They will make it to an EXACT SIZE too. Epic collection of cars you have there mate :approve: .
They always start standard and then the ideas start to flow. The 182's are a good base aslong as you're not modifying the engine. (poor gains).
It is indeed the arch gap wagon mate, no. 467/500. A lad off here (tommy g) his missus had one for a while.
To be fair they're not for everyone and unless she likes her cars and her men stiff!
It's not great to use for commuting everyday ect... Although it doesn't bother me.
Check out the Cliosport Saturday section. 30th of July in Gaydon. Bring a Ford along! Keep mine company.

Fancyplates for mine.
I got mine from fancyplates. £12 in a size I specified myself (because I don't have a clio). It's plain, UK legal font. Shouldn't attract attention.

Gally, I actually broke the Escos 6 months ago and a few bits were paid for over a period of time, the shell itself only finished being paid for on the 1st of July.
The car was a bit of a silly spec, I'd moved my own goal posts to many times and gone to far with it so I had to step back and release some capital from a garage ornament that would be used once a month on track.
In the past 6 months I've thought hard and regretted breaking it but couldnt warrant that level o money tied up in a car again, so I've now gone for a slightly more moderate spec and more usable car.
Naith, you probably did see it, we were in LeMans this year again and I did take the focus.
Sunday evening I think we had a little scout about on the track, peeked up the mulsane straight then went back to Arnage for a few bevvies then on to the camp site.
It was a bit wet on that evening to be start playing about tho!

old one was 563bhp, new one is vaguely around 500bhp going by previous print outs and spec list.
it will be off to my tuner in time for a once over and a health check before it starts being used in anger, and ill find out what its doing then.
its running a T4 Turbo, 8 injectors, pectel management, fully straight cut box etc etc, should be fun when its been given a once over and a few treats given to her
is Tour De Force a compamny mate?
if so, where abouts?
i can get a blinding deal on ATPower bodies, but still keeping options open at this stage, still gaining info and doing my research

Wow, decent spec then! Driven a 380bhp Saph - that was quick enough!
Yes TDF - http://www.cliosport.net/forum/forumdisplay.php?141-Tour-De-Force
Matt's fairly handy - used to map F1 engines so iv heard

Doesn't sound too much of a difference in spec really. Is there a big difference in your investment between the two Cossies?
Tbh, I love Escort Cosworths - it's just everything about them. It's a car I could happily own and let sit in the garage.

Wow - that's alot of money.
How do Cossies handle and go as standard, I think standard for standard there isn't alot in performance, but gains are real easy? What about handaling - I assume from a 20 year old car, compared to today's ones, they leave a bit to be desired?
A mate's brother had one, he bought it for £16k with 16k on the clocks in 2005 ish and wrote it off a year later - never forget it, it had the lux pack and was in imperial blue - I loved it. As soon as I can have £13k sat on the drive I'll try to persuade my wife to let me have one.

Proplates I found the best. Use their show plate section and you can get them totally plain with zero slogans/postcodes ect...
LOL at the number plate recess, I think you should go all the way and get a 4x4 square one!
