thought i would chuck some pics of my car i've been constanly changing over the last couple of years it usually gets driven to work daily apart from when it's not going or getting modded in someway,latley she's been gettin a bit ratty bodywork wise but everything has been done at home hasn't set foot in a workshop yet not even for a wheel alignment [:u]

cool a turbo pinto. Do you have a hp figure and at what psi? Or even a 1/4 mile time?

no not yet i've really only had the turbo setup on the road for a bit over a week, it's not completley finished (well it never will be) but i can tell you i've had the boost at over 20psi and it's pretty crazy especially on poo pooty tyres, i actually have taken the boost controller out as it will more than likley end up impounded or blowing the motor up

Gotta appreciate honesty! [88]

I totally regret selling my old Escort before I got the chance to use my turbo and EFI gear. I bet it's sh!tloads of fun.

took it for another strap today , as a mate came around to look at it, but you just don't want to show off the hard work with 9psi, so yes i put the boost tee back on and up'd it, smelling to tyres in 4th gear is fun!!!, wind it back down for work duties tommorrow!!!

hahaha that is just mental, what diff ratio is it though?

open 3.9, funny i'm yet to break an escort centre as of now, i never give it beans off the line though, and i've never had much grip with poo pooty tyres, i've got a 3.7 locked diff on the bench

just keeping my thread alive, couple of pics its still going but i hardly drive it, just took it for a strap today to get the juices flowing again, now i goto work 5 -6 days and tafe 3 nights i've got a more appropriate car mitsubishi lancer soft i know ..

Love this car, clean and simple with a now fairly rare turbo pinto.

Can't wait to get some 15x7 Challengers on my Mk2.

Drool. [:p]

That is making me want to paint my project car red.
