Col-ashtonmobile Posted September 28, 2012 Author Report Posted September 28, 2012 Why the change Col? Just not using it Scott , i taxed it 4 months ago and have used it once doin 15 miles , but i,ve been enjoying doin osfdc and pod with Joe and he said ' Come on get your escort back in the DC and we.ll both race ' , but i,ve gone as far as i can imo with the v6 in terms of tuning and now its a road car with all the bits back on its not going to be very competitive with its & my weight issues . So keeping it as a road car i,m going to build some running gear & engine to compete with Joe whilst keeping it ready to go out to meets if i want to , hope that makes sense I love Dalcos escort ands thats the sort of thing i want

Col-ashtonmobile Posted October 4, 2012 Author Report Posted October 4, 2012 goodbye v6 hello 202 block
Joe Little Posted October 5, 2012 Report Posted October 5, 2012 Out with the old, in with the new Col, you'll soon forget about the essex once your running much quicker Joe
Mk 1 Mark Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 Whoosh......... Good luck with the change of engine colin. No doubt you will have to ols girl singing again soon. Dont go making it to powerful and beating joe up the quarter, and opening a can of worms again with Gaz!!! FPMSL
MK2Ed Posted October 8, 2012 Report Posted October 8, 2012 Is a shame to see the V6 go as precious few of these in Escorts. Still, a 202 block is nice, and whether you go turbo, supered or atmo variety is spice of life, re-sparks the interest and prob lead to more use of the old girl...
