Thanks Guys for all the positive comments. Its not a show car but its pretty tidy considering that its a daily driver & was painted over 10 years ago. Its a shame the photos turned out so large, not sure what happened there?
Avon, The tyres are 195/50R15. It doesn't scrub at all, but its not that low really & the suspension is pretty stiff. In the past I have always run 205's on 7 inch rims, but these rims were already fitted with tyres when I put them on the car. But it does make a big difference, heaps tighter/less tyre roll than with 205's. I have just had new tyres fitted to the front which are Goodyear F1's.
Sterling, I think you are referring to the swirl pot or surge tank. Most efi cars have a chamber inside the fuel tank where the fuel pick up is situated to stop fuel surge/the pump running dry so they don't require an external tank. In saying that most seriously tunned modern cars run a surge tank to make sure there is a perfect fuel supply to avoid destroying the engine. So as the escort fuel tank wasn't designed for an efi setup I have used this external tank which means unless the lift pump fails the main fuel pump always has a perfect supply of fuel.
Mark, I think the Cossie is going well? Its well over due for a drive, so is the Escort for that matter! All this nice cold air will be gone before it gets out of the shed at this rate!
