Yep, just needs an engine rebuild and gearbox..lol
Dont know yet. I have a new job and may be able to get a company car which will allow me to get the escort on the road once I have sorted my finances out
A Ford ranger drove head on into me when I was stopped on my side of the road.
As it was so tall it rode over the bumper and has wrapped the radiator, bonnet and ecu around the crushed engine. LOL
About 8 grands worth of damage. Thank god for insurance and GAP
EDIT: Sorry for hi-jacking thread.

Drove several ST's with DS, Bluefin etc.
They all make a real positive difference within minutes, makes you realise how frugal Ford were when they released it with just over 220bhp.

On a steady run though apparantely, they are supposed to give a couple of extra mpg, will wait and see!
Makes a fucking great backfire out the exhaust too when you lift off in 2nd gear, which I found out just now

I had a dreamscience unit when I had my ST, used the generic map DSCI, best thing ever, infact it was the best single mod done to any car I have ever owned.
Combine that with a decent airfilter and get rid of standard airbox and u will notice another big difference and will give you a very nice responsive and fairly quick ST.

Also, after the initial difference your car will also adjust itself to you, the STs run a KAM sensor which means it sort of learns the way you drive and optimises everything to suit you. So after you have done a full tank or so in the car it will have adjust itself.
DSCI is a all round map which gives you only slightly less torque midrange and I really mean slightly, but it holds boost much higher up the revs and i found it better suited to me.
Sts really suffer from heat soak, and majorly restricted air intake and downpipe, change those to a fmic, induction kit with cold air intake and a 3 inch downpipe with either a sports cat or decat and it will be a very quick road car.
I loved every second of my ST and im gutted I sold it, your making me jealous lol.

I did yes, Race+ is the most aggressive mid range map they have, but the boost tails off quick after 5000rpm.

A mate of mine's ST has got DS, a fmic and an exhaust system, that's a quick bit of kit! Would be interesting in seeing how it compares to mine side by side!

Deffinetly mate, friend of mine had a mapped E46 M3 and side by side from 30 I would show him a good 8-10 car lengths up untill 130 odd when he would start to claw back, but 9 times out of 10 the race was over well before then. Top end they dont do much more than a genuine 155mph, but 30-130 is lightning.

I used to have a dreamscience on mine and I ran the DSCI map and that gave 260bhp and 360lbft with a panel filter, ecu spacer and decat. They never ever make the bhp figures that dreamscience quote but the torque is fantastic My MPG was no different to standard
Watch out for your clutch on race+ though, there was a batch of cars around about your age that suffer with clutch issues when "mapped", read more about it on the focusstoc.com

My car was running uprated fmic, downpipe, decat, code red induction kit with the cold air feed and the remap, supposedly good for 280-290 bhp and around 360-365 lbs of torque with that lot.
Not here to bullshit mate, in gear they are very good, together with the torque, short gearing 30-130 the only thing I raced that beat me was my mates saff, that was around 360bhp or so.

Perfect capable car mate, as long as you dont mind a juicy car, short journeys and town driving returned me about 22-24 mpgs driving gently. Longer runs I regularly saw 32-34 mpgs.
Other than that which I didnt mind I loved it.

Dan,
My cars have got fuck all to do with you in any way and I have no reason to lie or need to explain myself to you.
I have offered to sort out our issues but you have stated you wont accept my messages on another thread on PF and I wont discuss them in public so its stalemate for now.

The money fooks me off but what is worse the the bullshit lies you spout....
You have no intention of paying that money back...if you did, you simply would, end of.
It's not a large amount of cash, you could get it easy and then Big lee gets some for his fund and the rest goes to another charity......but no you won't and your sling me some more bullshit....again proved by the statement above. There is no stalemate, I'm waiting for your PM you said you would send me with your idea to sort it out.....
