The poor T3 gave up.[8~2]....This is okay[:u][:p].. I have a replacement on the way.[;^)]

Within the month there should be some photos of the new arrangement which includes a custom ratio straight cut gearbox.[:I]

It will be interesting to see what a stocker (internals are 1986 as new; yes this one was a very rare find[;^)]) YBB can do with a decent snail, ECU, ignition, intercooler and injectors.[:p]

A 22 Y.O engine with a hint of modern technology thrown on the side...

I even had to put off my article with Street Machine yesterday - This was okay too as they pounced at the chance to see it with even more on offer...We can only hope[:I][:0]

Yes straight cut. These days the teeth are properly ground and this reduces the noise. I have discussed the gearing arrangement/different gearboxes at length and this was chosen as the best solution! Bloody better be[;^)][88]

You sure can do it There are a few guys running in Appendix J with gearsets made by the same guy. He pretty much guarantee's them to be 'unbreakable'[;^)]

Hey Mark well done on getting into fast fours best car they have had in there in ages, good artical too.
The bigger turbo should be awesome same one phil is using ...? Have you had the eboost2 running on your car at all...? read a bit about those little buggers they sound like they can do some pretty neat things.

This car is certainly becoming a very wicked combination.

A cossie powered Escort in street machine is something out of the ordinary.. although I think IMBO5S was featured back when i was in my early teens.
Two of the MD conversions cars are in the latest issue, btw.

I am eager to see some pics with the new huffer hanging off the side
