Yup its a massive shame its not been abused more :lol: the cossie is mint and nice power but it just doesnt have the sleeper factor 8) but i love your cossie its awsome as a proper daily runner ad its got enough power to upset most things off the lights if you felt you wanted to have a little play one morning and its got a fookin load sterio in it :mrgreen:

it needs another 100bhp really the esc cos. :roll: Leather, sound system, 4x4 just makes it so slow and boring even with 400bhp.

I want my mk4 back out on the road or the mk3 so i can get some power back in my life on the road.
The XR3 is road legal.... but just asking for trouble taking it out on the road. TBH its pretty scary. :twisted:

Geeza 400bhp is enough in your cossie its seems plenty quick enough all the times iv been in it :lol: :mrgreen: but ye the mk4 or mk3 would be nice dailys but if i had one of them to drive daily it would cost me a fortune as id just have to upset everything that came near it :lol: a few pops and bangs the seeeeeeeyaaa :mrgreen: arse end snakin up the road hahaha :lol: but sayin that if i had either of them id probly loose my licence very quickly :roll: and yeah perhaps the xr3 would be a little silly on the road :lol: wow i need to pay my debts off and build something stupid i get so jelouse lol

lol ive got a nice 3dr that would the running gear would suit one of your cars jano.....

its in moonstone with a bit of a dent in the drivers rear quarter ive been quoted £400 to put right but the running gear would be nice in your escos :mrgreen:

its got the following :
fully rebuilt and speced for 550bhp 200 block engine by james goldstraw of grace engine developments (full spec avaliable)
gt35 roller bearing with external waste gate and screamer pipe and reyland spec 2wd manifold
ported 4x4 inlet ( was going to fit swedish)
1000cc siemens injectors
autronic sm4 with twin coilpack drivers ,anti lag , and custom braided loom ect ect fitted and mapped by mark shead @2.2bar
its got sheds loads more as you would expect to match clutch,intercooler ect and so on

fully rebuilt t5 , motorsport quiafe diff
coilovers poly bushes brand new vibrtechnics mounts

mot and tax its also got standard wheels fitted with r888s aswel as compotive th2s in 17" 3dr fitment

the car has pi$$ed 500bhp and at 1.6 bar with a hole the size of a 5p in the top boost pipe it made 414bhp and 416lbs and trust me its a great spec and it has so much grunt from low down aswel

when i spoke to mark shead the other day he said to me (as he knows the car) that with a hart inlet fitted that 550+bhp is easy and it will be close to 500lbs aswel

anyway FANCY A DEAL LOL my number is 07825348906 and i will send you some pics

or i want 8k without the comps and new mounts ect

Mark, im sure the engine is as you say. I have had 2 sierra 3dr cosworth's in the past, both moonstone blue. 8) Dont think ill own another out of choice. I also wouldnt want to swap my mk3 for one.

As thats basically what i have in drive form, but better looking and quicker :mrgreen:


Mk3 escort is the best shape out of all the cars i have owned or want to own, with a 400bhp rwd engine what else could you want...



Show us some pics anyways.
