Looks sweet mate, which my old escort looked as good as that!

Will be mega with a turbo in there

What happened to the bucket seat you had in there?

What are the spec 2's like in the wet? i have been thinking about getting these but they say they are shit in the wet and wear down like f**k, what are you views on them?

cheers fella, i know the zetec route would be better, but id get carried away with it, and the gearbox, i dont want to change, staying with the rst box with a big bearing conversion so 250h/trq should keep it on its toes!

bucket seat i hated, liked the look but i used to go all over the place, ipswitch regular, up to croft

and after 40mins my arse and sides were killing so binned it off


spec 2's,

good in the dry, and in the wet, i dont drive mental in the wet but from what i have done, they are average, i wouldnt go mad on them though,

mine are lasting ok at the min, i dont go mad but it gets a hard time now and then and yeah, not bad
