THE 3DOORS GETTING ANOTHER 500+ BHP ENGINE!
i wheeled the old bus out of the garage today and gave it a wash and it got me thinking about how much fun it was with the old 500 engine in it (its got a standard engine in it just now 
) on standard rims and 205 tyres 
and i realised that i miss the surprise the R1 riders get as an 18 year old standard looking sierra breaks traction at over 100mph as it starts to pull away from them 
so i had a rummage round at the bits in the workshop and i have much of the stuff needed already..
spec will be.....
low comp bottom end (in stock
)
touring car spec head(as above)
T4 (obviously)
(as above)
BD10 cams (as above)
eek4 plenum and throttle body
(as above)
L8 ecu (bought one on e bay 2 hrs ago )
4x 750cc injectors (need ot buy these
)
1xbosch 044 pump as this provides enough fuel for well over 500bhp running a -8 line
500 intercooler again i need to buy this
breater system...need to buy this asweel
air injectors...bought a set off spadge 2 days ago
standard brakes and almost standard suspension
thats all i can think of just now
i,ll post up a couple of pics tomorrow as its minter than a minty thing

So Kev, let's get this straight.
You've got your 1/4 mile Escort, another Escort that you've put that mad cage in, AND the original 3dr as well..........................?
............... and is that a Crapi at the back of the garage?
