Does come with a Motec M800 ECU which is a clever bit of kit. Carbon front splitter too.

Decent brakes too - Alcons on the front rather than OE Brembos, bloody pricey brake discs if you ever need them

The Vortex generator on the roof is standard on the 400s too.

Simple remap and decent induction kit and you can get them right up to 450 bhp, which is proper quick.

Of course all that might well be irrelavant if it's not a 400

Very nice Jon Any plans for it track wise? Or road use only?

Thought I recognised the car off MLR, really nice looking car.

I think the prev owner was asking about Focus RS's so looks like he may well be on here soon (if he isn't already)

Nice one, you got to buy any bits for the escort or have you got all the bits to put it back to STD,have to agree with you on EVO`S i really fancy a 5 or 6 but i need some more space and i would have to sell the esc and then buy a cheaper Ford as i couldn`t be without one would love an evo as a track car.Also just bought some crystal morettes and some Rondells for it should look good with them on.
