ST170'd Mk2 Escort Ghia

Just been out in this badboy about an hour ago and honestly I still haven't stopped grinning. THIS. IS. UNREAL. A mates but his uncle built it and sold it straight to him. From what I can remember...

Full ST170 Conversion
R6 Bike Carbs
Omex ECU
RS200 Close-ratio 4-speed box (110mph max! But my god is it frantic through the gears)
G-max shocks and springs (cheap crap, too soft, need changing)
Front strut brace
Mini-lite alloys
Heaters removed
216bhp and I forget the torque.
Weight about 880kgs IIRC.

And now the bit you've all been waiting for....

Still badged as a 1.6 ghia :lol: The sounds is just unbelievable and it's bloody quick, no traction whatsoever in first or second just spins up one rear wheel LSD is on the list. I've been in and driven some quicker cars but the way this feels, the noise and the looks you get are something else.

I offered him a grand more than he payed for it (over 6k) in cash right there on the spot but he turned it down lol.
