The splitter suits it so well imo, gives it more stance. Nice one mate.

i purchased a mk4 escort lx for £100 which has been sat since 2001 with a 1600 cvh engine in it
which was quickly fitted in my car
and now it goes so much better
will b getting the bike carbs on there asap and a ashley 4 2 1 exhaust and some sort of cam

also sprayed the inside of the doors matte black
and yes i know the grill is missing

Re: mk3 escort update 29/3/09 new engine
Mate I love your approach towards the car. Everything you have done to this car has been spot on (and your old one), spending little amounts and getting good gains. My word of advice is to treat any rust now, before it becomes too late! I will be watching this thread

Re: mk3 escort update 29/3/09 new engine
What a little beast
Its slowly coming along!!
Do you need to buy a k&n or have you got one coming?
If you need one, I think my mate has one brand new somewhere you could have off him (its the bolt on type - for like the HCS carb/EFI unit.. which is the same as what goes on the CVH engine yea?), i will have to check though. Last i heard he wanted £30 for it.. I could buy it off him for £30 and post it to you for free if you wanted it and if he still has it.
Just an idea
