What date can we expect the match up at the creek [?]

Id say early next year,it needs to be dynoed and a few track days to get suspension/tyres--------> driver sorted out.
Just remember boys its all about fun,not who has the fastest escort(but that helps)
2003/04/11 07:04:03
Dave
Pretty much finished boys.Did a few test starts yesterday down at the workshop yesterday.It leaves 2 big black lines,and accelerates quite well.just sorting the brakes out today.again

yeh they are back on ,(throttle stop drama sorted out).running abit rich,but nothing a dyno sesion wont fix.Its got some grunt but I ran out of space and couldnt get out of second,I want to just drive it down a straight road to see how everything feels,Have to wait till the next trackday.

New photos of the car,its really in a transitional period at the moment just sitting pretty in the garage.Did some more work on the brakes its nore sporting a new firewall mounted master cyl only set up to suit the volvo calipers better the brakes feel alot better than the escort master cylinder,thinking of an powerplant change for a bit more power still havent decided as yet what it will be.
On a t daily driver note theres been yet another change to the families car Line up,the ute had to go in favour of another family car so we've got 2 wagons, makes things abit easier with the baby and all,besides the new wagon is an auto and can legally tow the RS if/when I need to.............



OH I forgot you can upload with firefox.......WHY?
I'll open IE quickly before I get a trodgan and 20 viruses and upload some photos.

The car looks great, Jimmy, good to see more photos of it!

The hweels look fantastic too, great choice.

One question, where did you source the boot latches from? Interested in getting a pair.

Jimmy,
The car is going fine, I had it out at Oran park on the 7th of Feb. The twin webers made a huge difference. It ran sweet all day, and even held an AC Cobra replica at bay through the back part of the GP circuit, I did get smoked on the straight pretty badly though by the Cobra and some Aussie legends.
I have some video footage but dont know how to post it.
I can't wait for the supersprint at Oran in April, Will you be there?

tex
the car soundz like its performing good.
I will go(oran park) to watch,the RS is in hibernation mode until I move to my new house(if it ever gets finished)and Dont have the room or time to start the zetec/diff conversion before we move.
Im getting edgy though.............
Thinking about getting it regoed so I dont miss out on the NSW cruises.
On a side note.Has your Escort got a alloy cage in it.?

Can you run in CAMs events such as supersprints and hill climbs with it.

Alloy cages are fine for club level hillclimbs and supersprints
2006/12/03 20:29:38
TEX
The cage is regulation steel, built to meet cams specs. The car should meet Improved production requirements. Supersprints and club stuff is way more relaxed than cams circuit racing events.
2006/12/03 20:38:26
Dave
yeh OK I read somthing on another forum that suggests they are banned from any CAMs affiliated event ,I couldnt see why?

Has there been any recent changes to the CAMS rules relating to cages.?

I want to fit a diagnal cross bar and door intrusion bars,but only if I can still use the alloy cage.
Only for the mentioned events
2006/03/13 12:32:03
Simon
Dave, rules regarding alloy cages changed at the end of 2000, so unless your car was log booked with the alloy cage before then, it's not permitted for use at any CAMS sanctioned events.

If it was log booked before the end of 2000 with the alloy cage, you can still add to it, but you can't remove any part of the original structure.

If not, then as Phil said, it will be fine for club level events.
