Default New To The Escort :) Back to my Fords.

This is my new escort, was running 200bhp before I bought it and i have dyno readout to prove it. Just needs a couple things to be running that kinda power again. I.e uprated turbo actuator and remap.
And I'm not that keen on the wheels, could do with a nice set of ford RS7's
The shell on the car is mint, almost no rust. Just a few dings here and there, but its a 20 year old car....
I apologise for the bad pics, I'll take some better ones soon.





Hope you like.

The car isnt as fast as I'd like it atm, but its only running 10psi of boost, ran 200bhp @17psi. But I cant get the boost any higher on this actuator.
Also needs a speedo cable so I dont really want it to be too fast yet haha.

I've been a VW boy for a while, so might even add a bit dub flavour to it
I.e. some banded steelies.

My other car is a 52 plate passat dropped 120mm running 60mm spacers lol;

Escort looks good but far too low.

I would jack her up and put some steel rims on there with them old skool white hubcaps lol.

Turn it into a sleeper.
