fully stripped to bare shell and rebuilt. the only bits left of the original car was the shell, side glass, doors, boot lid and fuel tank. everything else either replaced or taken from my old car (kit, engine, turbo bonnet, lights, running gear, wheels, ice, recaros) electric windows, central locking, electric mirrors, electric roof, fuel computer.

resprayed in KIA sapphire with an extra helping of violet pearl. it flips from purple to blue with flecks of red and silver, nice!:cool:

ice- jvc cd player, longmill active crossover, sonys in front and rear run by xs 740w amp, 12" audiobann sub in ported box run by 1000w spl amp. alarmed by clifford.

many many mods and stuff done to it, jus enjoy the pics!

i can see where you get the bmw idea. the front lights are not standard. they are aftermarket quad conversions.

this'll get your attention. i may be getting my hands on an official Janspeed turbo conversion. (which is very very rare) its not just the conversion but the engine itself has had over £3000 worth done to it. all the metal piping and the huge intercooler has raised 'janspeed' lettering. if i can get me grubby hands on it, i will cramm it all into my car.

how does over 300BHP with unlimited boost sound?!! :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek: :eek:

in a front wheel drive car!:p should do 0-60mph in 5 secs, dont know about quarter mile but it should be quite fast!

i'll keep you updated.:cool:

Sounds damn good! Make sure you let us know if you get it; how much are you going to offer? And make sure it's completely straight before you buy it, you don't want to spend a whole load of money and then two weeks later it goes pop.

it hasn't been run for over a year, so if i get it, a strip down will be required. unfortuantely i have to buy the whole car. its fitted in but it won't run cos the loom hasn't been changed and has the wrong fuel tank. it was running in the previous car prior to fitting in the current car buts its unfinished project. i'm offering a grand. too little for a high spec engine etc, but its all i can afford.:(

Your lucky to get the real ford escorts where your at, here the "Ford" or CVH only makes around 88 hp for the 1.9 and 110 for the 2.0.
While your RS 1.6 make over 130 from the factory.
