Something tells me this will be something quite special :cool:
|
Im sure it'll be something good once finished :top:
What happened to the Saff? |
Am i wrong in thinking FastFord are covering some of this next month?
|
|
Thx for the post Ish
For those interested I am hoping to create a good going track car from this Aiming for around 400BHP so i still have a chance of being able to run standard transmission (fingers crossed) As you can see what i bought off Sean was a pretty poor & unloved example of an Escos so have spent the last 6 months or so gathering bits. Martinn has built my engine for me Using a new 205 long studded block (thx Harvey). Its been balanced & is running 7.2:1 forged Cosworth pistons. The head has been slightly played with & has Reyland Cam & double springs. Big wing & baffled sump fitted & Reyland hydraulic clutch done. It has a Willwood bias pedal box Which Sean started to install but is now finished Hence the steering drop down bracket & has a Hydraulic hand break. It sits on Avo coil overs with 330 AP front & 315 AP rear & as you can see has New style Comp MOs 9X18 with yokos I aleady have Cobra Evo seats from my saff, harnesses, stax guages, RS 500 cooler, breather&pipes, and morettes so really not too much more to buy now. Just need time to finish as can only spend Saturdays at the workshop. Target completion for End of Feb |

Looks great mate, lord knows how it pulled it off but Sean's Escos was the only one that looked great without a whaletail! ;) :DD:
Any plans for the future to get it back to the spec it was heading for? :top: ;) |
Not really Dan
The spec he was looking at costs a fortune :cry: & can cause unreliability what i want is a good going fun track car that is road legal :top: Will be happy to drive it to track days & hopefully not break anything :? :cry: Easy to get bitten by the Reyland bug though :eek: |
What was the spec he was heading for. OSG box?
Looks sweet. :top: |
Anymore updates on work done this year yet?? :)
