AndyW Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Missed this, has your GTi gone then?Personally, I think your mad, but each to their own. I suppose the plus point is that it was one of the last Escorts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sleeky tdi Posted December 3, 2005 Report Share Posted December 3, 2005 Used to have a 1.3 mk6 escort, was a nice car steering was a bit vauge and wooly though.Is the zetec a 105, 115 or 130 spec unit? If it aint the 130, then fit a throttle body from a 2.0, change the cam and get a remap (or fit a 130 ecu) and you should have 130+ then style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />Lee.

nfbr Posted December 6, 2005 Report Share Posted December 6, 2005 dont get me wrong mate, its a lovely looking car, i just think its subtle lines would suit the standard clusters more than those Lexus jobs which stop it looking like a nice "Standard" motorI guess i just have a hatred for lexus lights on any car style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":)" border="0" alt="smile.gif" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Petes 16V Sport Posted December 8, 2005 Report Share Posted December 8, 2005 im personally more of a fan of your old loop, but the increased practicality is cool, and its looks like a well looked after car, especially considering the price. Just be careful coz its not as modern/capable a car as your loop was, but other than that happy motoring! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
