Not sure if this has been posted up already?? Taken from Ken Block racing...

"Wanting to broaden his rally skills, the Euro-only-spec 1978 Ford Escort MK2 helps him let loose in a few non-Rally America Championship events. Don't let the vintage shell fool you under the hood sits a 2.4-liter, four-cylinder Millington engine that boasts 280 BHP. Couple that with a WRC-styled paddle shifting, six speed sequential gearbox and you have one fast vintage rally car."



Ken Block and Chris Atkinson test drive the escort

Ive had no problems with my brant yet, apart from the other day when it was making a strange noise while driving
turned the car off then back on and it fixed that!

It didnt really create any headaches for me, except the hi-jack feature can be annoying at times. The audio installer who did some work on the car, mentioned he could basically disable the alarm in 10 minutes for me.. not the best thing i wanted to hear.... and then i washed the engine bay.. and killed the siren.. driving through the cbd of brisbane with a car alarm that wont turn off = embarassment..

Ok. My auto box is dying. I would like to know how much its going to cost me to manual convert. I am doing it myself. Oh and if I do a mines ecu will be up for sale for anyone with an auto TT. Could be a fun summer project.

you can turn anti-hijack off.

[buddylove]

Really, i didnt think you could. I thought the manual even stated that its a permanent feature. im prolly wrong though. But.. brant has been ripped out.. and my horn finally works, and the airbag light is gone... Windows are being tinted tomoz.

[Ericmcg]

Mmm sounds nice

And I don't actually mind the school holidays because it makes a big difference on the traffic here. Maybe theres the solution to congestion problems....just get rid of the kids

Myself? Had a quiet one as I have a big weekend coming up. I just worked and stayed at home and watched Bathurst. LOVE Bathurst - haven't missed one since I started watching it when I was 8-years old But its nothing like it use to be...

I have been watching it for years over here to.

I watched the first half live up until about 3.30am in the morning, by then was really pissed and falling asleep, watched the rest yesterday, Mount Panorama is one of the very few great race tracks left in the world that the health and safety nazi's have not ruined.

i recently bought a "manual conversion kit" which was from a 2002 AUDM WRX for $2800. You could probably do better if you hunt around though

[robt]

Its an interesting one. It may be cheaper to get my box rebuilt but with stronger internals.

[Alex]

there's someone on RSLC trying to sell a built box

Cammy_J you are the man. Plugged that RAM card thingos in this morning, and my god. My god. I must ask though, noticing that there are two slots with the old one in, and I've just replaced one in each computer, can I just order the exact same again and go nuts? Or will it max something else out somewhere first? As you can tell, I am a computer technician from way back.

[buddylove]

ohhh yeah!!



tint is done.

[skillionaire]

Looking smooth.
