Amazing Mike


Do you not run a front number plate, or just take it off when you get to shows!?

Yip ring was pretty exciting in it - running over the splitter at full chat through the kitty litter was an eye opener LOL

Mike nice car.

Could you please explain more about the Swedish Gear kit, as it looks like they not straight cut gears? I’m thinking of strengthening my gearbox and am looking at options. (And seeing that I’m writing this from a hotel in Sweden at present. The joys of business travel.)

Cheers
John

John,
The gears are much larger than standard and are semi-straight cut. Capable of taking extremely big power, but still retaining the syncromesh, so nice to drive on the road (just the same old slow change).

Smidsy,
Firstly, any car following won't see, any car going the other way, is going the other way, so by the time they turn around I would be LONG gone.

However, I have been "collared" once when I was parked up, and the police car spotted it, went all the way round the one way system and came back and had words. I had the number plate in the car (as I always do) and just said it fell off in the the car wash and that I hadn't got round to getting some more sticky pads for it yet.

The only problem would be getting caught by the same person twice .

It is, quite simply, the BEST road going Escort Cosworth in the country.

Didn't think you could top the Sapphire, but dare I say it, this car is more complete?

Simply awesome.

It's a shame you can't get a cage to hide in the trim (like the road going RS200s) as all these trackdays will be taking their toll on that shell!!

Still, an awesome car Mike, flies round the ring
