As said mate looks wicked!

[Dave G fsi]

Looks lovely mate

[hb69]

That looks cool Laguna front splitter would go well, the rs engine and a 4" outward rolled exhaust i reckon

[jonyb4]

ah it looks goregous mate

You still need to stick the RS18 lump in

HELL yeah!

[Ratspeed]

Cheers guys! i really wasn't expecting to keep this or turn it into a project car! But i abolutely love the car now!

Also i didn't expect much love for it on a fiesta forum either! Cheers for the positive comments

[jonyb4]

lol have you bugegred off to an escort site?!





everyone says they didnt anticipate a project when they by a quick replacement

i didnt with mine, but i never thought about it back then

[Ratspeed]

Evening all. I got a Megane splitter for it today.some front foggies and some front bumper spats off a mazda mx6 that fit the rear bumper really well. will try and pray for good weather and fit them tomorrow

[Dave G fsi]

Sounds good mate

[jonyb4]

[Ratspeed]

congrats on the cheapest sig EVER

I know, i got my inspiratiopn off you!

[jonyb4]

haha oh yes

[Ratspeed]

Today i got my finger out and fitted the front foggys, then the splitter and then the rear spats, but i think they are gonna gat painted white though. Its getting nearly how i want it now:D

Piccies:

Offering the spat up,


And the front splitter,


With everything fitted









sorry for all the pictures, you know i'm a whore

[hb69]

Think the spats and the splitter might look better in white. Look good though

[RS rob]

this car is crying out for rs 7spokes softlines!!!!!!

[Ratspeed]

Either them or Cossie rims, both a bit pricey though! I had the RS rims just kicking about doing nowt

17" softlines really would suit the modern lines on the mk6 escort!
i'm not saying your rs2000 rims look bad at all, just think the softlines would finish it off for me

[jonyb4]

hmm them spats look like smaller alternatives of the gti spats??

looks nice though very sutble, do them white can bearly seem them as they are


and i thought mk6 fogs were integrated in the bumpers didnt know they were able to fit other non fog bumpers

[hb69]

Cosworth wheels would be so good. Some new non cluttered number plates would be worthwhile i think

[rsonblackwheels]

very nice mate looks gr8

really like this

[Ratspeed]

Update time. Now this is probably going to be a marmite thing but...........i think it looks awesome!!!!!!!







As always, opinions welcome

[MK3-MATT]

Usually not into the coloured lips but that looks pretty cool why green though?

[- Danny Boy -]

That sure is different I like

[MENACE]

like the green pinstripes mate looks wicked needs some deepdish wheels

[EUFez]

I like it alot!

[Ratspeed]

Usually not into the coloured lips but that looks pretty cool why green though?

Why not? The calipers will be going green soon too

Ohh in that case fair enough, i was just thinking there's nothing for it to contrast with, although i like red

How have you done the lip then? looks really tidy

Just used rim tape, took about 10 mins and cost nothing!

[jonyb4]

i was gonna say, they would look ebtter if something else on the car was green

haha the 1.8 litre engine sure isn't

[MK3-MATT]

I like how the green mk3 you're supposed to be getting rid of has sneaked its way into your sig Jon!

[jonyb4]

haha i know! the sneaky devil

aww ive grown to it, its fun to drive and ive missed having a mk3, and lets not forget, its got all the creature comforts i need

get rid of it he said, hah well thats looking more and more bleak!

i told my gramps im getting attached to it, and he said "ah well keep it then"


matthew my good fella, aint you starting to miss the power of the Rs? the escort has a 1.8 hasn't it? you could fit all the RS parts to give it 130bhp!

i know its a boat but still 130bhp would shift it pretty quick

i was re-reading the Rs's feature in FF haha looking at your hair

[Ratspeed]

Haha, the Escorts only a 1600 zetec, i keep thinking about putting the rs engine in, but its just being arsed to do it at the mo.
Low and slow is how i roll at the minute!!

[jonyb4]

haha, well thinking about it 90ps, or a 1.8s 105ps, not that much of a difference

not sure about torque

if it were me, (mind this would depend on how attached tot he car you are) id sell the RS lump, and get a GTi 1.8 for the escort


dont mean to be rude and a 'conquering device', but i thinkt he RS engine should go in something more worth while

lol im sorry

well the RS engine is worth more than any old 1.8

[Ratspeed]

If i were to drop an engine in, it would probably be a rotten GTi and use the engine and ECU and then stick the Rs cams or put some 2ltr cams in with a plastic 2ltr focus manifold. an easy 130(ish) bhp for cheapness and a weekends work

As for the bus being worth it or not, i much prefer the Estates to the hatches, always have. There is just something about them
Plus the bus is solid underneath ans it will always be more fun owning people in an estate than being dissapointed with a escort badged up as a GTi to sell the leftovers as opposed to actually making a quick escort

i probably wont sell the engine out of the rs, it will stay tucked away in a garage until i have the time and funds to build a proper olskool ford

As for missing the power of the RS, not many cars feel really quick when youve hung your arse on the ground at 100+mph






And yes that is me hanging on(in my younger years)

[jonyb4]

haha younger years, your only 24 or so

i woudlnt liek a stone to catch me in the bollcks at them speeds


if you'd rather a fast escort, why not 2.0l it? them engines are cheap as chips these days

you could probably sell your white rs wheels for simialr money it would cost to get the engine you want

[Ratspeed]

It will be done at some point, but i do prefer the 1800 zetec.
At the moment tho power wise its staying as it is, i'm gonna have to spend some money when the little person arrives
