Thanks again everyone. Very friendly bunch
Yeah the Escort was really nice. Unfortunately it went the same way as the rest of them and succumbed to rust about four years ago. I sold her on and she's been off the road the last two years so I'm not sure what her fate was. Probably had the engine ripped out and the shell has been left rotting somewhere. My plan was to throw the engine in a little 1st Gen Fiesta Zetec S as 190bhp and 180lbs of torque would have been a laugh but I was undone by costs.
The Type R is great it's just the dump valve that's annoying me at the moment, it's been mapped but it seems like it's upsetting the car a little. So I'm on the hunt for a recirc valve if anybody has got one lying about?
