jonnyrsturbo

nice!

McGoo 69

plans for it are

RS2000 skirts, rear bumper + splats, cosowrth splitter and hocky sticks
40mm drop
escos rims
and a recaro interior.

going to do some engine work but not decided weather to stage 3 what i have or do a cvh turbo, but i dont want to do too much as i have my mk5 escort to complete

Munch

Never been a real fan of the MK6 escort at all to be honest, but i think you made a right choice by ditching those rear lights lol

if you want some power out of it, why not do an I4 conversion?

I think an EsCos style front splinter looks great on a mk6 bumper

Could of sold you a MK5 Escort cabbie the other week with an I4 engine init cheap lol

McGoo 69

Not been on here in a while so i thought id just update my progress

New bits

Fitted a mohair roof as some scrote slashed mine
Escort Cosworth Alloys on streched tyres
Seirra Cosworth Leather Recaro fronts and matching rear leathers

next im fitting a rs2000 kit if i can find some skirts what fit the cabriolets better than the genuine ford ones

scottyford

looks good.not a fan of lexus lights myself.anymor updates on your escort st project.got a st engine myself dunno wether to get rid or do the conversion

Less.

Liking that be cool with RS side skirts

ROBnoTOP

I love it !!

I like the EsCos rims and the leather interior...

Not a fan of lexus lights this is much better...

What brand is your exhaust? Scorpion?

McGoo 69

this is the other escort https://passionford.com/forum/sin-bin/203818-fast-ford-featured-escos-replica-carbon-clad-track-car-pic-update-page6-25-8-11-a.html

i got rid in favour of a focus rs lump as the conversion will be easier and more popwer will be easier to get hold of

McGoo 69

that is what mine will look like when done, thats the kit i have but ive not got round to painting it yet, i might go for a cosworth splitter insted though

dont worry the lexarse lights were the first to go, i had to hang my head in shame on the drive home after i bought it lol

ROBnoTOP

But what brand is your exhaust? Scorpion?

I would like to now, mate...

rostill2007

would ove a mk5 cab whats the smallest engine you can get in them car looks better with out them lexus lights

.Pete.

Cab looks smart. I've got some RS2000 skirts for sale at the minute. I've got some on mine and I think they look OK.

sorry mate the exhaust is a powerflow cat back, came with the car. it sounds well not too lound and makes a nice burble when you drop a gear etc

over christmas it should have new cams, bike throttle boddies and a 4branch manifold to make it a bit more nippy and then shes done

rostill, when i read about the car in auto trader it was advertised as a mk5 but it was only when i got to veiw it i knew it wasnt, but due to the condition and price i bought it regardless

Which cams are you going to use?
And do you use vernier pulleys on them?
What will be the power when it's all done?

Are TB not to loud to use on a Cabby, mate..

cheers for the comments guys

might be yeh i can always try to change the exhuast etc to quite it down will have to see.

Its pritty slow its only a 1.8 105bhp so due to the weight its like a slug..

dont wanna spend to much on it as its only a run about but it needs more poke.

McGoo 69

they have to wind them back haha! small price to pay for the comfort, the tilt knobs are facing the gearstick as i switched the seats around which means i can tilt the seat quickly. its not the best nut 10x better than the std interior its a small price to pay imo i love them!

McGoo 69

thanks mate, its gettign there i tend to keep my cars looking as factory as possible using ford parts

im happy with it
