Now someone correct me if I'm wrong, but that powerflow looks as though it may be RS turbo? it doesnt match the profile of the one on the left either? hope i am wrong or you will be disappointed.

Your wrong, the one on the left is standard RS2K s/s system that's why it is different.

It was removed from a 2WD van pal, the van is now runing 4WD system and 2.3 on throttle bodies runing 200+BHP.

Cheers bud, I am realy happy with how the rear is sitting now but I may have the front dropped a little more.

I'll have a look once the bib is fitted on.

This is how I like the front of escorts to be -

That's my old RS from years back now.

Was on Super T's, I'll put some of them on the van when I can find a decent set but for now I have two sets of Monza's for the van, those ones in gold and another black set.

You' one of them posh lads that gets everything done for um? Installation? fit it yaself

I've got a road trip to County Durham on the 3rd March to collect my F/G boots up and then couple of weeks later another road trip to Kent for some final engine bit's.

Then my engine will be in in March and hopefully will have new Omex by then also.

My rear beam should be on in March also mate, lots to do!

Was round my mate Tims place yesterday and he kindly made me some new copper brake pipes up for my rear callipers as old ones are dead, was going to fit um today after collecting my sons mini but carried away and fitted these insted lol




I've had to fit pins as when the turbo manifold goes in I'll be cutting away part of the slam pannel to aid in it's location.
More soon.
