How much money are you expected to throw at an Escort Cosworth to make it perform like a 10k EVO?

For Sure,thats why i have a evo and a , i honestly could of bought all the crap to turn my car into group a machine or track day special ,stick a handbrake release gear box in like the works spec cars big brakes etc etc or just buy a evo that does it all,big brakes,hand brake release box,6 speed or 5,uprated suspension,and for about 2 grand 400 hp,i don't see the point in doing all that to a a escort unless your well up for wasting money unfortunately or don't mind spunking cash with no consequences

im sure you know full well what you should get as a return for the parts after seeing many Escorts being broken on the forums over the years anyhow.
im also sure you did most of the sums in your head and on paper before you even put this thread up

Yeah because I love the attention and putting myself through ALL of this unnessessary worry! The shell with ID was causing me the biggest headache, needless to say it would have to go first!

Something I should of thought about long and hard before going down the route I did, but as they say, Hindsights a beautiful luxury!

It is isn't Jase, there are many things I wish I had did but its too late now to worry about those things. I do hope you get it sorted and can enjoy the fruits of your labour, but if it needs to be broken to secure yourself a better future then don't worry about what people say, just do it

I have friends with these cars and they have just as many problems as we do .

370bhp and track use shits out the 6-speed box, 400bhp+ wanks the rear AYC diffs , the big solid front discs warp as look at them with any heavy use - I could go on - the grass isn't always as green as people like to think .

The KEY is knowing when to stop and DON'T EVER try and keep up or beat the Jones's - it's fruitless .

Well the sums are not adding up to what I want back from it, so its in limbo (as I told Martin not to do anything to it).

WRONG, I wouldn't have been so kind . I think it was the Talented Mr Ripley .

Well I'm tarring you both with the same 'barstard' brush!

I can't argue with that, I know what I am .
