Forums Forums Enthusiast Forums A - Z Autowirral Scoop : Ford Escort SI

Scoop did you get rid of the scottish kiss on
the front bumper?

Or very clever pics.

Pics look great

thought that myself, but I think it's just very good camera angles and the fact theres 2 of em lol

your car would look so good with them side skirts on

Check the below image to see the scottish kiss still there


A lot of it came off with the T-cut (all thats left is the part thats scuffed down to black bumper) got the blue and black from the other car off)

Fell in love with the scort again today so think im gonna get the skirts done and bumpers and tailgate sprayed,then who knows,maybe even those WRC graphics

Latest Ebay victory




Its an exhaust manifold that started life an an ST170 item but was cut up and welded so it fits onto a mondeo's zetec-E. Its a 4-2-1 and SHOULD have enough clearance under my sump (standard mondeo downpipes turn under the sump a few inches higher than escort downpipes do,and the mondeo sump is a few inches shorter than the escort item) Worst case scenario i just buy and fit mondeo sump and pickup pipe

Problems with car this week: Blew a coolant hose off the join to the heater matrix(engine side) Quickly found it (stopped straight away after a massive cloud of steam errupted out of the engine bay) and rectified it (i hadnt fitted a jubilee clip when i changed the engine,silly me) Filled with new coolant,bled,and also engine topped up with special military oil (as a tempory measure)

When i service my car next (this and the BMW,if thats ok) i'll be using this military oil to flush the engine out (its a 10W30 with special detergents in....and its FREEE)

Its also had the primarys bent into a different position, the standard manifold is an awkward shape - Looking good though, get it on the rollers

BAD NEWS. The ebay manifold hasnt been won (even tho it sed it was) the guy has said he set a reserve of 200 quid but it obv never worked. Ebay have removed it,reversed the transaction and all that gubbins. IF i want it i'll have to pay 200 quid. Which i wont,i only bid on it cos no-one else was and it appeared to have no reserve.Dazza. Fancy a manifold for 200 notes? search ebay

Pic with wheels and half smokeds on, more to come when im dressed and outside

Mondeo V6 calipers with some decent pads thrown in free, get meself to a motor factor tomorrow to get the 278mm cosworth fit discs to bang on at the weekend

those look like they have been sat at the bottom of the ocean for a thousand years, you shore they still work, after all they only stop your car

i'd get the calipers shot blasted and re-built, with new seal and pistons before i used them, mind you i would go for some big alloy calipers instead............but we are not all made of money
