top of the range Performance Friction 380mm floating discs with Hi-spec Mega-Monster six-pots (cool brakes, shit name ).

The filter is winging its way to him as we speak, as he has a show and shine to go to on Sunday .









He could have at least draped the "bint" naked over the bonnet for us perves .

Jakub,
Ask him about his stereo install, on second thoughts don't, as it may offend you as much as it does me .

It offends Ford Rallye Sport and Cosworth Racing engineers much more then you and me. But this is not the worsst I have seen. There are worse around the world :-(

I still prefer this kind of attitiude to Escort Cossie then this:

There schould be some special exam for people wanting to buy homologation speicals and true sporta cars, dunno, driving Nordschlife under 8 minutes or something. Because what some people do to cars instead of driving them amazes me :-( I hope the owner can drive it at least little bit more then STI owners that lost more then 10 seconds to me every kilometer of stage two weeks ago.

Nath,
I was just checking the tyre pressures (the fact that the valve is down the bottom has nothing to do with it ).

jacob there is other things in life you know other than rallying the shit out of your car you know. put it this way if you were sitting in my car the other day that blonde chic that was chatting up your co pilot would have been over the driver side anyway thats not what i built it as you can see i have a blonde chic i like to be different. As for my sounds, like my good buddy justin say's they are top notch genisis amps and focal speakers- but i havn't got round to doing the install yet as i am building a house and getting married in six weeks!

Ive never liked EscCossies much, or bling flashy stuff, and I dont know if its cause I work for Redline now (It blatantly is though, even the ideas for my own car has changed now ), but i fucking LOVE that car

Proper awesome, looks a million dollars, far more modern and class than a usual Escort Cossie

What spoiler Michelle? I have a standard R34GTR one on mine. If you mean the GT wing, I never did like it once I tried it on, everyone else does tho.

OTT Brakes and whopping great wheels are now top of my list tho

Hopefully get custom made 380mm HiSpecs like the EscCos in this thread as an off the shelf kit for the GTR will cost about 200billion quid, possibly.

Will 380mm brakes fit under 10x18 MOs?

You know - if you want blondies wet their pant you can buy much more cost efficient cars then Escort Cossie. I don't think everybody must rally shit out of their cars. There is much fun in having nice Escort Cossie road car, or Impreza or Mazda GT-R or any other homologation special. But for God's sake not chrome wheels and ghetto blaster audio inside. In Poland you buy BMW for those things, in UK standard is higher so maybe some american car or I don't know but not rare car like homologation specials. Still you didn't do anything horrible to it. Looks quite nice apart from the wheels. I hope you learn at some point it more fun to drive it then to look at it.

Steve,
The fact that you even considered it for your car says it all to me .

Depends on the offset required for a Skylark, but the new style ones don't have as much room and 9x18s definitely DON'T, as Marty brought a set to Bedford to see if the offset was right and actually had to remove my calliper to get them on for the photos he took. He "thought" he could get the clearance with some different bells, so would require the wheel being sent to Hi-spec to ensure fitment (which is what I did with the Racing Hart wheels).
