  1. for escort and mk1 tina how much are they worth?
  2. got the same kit on mine with grp4 alloy ubs the wilwoods are awesome stoppers and it now pulls up quicker than most modern cars
  3. mines 2inch at the back on AVO adjustables with CD6 leafs and Billie Coilovers on the front with 10inch 180lb springs, its damn low but the only thing that catches is the exhaust now and again (fookin speed bumps)... getting a jack under is fun though
  4. got an r1 pump on mine, 3psi, more than enough
  5. lol your car looks like a clone of mine im flattered
  6. it might look like that over here tomorrow
  7. booking it on monday mate had my wallet confiscated today all i need to do now is make the car handle badly.... anyone got any shonky tyres they dont want
  8. Too late to be worrying about that mate, your allready there only slightly
  9. Tell the calendar author that I hope his next shits a hedgehog! I was already planning friday night out. It was the first time my birthday had fallen at the weekend for ages! lmao sorry Scott shouldn't laugh but that's cracked me up! Appologies to anyone else who has a birthday in June my bad Maybe we should lobby for that to be national OSF day!
  10. for me its Baz's lemans green mk1 followed very closely by mine
  11. lmao I dissagree, it was lets say it was a spririted urban drive it is a quick mini, 1380 on a single 40! and the blue smoke before gear changes suggests to me he was trying hard... bear in mind I have moaned about my 4.1:1 final drive on this occassion it paid off as I thought I might break my cibies pushing him out of the way Something that has surprised me about the escort is its handling, in the dry its rock solid with no signs of under/oversteer... it just grips and turns and accelerates through corners like my old scooby no bull! I had a chat with the my young mini driving neighbour last night and his first workd were "what the fook have you got in that? 2 litre?" As for the 16v statement, if I had a 16v YB in mine once again I think he would have been slightly embarrassed I wish I could keep the escort the way it is as its fookin good fun but i plan to do longer journeys, and thats when the fun turns to the onset of certain madness and potentially the death of my beloved crossflow
  12. same here and this is a nice one, ill get some pics, its only two houses down
  13. Mini Escort Won a neighbour has built a quick mini over the same period as i built the escort came across him on the way home last night, im guessing he though the escort wouldn't corner as well as his go kart
