Re: you ever think the zx2/escort will return?

yeah but wont the turbo impair drivability? thats the one thing ive been uneasy about is how much my mpg will be impaired if i add f/i. compared to either buying a different cam or adding domed pistons.

Re: you ever think the zx2/escort will return?

if you add f/i to your car i'd be more worried about the tranny rather them the MPG

Re: you ever think the zx2/escort will return?

this is true. there is no possible way to help build my tranny is there? i mean maybe stronger clutches, or something. trannies are just soo complicated.... wait is the auto a ford tranny or mazda? i might be able to go to mazda and ask them if it is possible to build.
