you mentioned the 1.3 mk4 escort on bike carbs, ive got the same engine and quite fancy putting bike carbs on it, is it worth it? and what was it like?
@@mk4escort896 not worth it lol sounded good made no more power and drank fuel. You’d need supporting mods like a tubular manifold Kent do a cam and port the head. But the money you’d spend on that you might as well slap an st170 engine in there
I say modifie it put you unique touch on it like you did the fiesta you already have the anglia witch is stock so go for the rwd or maybe awd setup on this
I would put the engine out of compo into the escort … nothing that will involve cutting it about too much, proper suspension and wheels … make it a sweet fast-road car …. then go nuts on the fiesta and build that into a rwd dedicated track car 😜😁

Band them wheels mate drop it a bit and drive it 😂 Glad you binned that carb I’m sure I told you to do that when you broke down in it and I watched that video And don’t tax or mot it that will be exempt from it now save the Penny’s😂
VV was ok when in decent nick. I'm guessing your main issue would be mank in the fuel tank.....keep an eye on your fuel filter. My sister had an X plate mk3 with a 1.1 cvh (the only one I've ever seen), that ran so sweet & was mechanically silent. Whatever it is needs to be a sleeper. Some sort of 4wd turbo, maybe a 1.5 3 pot from a Mk8 ST with a Haldex 4wd setup, stock banded steels & pea shooter exhaust.
Is your gear change sound? Looks like it was slightly more tricky than needed to be - last thing you need on track is thinking about working around niggles.
@@JWxUK I’ve fitted a quick shift and made the lever tiny which means it’s super close to all the gears. Not ideal in going to extend lever so it has better throw and there’s less chance of grabbing the wrong gear
