If its CVH its 8v single cam The Zetec are 16v DOHC 1.8 XR2i are Zetec - early 1.6 XR2 are CVH though ;) Z

Malta have some FAST cossies! Z

No bad, I still window shop old Fords though lol Need a tad more power from the Octy! Z

Lovely Escort, our sapph:

Hello fellow newbie :D I used to have a stripped XR2 for track, just as you say its not all about straight line power, but chucking it round the bends! Z

Personally I wouldn't bother with rear disc conversion, although if you want it for cosmetic reasons go for it, but power certainly doesn't warrant it (even RS turbos only have rear drums ;)) I'll stop hi-jacking your thread now :lol:

Like the wheels, I have a thing for black wheels! Was going to get the VRS's wheels done anthracite - my XR2 alloys were painted black, looked wicked with red My FRST was pink when first got it, after a lot of elbow grease...

FPMSL, yeah that means I know good cars :blink1: its a good runaround while keeping the cossie for weekends only. Let me see, 180bhp Skoda or shonky old Escort... (although I'd love another XR3i, or RST or RS2000) let me think :lol: hey I loved my mk6 cabrio, just my opinion on what would...

My first one was an 1989 XR3i! Z

Loads of cossies being broken on passionford.com but seriously I would NOT think about putting a yb lump in your Escort, will cost you a lot of money a lot of time and a lot of work, you'd have to have EVERYTHING, (whole running gear (diff, drive shafts, etc etc) suspension, wiring loom - ok a...

Personally I think that body kit looks rubbish (for want of not using a swear word!) what are you doing to the sides? Cherry bomb? Steer clear! It'll be all noise and no go - and with the 1.6 I wouldn't spend too much money on the engine (although my mk4 had 1600 XR2 engine in with stage 2...

Hi Wayne & Charger, thanks for the welcome :D VAG is very new to me, as you can see I'm more of a Ford fan, couple of our friends are very much into the VWs though. The cossie is only stage 1 around 14psi but 295bhp nice and useable, with a proper blower on it lol that just sits in the...

Hmmm really, cool! All I know is the VRS uses a bigger bhp engine than the turbo'd Golf GTi's. Its a daily runner so don't want to go too silly with it Z

Saw two of my old cars at various car shows (they both looked awful and not in the tiptop condition they were sold in!) I was angry and sad! lol Saw my XR2 the other day and felt pangs of missing it Z

lol don't think I'm going to go as high psi as that! Thanks for the advise though Z
