So... a small update about last year...
We decided to sell the red one and it has found a good home so I'm very happy with that
Black one has got some small updates though:
- replacement downpipe
- cat replacement (already had the cat back Magnex on)
- GGR uprated springs
- PU front bushes
- new SS radiator tube
- new original headertank
- new fuelpump
- reconditioned cam cover (not happy with the finish so that will need to be redone)
- new original power steering tank
- -31 actuator
- MSD Stage 1 chip
- 8x18 ET20 OZ Superturismo wheels
- 225/35/18 Michelin Pilot Sport PS2
- Défi oil temp, fuel pressure, boost gauges (not installed yet)
Still think it sits to high at the front so a set of Koni's and Ahmed springs will have to be ordered
And I don't think it feels like a Stage 1 at all 
Hurray for Cosworth ownership
Some pics...
I'm really thinking about storing it for a year or so after our trip to Ford Fair

I know the feeling...Mine was +- 300Bhp but also felt not fast. That's why I've sold it and I'm now rebuilding a T35 Escort on grey's etc
I agree that It's a bit to high. I have Koni's (with Koni spring's) and mine is also to high
Storing is a good idea....those examples of Escort's should be stored an kept original
Buy a "cheap" Saff 4x4 and build it with app. 400bhp, that's enough fun
Btw. When do you want to come over for the Focus headlight

@all: Thanks 
@Mr. Ford:
18/04/2009 for the focus headlight?
Oh... and a pic of our "new" daily as I saw your new daily on FW
(missing the foglight covers @ the front because there were being cleaned (what else))
2.2TDCi Titanium X
Drives better than the EsCos
