Default Blue NMS powered Mk2 Escort. GT30/500bhp from central day???

Does he come on here???? Never seen such a class launch....Respect

Nearly PROPER binned it off the line.....reckon his ass nipped up a bit

Bloke was an animal, had a chat to him and he even snapped the gear level in 2 changing from 1st to 2nd.

Absolutely class

O and he done a 10.7 aswell

sounds like a similar scenario to what happens when you let people use your car as a pool car

The kid built it himself from memory

He's a mecanic or somet from talking to him round at Karls and its just his project type thing his boss lets him work on when he aint doing other stuff

Manifold is a 2wd with bits welded on and the engine is pretty much standard I think.

Very very nice lad, was quite worried it wasn't worth the hassle putting the GT blower on, I was well pleased for him when I saw him at Central day as all his hard work payed off.

AWESOME CAR running 10.9's on really skinny little 13" tyres

T5's do last well if the cars got grip, its the vibrations cause from wheelspin that breaks then I think, I never had a prob on mine and I know Mick Roger's ran a number of 10.5's on a stock T5, also rememeber Davi's escort is a little lighter than the average saph or 3door. Anyway its great to see how davi's car has developed since it first came out in the SRS series.
