Default low budget FWD 12 second Escort

Hello I'd like to show you my joy and pride
I have built it with my own hands almost without any performance parts apart from MH slicks, AP 4 paddle clutch and piper valve springs.

tell me what you think

My signature answeres most of your questions
Yes it is full Zetec managed by MS (megasquirt)
Yes on standard BC box with standard LSD, I'm lucky we do not have such a sticky track like santa pod ... I think I would brake something there for sure Will add underbonet picture when I get home from work, but don't expect enything fancy. I don't even have a blow off

Same engine only with double valve springs.
Not sure if it will come out lighter than Escort though.
