thats just a 1.3 escort mate clutch slip is when you put your foot down and the revs rise but not in accordance to the speed increase.


put some pics up id love to see your new 'ride'

Default ESCORT take a quick look




Mint engine 77,000 miler but with a dodgey clutch
Rocker cover will be painted red or blue soon

Surface rust only


YUK horrible 155-80-13's, gotta go
The arch honestly is only surface rust NO FILLER NEEDED any where on the car


Too quiet with that silencer but it still has the Cat on though


cut the silencer out and welded in a bit of straight pipe and im getting a Magnex letter box style back box tomorrow hopefully.


Rs2000 wheels, and collecting a pair of Gti side skirts at the same time as when i get the back box.
took them wheels off the fiesta and sold it with the standard steelies


old standard interior


old


Bought this Escort Gti half leather front and rear seats yesterday for Ł75

Your attitude and inept mechanical skills are terrifying, as already said before I am scared to think I share the roads with you and you deathtrap cars.

Please stop "modding" and just make them safe before you kill yourself/someone else, seriously mate you are just plain dangerous.

My aim is not to have a go but to try make you realise what your doing.

Just read this from the top and am amazed at how thick some people are lol

Thats not just surface rust on the escorts rear arches by the way??

Instead of "modding" shit cars....

Spend money on passing your driving test

Also on reflection I'm sure you are actually taking the piss???

they all look chavvy! the rover especially, although it did look tidy.
just focus on the mechanical aspect of this escort tho! u said it doesn't run right, FIX THAT, then put stupid sun strips and halfords alloys that emphasize the standard ride height.

The sockets are safe as houses, ye they may squeek a little after a while but nout that a bit of 3 in 1 oil wont sort. Any way its the scooter's mot in a few weeks so will have to be sorted.

There has been nothing bought from Halfords at all for the cars

Default New Pics of Escort


Got a pair of Gti side skirts and the rear bumper spats today for only Ł20, bargain ehh.
They are not fitted yet i just offered them up to see what they looked like.
To fit them i think u drill hole then use self tappers is this correct, please tell me if its not. Thanks
Where can i some plastic cover arches from ?


Perfect fit


Got thisfrom the same guy who i got the skirts off but not gonna use it as it makes the car pretty quiet which is what i dont want, needs to be roaring butthis is the secondbackbox ive bought now and its just not woring so not gonna bother putting a back box on, it just has the cat and thats it.and sound pretty good and its not overly loud and the engine revs is more responsive,dont know if this has anything to do with removing the middle silencer.


Its a shame not to use this as it looks awesome. May cut off the letter box tip and weld it on but dunno yet

When you succumb to the exhaust fumes leaking into the car from the shit exhaust bodges - you will awake in A&E and realise that you have absolutely no idea about how to work on a car safely - never mind modify one competently. Hopefully you won't injure anyone else in your Barry Bodging accidents.

Get yourself to night school - get some training, stop messing around with cars and use your passion properly.

And more seriously FFS - stop driving cars without a licence - you have freely admitted you have not got one, but then describe test rides in your various buckets - not cool...

How can it all be going well when everything you own is unroadworthy?

As a lot of others on this thread have already said to you, you would be far better off actually repairing the faults with the vehicle that already exist than just nailing on stuff that should really be on the bottom of the list and also concentrate on passing your test.

You have to get your priorities right mate.
