just think of all the fun you can have wiv the scoob though

 

More fun fixing Scoobys surely ,

 

Just think of all the fun you can have with a 150bhp rear wheel drive Mk2 Escort

 

Been there and done that, also wiv MK1 MEXICO and then onto a SIERRA COSWORTH, and NOTHING beats the scoob in my opinion.

 

I agree, have driven a Mexico, 3dr Sierra Cosworth and an Escort cosworth, and I do prefer a scoob, but I'm a classic Ford man at heart

 

Well, that part is more satisfying. Has to be, I don't get paid to work on my car

 

Given half the chance, i would swap my scoob for a ST220 Mondeo, obviously in the blue pack, looks soooooo nice, and has more legroom than my scoob.

 

Got to admit it, I agree with you again, it definately is a nice looking car, subtle bodykit and big wheels to set it off!

I had a Mondeo Ghia X V6 and that was great to drive, though loads of torque steer!

 

Paul, just out of interest when was the last time you drove a quick Mk1 or 2?

Only wonder as I also would love another one, but it was over 20 years since I last owned one (MK2 RS2000, with grp 1 engine 180-190bhp and grp 4 suspension), and I do wonder if they really would still be good, especially after having driven a few quick modern cars?

 

My last one was a DIESEL 2.0 GHIA.....went like rocking horse, shame i blew the turbo and clutch on it, i might have still been driving it!

 

Last time I drove a modded Mk2 was 16 years ago, when I got my first car, a Modena green 1600 sport, (4-2-1 manifold, cherry bomb, Webber DGAV carb from a Sierra and K&N filter) at the time I thought it was rapid, until I saw another Mk2 (yellow) rag it onto the A13 from Tilbury southend bound and it left me for dead!!

 

Guess what colour mine was?

 

was it? lol

 

dont wana sound like a vulture .but has yours got a three wire red/black and white lambda that works .if it has could i borrow it and see if it sorts mine before i buy a new one

 

i think a really nice modded mk1 mk2 escort wld turn more heads now a days even if its not as fast as a scoob it will still be alot quicker than most cars (i think )

 

Scoob engine and running gear + Mk1 shell = a serious weapon

I wonder if its been done.

 

Not finished yet But its getting there slowly.

There's a couple of mk2's in Ireland I know of , sounds like fun .
My neighbor's got a mk2 mexico shell in the corner of his workshop I've been trying to buy for years

 

That workshop is an automotive goldmine

In general technical, a guy is putting a WRX engine with a converted 2 wheel drive box running through the rear wheels in a mk5 escort (if I remember correctly)

 

Ya vulture I'm going to try and sort the biatch out this weekend mate, so will need it

 

Oh yeah I subscribed to that thread ages ago. Forgot about it. Be good once its up and running.
