no tincans unfortunatly, grand cars but the dogs on the road round here have em.
keeping it classy with the beemer half the price of a twincam for about ten times the car
she is a nice one alright but its hard to keep em well on the roads round here. bust alloys, suspension bangs and shitty roads are regular occurances.
the saff in the pic is a 24v cosworth and the escort is actually a replica of the real escos i have which is 370bhp
the replica which now has rs 2000 engine and is completly every single cosworth part. including all genuine body parts and all metal arches. full cos leather interior with all parts inc.tunnel and two radios and best of all a full escos back axel diff suspension tank boot . the lot. shes better specced than my real one!- leather, electric sunroof, newer mirrors and petrol flap:
the real escos, not the cleanest shes ever been

How have you combated problems with overheating and one wheeling? Take it you have just welded the diff up and fitted a custom radiator?

never had problems with either really mate. she never gets hot even after a good roasting doing donuts on the spot or whatever, will only ever go a little over half. dont know why cos overheating is a common occurance with them.
and believe it or not the diff is a totally standard limo which is one of the best limos ive ever driven, rarely if ever fails. they actually get better and tighter if they're used hard rather than easy daily driving

prob cause they are bought drifted n abused whilst no attention paid to rads/waterpump hoses and mixture most likely

i was told before that if your viscous coupling fan is any way bad then if you do donuts in a certain direction like clockwise that the fan will stop rotating, dunno if its bolox cos how would anyone see whats going on under the bonnet when theyre donuting
but you can imagine the scene, young johnny donuting mad in the local car park the first nite he gets his 325 and she overheats and seizes after ten minute on the spot and he goes round telling everyone theyre shit cars with crap engines
