bought this last week as my runaround.

it was standard






added my mega rare 15" ronal turbo wheels and had a stainless exhaust made





added a hid xenon kit



then today i had it lowerd -60mm and gave it a clean









what do you think so far

RSOrion

TBH not sure those wheels suit it. Very nice car and very nice wheels but the 2 don't seem to go together for me.

lazy_arse_pie

RSOrion

think the wheels look ok but could do with bigger tyres to give better look otherwise

rsdan

its good to be different mate

NICK321RS

I can't make my mind up about this so far. I think there's lot of potential in it though, maybe it needs some smoothing for that euro look, and does it need to go even lower?

alemac1

i know it sounds stupid, but what about losing the skirts and spats. kinda softening the cars look (and taking away its identitiy) to make the wheels look more at home. personally i love it though. and maybe drop it more

looks very nice mate in some pics but then some others the wheels look far to small.

will be buying an escort gti soon as a daily runner what they like fuel wise etc and anything to watch out for?

richj

Needs to go a little bit lower imo

But it's nice & different

saphlover

Looks nice but dont like them wheels.

Dicko&Sarah my mates selling an Escort GTI 98 R reg 56k from new and 2 owners for Ł1700 if your interested?

KnoxyGtt

if u could lower it more and get thos wheels sitting right into the arches it would look like some kind on hotrod

davyb

I cant beleive how you can say that Gary!

Them wheels MAKE the car!

3i_gaz

looks sweet as fuck, as said the wheels make the car. better than the usual mondeo Si's or cossie rims.

foooooking sweet jeff

Csm

take it u won the bet putting those wheels on

P33VVE

Thats ruuuuuude!

lazy_arse_pie

cheers for the comments people look out for it at this years shows

it carnt go any lower

lazy_arse_pie

the ok on petrol , i beleve they go through lower arms quite often so look out for wear on those other than that there decent little runners if you find a unabused one

Turbo Pez

looks good mate, not to sure on the wheels tho, but if u like them then

I got a mk6 si as a runaround, same car, same engine, without the interior and skirts, these things go on forever, petrol's pretty good as long as you drive it below 4k, eats it after that! Lower arms(wishbones) are crap and go all the time only real problem with mine!! Go even more when lowered aswell , i've had mine 2years, done 30k and had no real probs, new clutch at 80k, and a exhaust a 60k, but was the orginal on it! Good cars suprize's a few people to, i love mine!

BM08

Before it was lowered it looked silly but now its lowered it looks alot better and i actually like the wheels, perhaps a little small for the mk6 escort but as said its different, ive never seen them on a GTi

And talking generally about the reliability, ive had my GTi for about 2 years and i use it every day, starts first time no matter what the weather, only things ive had done is normal stuff like brake pads, brake pipes, discs, and recently a new indicator stalk(which cost peanuts) and thats it, never put anything in the engine apart from some water for the washer bottle, it never needs oil/brake fluid/power steering fluid/ water

Only time it uses petrol is when i do long journeys really, other than that it doesnt drink much at all

lazy_arse_pie

cheers mate

Fastas

Nice like the wheels certainly different

Fiesta Ben

Looks much better now its been lowered

Looks sweet

Dan

Indeed they are, there's not much cooler than Ronal Turbo's!

Looks great mate, needs lowering abit more and some better pics!
