Since having my last blob WRX & having to sell it due to a change in career I have missed it (mainly the noise), I bought a Leon TDi to commute to work to start with & then after getting quite a good pay increase I decided that I didnt need a diesel so ended up buying an Audi 2.0 TFSi Quattro.
Had that for a few months until my boss decided to give me the pick of any car on our pitch to use & go on his insurance for pleasure use as well as bussiness. So with me not actually needing my own car I sold the Audi & put the money in the bank, It wasnt long until I had the urge to buy something to mess with so rather than having money in the bank I bought this. Attachment 42969 http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps4dzeuegc.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps8uy6nnm2.jpg When I bought it the car wasnt too bad but it did need things doing to it so I ended up spending quite a bit on it mechanically. At some point it had been re-sprayed but wasnt the best job & I had all intentions of having it re-painted. Since I bought the escort I literally went out in it 2 or 3 times, I was worried it would break down so I never really used it but just kept it in the garage. After a few months I got asked by Jake to go with him to pick up his new Impreza, After seeing it, Going in it & hearing how it sounded made me want another one again. So today this happened http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps1prkyb0y.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psvfclazvh.jpg A nice trip out later I ended coming back with this http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psctpzolxg.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psftgstcz5.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psyuxjgeyz.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps48nqm9bo.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...pshr6q278c.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psf7ryijl9.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...ps9xgxfmde.jpg |

Yep JDM hazard switch.
Well had the car mapped today & must say what a different car it feels, Love how responsive & the torque it has now. Had pops and bangs & launch control mapped in aswell just for a bit of fun. |
Since owning the car it has had a judder from the clutch on setting off so today I wet to cams performance & had a Exedy clutch & ligtened fly wheel fitted.
There were some groves in the old flywheel. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psyflfjyep.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psaoyzzlht.jpg Whilst it was in having the clutch done I thought I would treat it to some nice shiny bits as well. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...psrjshva6p.jpg http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...pszski35xy.jpg New strut brace & buddy club oil cap fitted. Also the JDM hazard switch finally got fitted. http://i30.photobucket.com/albums/c3...pszski35xy.jpg |
