well, I've been a member for quite some time now, but have only really posted in fits and starts and I was mainly a member of another site, which I was very active on, but that appears to be overrun by chavs and arseholes now, so looks like you'll be seeing a lot more of me from now on

Love this site anyway, soooooo many quality motors, keep up the good work lads and lasses

 

 

would the other site be www.feoc.co.uk?

 

pmsl, yes it would if u like taking the "back entrance"

 

Mike

 

Oh god no! It's one of the chav arseholes I came on here to avoid

only joking

 

You slut

 

theres only one mod on here that likes taking the "back entrance" and it isnt me

 

depends on who you intend on entering

 

Did'nt Kev used to own that Red one ?

I am sure he used to come on here with his rst

mike

 

wher is gracie

 

yes he did. It's mine now

 

What the rst or red escort ?

Mike

 

The red one



not sure who has the RST now. Was sold to Rob84 off here, then dunno who he sold it to. Not sure if it was someone from any club

 

So Kev moved it on ? what are you doing to the Escort ? looks abit serious


mike

 

yeah, Kev sold that to me, bought the 2.1 RST, sold that, bought an Esc Cos, sold that, bought a BMW E46 320ci and is now selling that

Escort is currently getting a Maxi F2 wide arch kit and roof scoop and other bits of bodywork

then it's off for serious brake and suspension work, carbon fibre bonnet, additions to make the cage a bit better function-wise

then a 4x4 Cossie floorpan and at least stage 3 YB transplant

 

So hes been through a few cars then lol

mike

 

yeah he's selling his BMW cos he's getting a place of his own. He posted a thread on here about it the other day. Think he's sold it to his parents or some kinda arrangement so he can still use it for special occasions, lol and he now has their old Escort GTi, which I think he plans on using until he's settled next year some time and then he'll most likely get an M3 or something

so yeah, he seems to have got thru a lot of cars in a short space of time, ll

 

Mike get your arse back now we cant do it on our own

 

welcome over mike

 

wow, there's more familiar faces on here than I thought

 

yeah, most of us before you

leaving is one thing Mike, but this???

 

will come in handy if I ever need "showing the ropes" then

 

Can you get more pics of your car in the resto thread ,would like to see more of it

 

 

good luck with yer new beginnings Mike

 

hello

Alex

 

[quote="Twins"]Can you get more pics of your car in the resto thread ,would like to see more of it[/

was considering posting it the other day, but not got too many pics atm. Will be getting more very soon then i'll get a nice thread going

oh and it's looking just like home from home here

 

so your here for good eh mike think youll be posting in the muppet room a lot

 

what are u incinuating there, lol?

i've hardly posted in there, lol. Just cos there's soooooooo much, i cant get into it

I was always gonna be about on here, just not so much cos of my ties elsewhere, lol

 

I like the MaxiF2 Kiy proper nice... but i dont u nderstand why you want to fit a cosse floorpan and engine??? Ideally if you really wanted to do this, it should be done at the same time as the kit....


IMO you would be better off spending your money on a nice duratec/zetec turbo conversion, 400 ponies much quicker than a stg III 4x4 Cos

 

but the YB switch is more cost effective, and simpler to hand over to someone with a donor vehicle and get them to do

Ultimately, I plan to switch to something else for it eventually. Maybe a non-ford engine

 

Have you properly researched it?? I wont be a simple unstich restich job... Different wheelbase, different track, different bulkhead, inner wings, front panel, etc etc... complete floorpan of a ECos is different to that of a normmal MK5

 

well the Esc Cos is basically a 4x4 Saff underneath isnt it? not an Escort

I just know A1 Rally Sport can do the conversion for a set price + donor car

 

so this is your new home then is it mike?

i'll give it a week max, b4 your back on "the other site"

 

was back last night

just had a little "dispute" to settle and it went surprisingly well

still, I'm not going anywhere from here either

 

Yeah A shorter wheelbase saff

How much does Steve quote then?

 

£6500 + obviously a suitable donor car

 

thats a lot of cash that!

 

Be better off either buying a ECos on the hit list, an ex rally car ECos then getting it road trimmed..Or a 400 brake Zetec for yours IMO
