Booked a track day and I'm just trying to sort out some tyres what tyres are good for a track day and not to expensive. Someone offered me a set of mazda wheels with toyo r888 would Mazda wheels fit a ford. Any help thanks

I'll be up for that won't be able to bring the escort but will be there

I use redline tuning in Basildon. Give Richard a call 01268530322

I have got a high torqe starter for my escort from burton. i have fitted it and connected it up ind it turns the engine over but there is a cable with a push connection. what is this cable for. on the new starter there is no where to connect to any help thanks

i would be up for it but my motor aint moved for over a year hopefully will be running this month. and then i was hopeing to get involved in the osfdc and want to be ready for the retroford track day .

thanks everyone i will try some of your ideas this weekend thanks

batterys in the boot so you think its more likely the battery than the starter. also when it gets hot it struggles to start would i still get that problem with the high torque

thanks i just look on Cambridge motorsport that should do the job thanks

i have a 1600 cross flow thats had a fair bit of work done to it and the starter motor was struggling to start it the starter has now packed up so i am looking for a high spec starter. any recomendation on whats good and whats not and suppliers thanks

ok i will give it a go thanks for all your help will let you no what the problem was when i fix it. thank you

not to sure but cant turn it forward when box in neutral but i was able to before the box was fitted. i tried putting it in gear and pushing the car a little just to see if it would turn the engine a little. but it didnt move at all so i removed the starter just in case it was jamed but no difference

changed the prop to the shorter one. i just dont under stand whats wrong spent all day trying to figer it out im quite handie round the car iv had the engine and box out loads of times i just dont no whats wrong

no i didnt cut it down someone told me about it after i fitted the box

ok thanks i can only think that there is something wrong with the box then

i used i crossflow flywheel just been lightened and balanced by burtons crossflow starter and a clutch plate from burtons not sure what its from but they said it was the one for fitting a type 9. someone told me some type 9 boxes have a longer shaft that need cutting down ?

i was able to turn the engine over by the bottom pully but once the gearbox was fitted i was no longe able to turn it over but cant see what can be wrong cluch plate is in the correct way

just fitted a type 9 box to my 1600 crossflow and now the engine is jamed cant turn it over by hand (on the bottom pully).i have change the clutch plate have i missed something basic any help or ideas would be very greatful thanks

i held mine in place and fixed it about every 200mm with screws then run a bead of white seam sealer round it to tidy up the join

i used a mk6 rs2000 cable on mine had to mess about with the hourse shoe bracket

ill be there but might have to com in the focus as the new engine and gearbox might not be in the escort. hope you keep this going.

i had an anti-dive kit on my mk2 escort from day 1 so dont no how much it helped but the car dose handle very very good on road and track. so im happy
