Default My Escort track project

Started out life as a 1987 1.4L


Stripped every last nut and bolt off


After a year of building most weekends it now looks like this inside!!!

This was taken at National Day at Donnington last August

Thanks for the positive comments lads.
@Dave cos 4x4...the engine is from my old RS Turbo,hybred turbo,285T cam,Magnex stainless exhaust,old small Pace intercooler (yes I know its cr*p!!!! ) and running 16psi boost.

@Nuts RS...seen this on many oval Hot Rod cars and thought it was a good clean place for them,plus its easy to see if the fluid level drops.

@Black RS ...the gearbox is standard mate,just have a AP clutch.I like youre big intercooler in the picture,will be the next item for my car.

Mercury Magic s2 heres some more pictures,hope they help you out...







Note the touch of opposite lock in the last photo!!!!!

Hi Mercury Magic S2,the dash still use's the origional mounting points and origional bolts.No real great radical stuff involved on the car,just good simple engineering on a fairly limited budget compared to many S2's on this site.I just used experience gained in 8 years of track days to build what I thought would work well and more importantly would be cheap!!!! Thanks to all who posted positive comments and hope to see you all at next year's National Day.Regards Micky
