I have done that but with a sledge hammer . Will have another go and just keep trying...

They seem as they are really tight in there. Would it be any good if i were to heat it?

Sure have, abit after i had started though

Having a problem removing the axles from my escort. Have made a slide hammer like concept but they will NOT move. Any tips anyone?

I have seen one in Napier, at least i think it was one!

Just for all the escort owners out there, could you please tell me where your car is rusting (thats if it has any). I seem to have alot in the spare wheel part and both the drivers and passengers floor, is this common?

I agree, u see all these subarus with drainpipes as there exhaust to make the car sound good!

My escort drinks the water hard out and i dont know where it goes. Is this a sign the head gasket is poked? After your thoughts, Thanks.

Sports ran a 3.54 with 13's but mine is 4.12 with 13's. What advantage does this give over a lower diff?

Sorry, some idiot told me it was 2.2, just checked and it is 4.12!!!

Thanks, with my ratio it will mean SLOW acceleration but a high top end wont it?

Yep, seems strange aye?

Can someone please tell me what the diff ratios were in the mk1 escort's? My MK 2 is 2.2:1, trying to work out what it is out of. Thanks

It costs $50 here in Napier but i got it free with a clutch kit.

I have heard that you can use monroe gas shocks which should lower it 1-2 inches or so.

It sure was, that was the guy that i bought it off. Also, have you sent the banner??

You got it, it is fiberglass not the RS one

Of the spoiler?

When i bought the car the spoiler came with it and it is only 2 1/2 inch.

There is a pic here (its bigga than it looks!) - http://www.ratemyride.co.nz/images/ride/13302b.jpg

I got a chrome dumpa, nice and shiney

Hi everyone, I have the exact same problem with my escort!!!

Funny that, my escort started making funny noises, I THINK mine is the diff or GB. Will have to look into it more though

Good luck not having a petrol tank!
