Hi just thought I would introduce myself my name is duncan I own a 1990 H reg cabriolet when it was new was a 1.6i
when I bought it the spec was as follows
escort cosworth illusion bumpers front and rear
rs turbo side skirts and bonnet
rs turbo engine
white gti wheels
evo rear spoiler
blue sparco bucket seats
lowered about 80mm (was stupid )(just cut the springs !!!!!!!!)
had made the rear speaker mounts larger to fit 6x9 speakers and covered them in a blue felt like material
that was 2003

since then I have
changed shocks and springs to g max (think its 25 or 40mm)
got rid of the bucket seats and fitted original set of seats to match rest of trim
had wheels powder coated silver
removed rs turbo engine and fitted 2.0 litre zetec on bike carbs and megajolt
pushing out about 175 bhp

things planned
have a half leather interior recaro front seats to fit afer they have been re trimmed
decide if i am goint to have the large speaker mounts re trimmed or go back to the standard size ones
also torn between keeping the cosworth illusion kit r try to sorce a set of rs turbo bumpers and normal rear wing

hope to get to some of the shows this year but plann to go to more next year work permitting
below are some photos feedback good or bad let me know nice to get some opinions

hi yes I fitted the carb's ticks over lovely have re jetted them and had it set up on a rolling road

I have a couple of classic ford's running on bike carbs
pop plus fiesta with a 1.8l zetec in it (will be featured in performance ford next month)
and a p100 again with zetec in it granada cosworth back axle

yeh its pretty clean one of previous owners covered the car in waxoil inside dors and stuff so this has kept the rust at bay

Hi and welcome to the club!! I am not the right person to ask about a modded car, I like original, but it looks smart and if you like it that way, thats all that matters!!

Hope to catch you at a show, you are more than welcome to join the stand.
