Happy xmas Joe

Who is saying that crap about you mate

Got mine in red its going to look good on my engine, you bolt it up as you say then you turn the bar iin the middle to tension then lock up the nuts eithet end. , easy no more bar jammed down levering scracthing my red painted block or my nice alternator

I like that , well done looks a good buy

Yes the owner of the engine was creaming over the engine when he went to see it last weekend he has been watching the build of the whole engine at Colin’s so he has been waiting for that moment of the big fire up on there dyno I think he’s worn the video out now lol . Ha ha nice one Darren you know Col. Builds a spot on engine , mines been in 6 years now never missed a beat. And he never makes a big thing about it , we need a get together soon don't get much time to see you boys

W.ayne at wpe , sorry about that it automatically changes it to grumpy

Suprised Colin Ashton is'nt interested as he done a nice one for my mates escort and sorted his mates anglia st170 , have you tried steve at vulcan or wayne at wpe ?

Hoolligan

A very good show , nice and relaxed good people to talk too , I enjoyed it last year and enjoyed it even more this year and well done to all those that won trophys , look forward to next years

You won't go wrong with the Ashton boys working on your car mate , they know their stuff and will always look after you , well done

If it don't rain I'll be there

For sorting my esc , oil service , wheel alignment , and lots of niggly jobs all done and passed the MOT , I'll be out in it all weekend now and ready for the wingspan summer show , thanks again mate

A good show last year , I'll be there in my esc again this year looking forward to it

Nice one looks good , 4 years now my Ashton built engine has been in my car and still going strong

i never said he had ' a problem ' i just said he,s not interested , meaning the mods he,s doing this winter are to suit himself , not just to go out and be better than other escorts , anyway this topic is about the smart escort at the start of this thread , not what others are doing

Why the ashtons pinto powered more door mate ? dont think they,re interested in a ' bit of competition ' be it healthy or not !! i can think of at least 5 of the top of my head though who have tasty 4 door mk 2,s who may be , terry davies ben morley emu mick the cabbie 4 door sherwood all running smart more doors back to topic though , be good to see a another beauty hitting the streets

yeah thats right 13.2 @ 103mph with a 2.2580 60ft , 175/50/13s road tyres gave him no launch grip at all and if he can get that 60 ft time down its a 12 second car, not bad for a all steel road legal 4 door

track rod end is a type of ball joint and they have them , king pins will last if their greased regularly , cant see joe bloggs getting under with a grease gun somehow so not all will last 20 years

well done nephew , i know you obviously had lots of guidance from your dad but when i was over it was you i saw putting it together with your hands and your spanners , dont know any twenty one year olds who can build a 200 bhp pinto, so hats off to you mate , superb

that is fantastic mate well done have you shown mk1 gaz

great issue guys

as above, plus clean out your gauze in the oil filler cap or replace the cap always helps

nice one, 157 bhp ... that is good power

Ashton mobile, top boys in the area

happy birthday to my niece & petrolhead
