[quote="Roger Miller"]As u know i took it out in October.
Maybe back to track early this year, see what happens
must be time for a bit of an update eh Roger ????
whats the latest tricky bits ?? on your mk 1
or are you waiting for marky dunstan to
get his tricky engine back together ?
Without any spare cash the above was always gonna be.
Well, at the start of each year, I hope that car will get more use, however ,usually the opposite................ and some will say "why at new year"
Probably back in 2006ish, I pieced nearly all the engine parts together to build the "new one"
Under 2 liter, 5.4 inch rod, P5 cam, with one of my MK 4 heads
And then I stated looking at a head what I could do....I don't have a flow bench and was not prepared to make one, though i could use a mates but that meant more R+D and even more time..........
.....and what was available..............and decided to get one made.
Now the guy I chose really didn't want to do it, let alone had the time too.
However I stuck with him.
I thought this bottom end is not really gonna be good enough, for this head.
So I shelved, the above bottom end and embarked on ordering custom rods and pistons from US. Crower Ultralite 5.7" rods more CP pistons, with a bigger bore. etc
And right at the moment, the car and all these parts, are in storage/limbo due to other priorities.
However, there is light at the end of a long tunnel

Don't now about you, but I have to set myself a target - something tangible, not just a date marked on a calendar. A particular race meeting or event that I want to run. If I leave it open it will never happen.
Understand the bit about other priorities though. Life's always a compromise
Hey roger,
beautiful looking car , currently slowly working on building my own Improved production escort but a four door just to be really different,
in early body work faze atm will have to throw some pics up.
Looks like you have a genuine weber linkage hooked up? I just bought one from burton, Can i ask how you sorted the throttle cable? They tell me you can use a std one? I dont see how.
with those gonzo's i remember looking at nevs when his rs was in peices seemed to have a few slip on joins not weled all the way around .. would this play with o2 sensor readings ??
They are a double slip joint which seal very well and don't seem to effect any O2 readings but with the new sets of pipes he's managed to get them together qithout anything lacking
Wanted a better seat. Started getting worried about head/neck/spine etc as I had an issue, prior.
Wanted lateral head restraint, with my 6'3" frame.
Went for fat ass seat in anticipation ?
Also to create more lateral support of seat.
This is only seat that would do me.
Most escort owners will be familiar with the offset/angled steering wheel.
I have always tried to center wheel with seat whilst moving wheel as far left as I could. This was very easy with last seat.....but a real fight with this one and still didn't get it as far as oldun.
In fact it was looking pretty grim at getting this in at all.
I remade the left seat support, bent the other way, so to follow contour of gearbox tunnel, somewhat.
I also wanted more rake, so added to brkts.
I mounted the bars way down, to give more lateral support, via floor.
Ive ended up with a fair few holes, over the years, to plug.
Also this seat is approx twice the weight of the old steel framed one that was in there.
