EURON8 Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 The sluggish and not revving out will be caused by the 1300 escort engine under the bonnet. Good base though, good thing about escorts is the wide array of parts and aftermarket goodies. making lush suspension setups quite easy. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

punkoutnz Posted June 19, 2013 Author Share Posted June 19, 2013 None of the "here" links work. The sluggish and not revving out will be caused by the 1300 escort engine under the bonnet. Good base though, good thing about escorts is the wide array of parts and aftermarket goodies. making lush suspension setups quite easy. Had to make the posts before I could edit in the links, haha. It's only making any kind of power to 3000rpm, is that normal? And yeah the parts availability is awesome! Going to make it quite a rewarding project (cos I frikken hate looking for parts for months on end!) Pinto and 1600 xflow sitting on garage floor if your remotely interested..... Don't tempt me! Not at this stage, but some time in the future... Quite possibly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KKtrips Posted June 19, 2013 Share Posted June 19, 2013 Good man. I like your style. Go full early 90s Fast Four and Rotaries magazine spec. Bright pastel colour. A body colour matched engine with multicolour paint splashes on the tin work and inner guards. Wide Tridents and Eagers. Just look up any FFnR magazine from 91-93 and you'll see what I mean. That is not sarcasm by the way. I actually mean it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
