FMX188V - GCATWL014050 - 29/9/1979 1979 Mk RS2000 custom with Zakspeed xpack (Zakspeed feature car in 1982) Modified into a race/touring car tribute - Alan Mann with NA Phil Jones Cosworth Engine, FIA cage, Willwood brakes, Quaiffe Diff etc etc http://www.carpictures.com/vehicle/09KKB031331682/Ford-Escort-RS2000-Mk-II-Barons-Yuletide-Auction-1979 http://www.motorvation.cc/PropDetail1.asp?PropertyID=2479&t=dg I am trying to build up a history file as well as make sure the car is in the best shape possible.. She is now back on the road with a clean MOT! Any pointers would be more than welcomed as to its history and I would value any comments and thoughts on its spec - good bad or indifferent

Hi All and thanks for the warm welcome and warm warnings! I don't mind a little banter so crack on with the jibes.... however the red and gold has become cool again, in the form of Iron Man don't forget I will try and cut and paste those links and or paste some pics shortly... Its running twin 48's for the specific induction question and yes indeed does go very well although I am going to very shortly send her in to make sure the geometry is all good and the engine is all signing properly!! Hopefully I will get to boxhill as I used to always see the meets there when I lived in Leatherhead.. are the planned meets publicised on here or by invite only?

Why did that go on, on its side? not the most successful first post

Until I can get it working - high level spec She is a 1979 RS2000 Custom but has gone through quite a transformation over time, Zakspeed x pack fitted as Zakspeed feature car in "hot car" 1982 Now in full Alan Mann livery Specified as a racing spec... NA Phil Jones Cosworth rally spec engine 240+ bhp Modified type 9 close ratio/quick shift box Full FIA cage & bucket seats/harnesses Large Willwood brakes front and cosworth rear Fully adjustable coil overs all round Watts linkage Quaiffe diff If someone cab help me with the cut and paste thing I will add some more details and pics.. In the meantime I took a quick snap in the garage Hopefully will learn a lot from the forum and contribute what I can. Keen to get any info or feedback on my car, good bad or indifferent! Cheers for now Nick
