Well with just getting back into an escort I thought I would start a thread to keep note of any changes made. After chasing power with my old car and making a bad choice in tuners, this car will be kept under 400 bhp and hopefully as reliable as possible. The only change I might make is to go back to a standard exhaust cam and get a remap to help bottom end response.
First plans are to sort the small faults on the car so the fuse box will be replaced or repaired, and the pod gauges sent off to Brendan.
The progress will be slow but i have a few parts lying already both left over from K60SSE and from my Porsche.
Just now the car is running a 310mm disk upgrade on the front , but i have these lying so may look at making up a brake kit with the 310's on the rears and 350+ on the front.
The standard boost gauge is pointless so my old Collins 40psi gauge will be fitted in one of Mikes pillar pods
I also found my old strut top caps so these will get a coat of wrinkle black along with a brake res cover to fit in with the engine bay.
I was lucky enough to have picked up a Ryan loom last week from Doug Stirling , that fits the spec of the car with coil pack,cam cover trigger... so with any luck this along with an uprated fan loom will be fitted at somepoint.
The only other parts I could find was my old rear strutbrace and dump valve, Im not sure if either of these will be fitted but if they do they will both be painted black first.
In the mean time the car is tucked up in the garage with the heaters on
