Mmmm Mk1

 

A customer at work has 3!!!

All genuine BDA powerplants. I love cosworth engines :)

[Willis]

I love cosworth too. But I don't think my wallet would. Once I could actually afford one that is...

I'd love an escort.

WGMG having a nissan for a daily and spending more money on it cause its unreliable. done a head gasket, 2 weeks after blow a welsh plug, now split the power steering pump hose. its just shit after shit

An associate has a Mk1 Escort with a quad throttle body 2 lt Zetec in it, done up as a Mexico. It's epic. :)

 

I'm normally a stickler for keeping the newer engine within the same brand, so I approve of this. I approve of it alot.

 

yeah i reckon a zetec would be fun, where do you even get a zetec from though?

 

First-gen Focus is common-enough here, Mondeos had them too but I think they only sold about 10 of those in Aus in total :P

An escort panno would be pretty rad to have.

Used to be one in Ballarat, still done up in the signwriting from the '70's speedshop that used to own it way back when. Still remember going into the place with the old man too.

 

There was/is a Mk2 Escort running a BDF (?) Cossie in the Ballarat Light Car Club. Anyway, it was supposed to be more exotic than the "boring" BDA Cossie........

WGMG!! Having to go back to a stock 4k with my blower cam(for the giggles mainly) from a blown injected 5k. :( Haha at least I'll be able to drive it while the turbo 5k stuff gets acquired.

JDM tax at its best

 

For $200 + $20 postage you can have a set of

corona xt130 lower control arms

 

Or for $130 + $20 postage you can have a set of

ae86 power steering arms

 

Glad i don't need nor want either

Bloody hell would have thought better from Marvis. But then again i only drop onto the forum from time to time and read some of his posts.

If people actually read stuff, they'd realise what else they could use.

 

Especially when people are virtually throwing away the exact same things....

It's rediculous. I paid $90 posted for my P/S arms from the states. So i got an okay deal but i've seen them as much as $250...

Atleast you can finally drive it again!!!

I've missed out here a bit, was looking at Marvis' T50 the other day and lost it, laughed my freakin arse off. Those JDM fags are getting realllly bad now. T series' are becoming a joke, the tailshafts to suit them are even more of a joke. And then you can mate it all to your 600 dollar T50....Come on man, it's a T50..
