I had the luck
to do what I called the perfect Escort and get paid for it 
last year,cost about 20k
500hp 483ftlb
Quafie box/diffs/rear beam/Leda's,Autronic/Aim dash/custom intercooler/rad, So many other parts I cant remember them all
,
But it was a proper Tool and would be what I would do to a escort to make it what I would call the best set up out there for me
.

I personally would love 10 more rwd cars trying to be competative, but there aint cos its hard & cost mega bucks, 50/70k min in an Escort to challenge Martin. You wont do 200mph for much less either.
If being competative is what you want maybe go back to where you were, then again no doubts Sunny will make that a lost cause in a few months time.
