THE FINAL RESULT:
First I had a boss welded on my exhaust to be able to keep track of the AFR mixture and to abort the run if ANYTHING should go the wrong way.
Everything was perfect according to the dyno owner as my car was ever so slightly rich over the entire rev range and this with about 2bar peak boost pressure.
Anyway:
342bhp at 5818rpm
518Nm at 3778rpm

Escort is finished for it's run to a meeting in Hoch-Ybrig (Switserland).
Changed the brake fluid with Castrol SRF and installed my Apex'i boost gauge in one of Mike R's custom 60mm A-pillar pod.

Quickly visited a very good friend of mine to try and repair the damage a bit without the need to buy a new front bumper.
There seems to be no structural damage to the car.

Put the OZ mags on the car again with some Michelin Pilot Sport 2 tires.
These pictures have made me realise that my 8 OZ mags will be powdercoated in white.

It had to happen to me again.
Took the Cossie out that day because of the beautifull weather and it being stood there for a couple of weeks.
Tyre pressure was still good but the little animal needed some go-go juice.
I leave the petrol station and at the next intersection I want to turn right on a 2x2 road to give it some beans.
The car in front of me all of sudden slams the brakes because a cyclist is coming onto the intersection from the wrong way.
I saw this too late and BAM --> once again, a bumped Escos.
And this time even more damage then with National Day. :bigcry: :bigcry:

Luckily I didn't fix the Cossie with my newly bought bonnet so I still have that but I'm on the market again for a front bumper.
Cheap as possible as I've got to pay for everything myself.
