Just landed this bad boy as my towing and daily driving vehicle

70bhp, yes 70bhp cosworth derived turbo diesel engined powerhouse...

0-60 in an estimated 14.2 seconds

Mods: 4 wheels (with hubcaps), 8 windows (all intact), internal seating for occupants, ICE (takes cassettes and also has radio, awesome...) and a towbar

On the upside its MOTd for a year and has all the major work done

Feel free to extract the urine :p

We all know which car ruled the road young chunky - 2.0 8v (or is that 1.2) Nova's would never keep up with 185bhp and 300lbs of derv muscle!!

perhaps if he put a 2.0l 8v in the escort, insured and taxed it as a derv it would make him hard and therefore cool in some peoples eyes though :relieved:

Reminds me of my Orion track weapon, except it didn't have a blower - 60bhp and 60 flashed up in 17 seconds.

All you need now is a whaletail and people will think it's a Cosworth.

Yours must be a higher spec then, my engine was from a cement mixer.

lol at least it saves the good car from getting the back bumper butchered.

Don't turn the boost up too much - you'll blow the intake manifold;)

yes its when the derv hits peak torque, (usually around 700rpm?) it causes other cars to get unsettled and thrown off the road because there is so much torque ....

but less hijacking! good wee motor..need something sensible myself for the winter with a dildo on the back as well!
