im hoping for a bigger engine soon maybe zetec. but getting married in 2 months so gota wait for that. and i hate the wheels its got at minute. so they need changing. yea zs bumper suits the backend but might get the black bit painted red.
mainly just have fun with it as use it everyday to go work ect. and it make me smile everyday. :)

hi all my steering doesnt feel that great. it feels quite vague. what is the most common cause of this? worn rack or the uj or both could be trackrods. ive replaced both wishbones which improved it alot. my tracking looks out aswell but no piont getting it set untill ive replaced what i need to. might just replace all of it. what do you lot think? ive always had mk3 and mk4 escorts before this so im not shore on the problems these have.

make sure when you're doing the track rod ends that you remember exactly how many times you twist it. and they go and have it re tracked, otherwise you'll knacker your tyres :( (i learned the hard way!)
