very nice...i am a massive fan...

... now that's what an Escort should look like. Nice.

SWEET!!!! What did that set you back?? Did you perform the conversion yourself??[:u][:u]

Excellent work JoshWelcome to the forum...noticing that you went 'skew' on one part in the front end[:x)][:x)][:x)]

...Are you still with SFCC at all?

g'day Mark

Yep im still with the SFCC. Associate member at the moment as the regs dont allow this engine mod. I'll show up on a club run one day. Just have to get the kids and wife off my back.

g'day,

Built it myself. Took a lot of effort and time. Still modding it and probably will forever. Next thing on the list is a hilux lsd rear and disk brake upgrade.

Yeah i did go skew then couldnt sleep so i ripped it off and re did it. That s**t is not fun to do.Had to cut it by hand as the decal kit comes in multiply peices on the front as it is too big for one piece.

g'day
Yep, performed the conversion myself. It cost around $6500 for the engine , box, ecu, manifolds, exhaust, tailshaft, intercooler, pipework, all the new autometer gauges, fuel pumps, fuel cell etc. The list is long but worth it in the end.
Helps to have a garage full of tools and beer.

g'day Shea,

Not dynoed yet but soon. Running the standard t25 turbo at the moment so im not expecting much. With the other mods, should get around 200-220 at the tyres on high boost. In a lightweight car, its magic. Im waiting for the Escort diff to chernobyl.[(#)]

EDIT: it looks so inocent from the outside, those commy drivers wouldn't kno what hit them

Heres a few more shots of during the build process.
Not much room in the bay. This is a real effort when you do it by yourself.
