lots of BHP msl: if he hits what his looking for I'll be amazed!! The wheels are huge, I was shocked when I first smacked eyes on them! Very nice though, quality looking

Good to see another Jap-powered MK6 Escort of some kind!

Would be uncanny is that colour is Bayside, although I don't think it is, not easy to tell from pics though, especially in a garage

I'm not really sold that it makes any real difference at our level if the discs are one way or the other. Smart motor.

its not mine i must confess although i must admit im not sure if id want it to be as its gonna be a real handful in the wet or dry

power wise im sure he is aiming for stupid figures of 500+ but i have no idea of the exact spec etc,

discs were just put on for pics so will be swapped round im sure, and all work on the van i.e engine mounting/fabrication and tubular rear diff cradle etc was done by him in his garage, he is quite handy at this sort of thing,

some of you may know his cossie e36 bmw that was on the pf stand at ford fair a few years ago or his old rear engined rwd fiat cincecueqo thingy, fook knows how you spell it lol

im not too sure mate as he is a bit of a fussy fucker so will take his time lol but i reckon in the next few months it will be out and about,

it runs 315 wide rubber on the rear so should get some decent grip as well
