I am pretty sure it came up for sale at some stage and may not be with the above forum member any more.

Cheers, I thought I had seen the car before - the US 2.3 pinto isn't  a common conversion.

Hmmm I wondered to myself what the ride height is on any of the current bred of supercars. I would hazard a guess that they may be below the "100mm" ride height standard yet this appears not be an issue. Whilst I don't condone  poorly or incorrectly modified cars which possibly could cause injury or death, I wonder if the time and resources could be used to address more serious issues in the community, such as drug dealing, rape, murder, child abuse, homelessness, mental health issues and other life changing events.  Hoping off my soapbox now.

call me weird but i would be more worried about the bloke who just downed 10 pints and hops in his car rather than the guy who has spent a few hours cleaning/going over his car so he can take it out for a cruise
 
10 pints and driving home
 
or
 
blow off valve/ under 100mm in height, ect
 
the latter dosnt cause risk, but gets penalized

My escort came factory with non retractable seat belts, and as such cannot be defected. I've even had comments/compliments about them from police when passing through an RBT :)
Are the laws different in NSW?

Im with this comment. I thought Mk1's didn't come out with retractible seat belts? I think its more about the age of the belt and if its in good working order. If its a standard type in good working order i dont see a problem there... But not sure if its actually law here in NSW.

He then goes on to the "non standard" exhaust comment.. how would he know that? So a bit of a contradiction from the above. Also I doubt there is any escort on the road with its original exhaust. Obviously if its too loud etc fair enough but thats a different story.

I try to avoid truly bad, opinionated, commercial, journalism like aca, but here I am, sucked in, with a head full of steam....
So this is my story....
17 years ago I bought a shiny RS Escort and within an hour got a speeding fine, next was my first yellow sticker, I took a picture of it and framed it in pride, as with the second, third, up to the seventh one. I still have them and it makes me cringe... My car was wrong and so was my attitude toward the police....
The RS car sat in Dad's garage for a few years while I moved on in life, my passion remained, but it was more aimed at trucks and machinery, I learned a lot about the road rules and better still mechanical sympathy.
A few years ago I picked up a low mileage Cortina, she's beautiful. I was nervous about driving a old car again and soon we came across our first officer... He just drove by and gave me a thumbs up, and so did the second one up to the seventh...
Inspired I've dug out the RS again, we're gonna be doing it right this time and I can't wait to be pulled over.....
Life lesson learned............
 
 
 
 

im not sure about cops these days but in the early ninety's they had no bloody idea, i use to do the drag scene at campbelltown nsw which everyone use to hung out across from the police station, never drag myself, i just liked hanging out and seeing cool cars,
 
one day i got defected in my A9X Torana for bold rear tyres, mind you ive just bought them brand new two days previously, took it to the place where they take the defects off, and they just laughed and said how dumb the cops are,
another time i was at the meeting place just siting there and letting people look at the A9X, had the bonnet open, and a cop came up to have a look under the bonnet and said its that a v8 or a 6, hmm if you dont know the difference between a v8 to a strait 6 then how the hell can they defect a car

thats bad  i thought the cops in the uk were bad 
you can lower a car as much as you want here lol

While 5% of the NSW Police Force were concentrating on Hoons, the other 95% were concentrating on the above. Rant heard

Hi all! Well were to start lot of worthy comments! and alot of waisted police resources for sure! i live in W.A. and the cops over here have been renamed the "fun police" although my daily is a 4x4 and i live miles from the city the cops can be right ****ers! not all but the majority,apart from my escort RS projects  I also own an awsome  Harley,total work of art! ,not involved in any clubs and i get put on the side of the road nearly EVERY time im out and get treated like im an outlaw! WTF! you no  wat cops were all the kids that got picked on at school and this is how they get back at society UNKOOL!  keep cruzin crew and watch ur mirrors,look out for the one eyed multi scrotom,and remember its crew like us that keep these fine examples of machinery alive so these dogs can attend car shows and preach to there kids how kool daddy used to be before he joined the force!! ;)
