[QUOTE=Chip;5977178]Hi, mrs chip here

heres the pictures from last nights meet...




Right I will start.... Name is Mark and the above car, all be it looking rather battered in the pic lol is my RWD Escort Cosworth

Its running a very good stage 3 and with the RWD and the extra sheaded weight it goes very well.

No real plans for the car, just keep it running on the road. Might put a DV on her as its going to munch turbos for fun with the current turbo stall I get with her

As you can see from the photos, the number plate is in the wrong place and the carbon fibre splitter has a hole... I did that the day before the meet, I was gutted! All comments welcome good and bad

I'm Paul nice to meet you all, this is my car it's pretty much standard aside from a stage 1 chip, oz alloys and a stainless exhaust. It's currently running 240bhp which I believe is a touch low for stage 1 so that will need looking into. Be good to hear your thoughts on the car.

Mine was up briefly but if you want it to stay up you're welcome to stand there and hold it up or bring a long stick etc Think i'd rather it stayed down actually after seeing some of the other cars there. Mine is more of a purposeful engine bay, much like yours and Dougs

I was impressed with the turnout though and it was nice to see some decent cars down this way instead of corsa's and saxo's! Hopefully it'll keep going, i'm sure i'll come along to another one in the future as i'm out of the country when the next one is on.
