pure porn mate owned 2 mk1 sports 1300e and a 1976 rs mexico i wish i could own on again from a classic ford nutter with a scoob:confused::D

lol cheers fellas yes reading right m8.should be more once full boost map sorted out.faster enough as it is tho tbh

Love it :D

What's it weigh - well under 1,000kgs I am guessing?

Very nice!! I am a closet old Ford fan.Get some more pics up.

it weighs about 840kilos i think,and runs a 3.09 diff ratio still as i am thinking of doing a top speed run in it than swapping back to a 3.77 for better track use tbh.off to nurburg ring for 3 days on the 1st of october then doing a trackday at spa on the 4th october on the way back.hopefully it survives lol.cheers for all the coments tho fellas.will find more pictures of it and post thanks again

What kind of power is the blue x-pack Mk2 running, that looked a right weapon.
