My autocross beater
Bought this 91 escort GT for $400 a while back then decided to paint it championship white. For those of you that don't know it has basically the same motor as a 1.8 miata. I added parts for autocross (STS, I won't bore you with the mod list) and raced / daily drive it. I won the championship in STS and STS tarmac rally this year (my club, not nationals, we aren't part of the SCCA we just use their rules), but I'm bored of racing the car so I'm going to build a turbo miata for street mod. Hope you guys enjoy the pics

It never occurred to me that an escort could own in autocross.

It's built on the same chassis as the protege and 323 and it comes with a BP. |
three wheelin in AX pretty much makes it bad ass.

Yea buddy! You should turbo that shit.

Yeah I agree. It would just be badass to see a turbo escort. I usually don't like fords, but there are those exceptions with mazda power plants ;) (probe gt, escort gt, ect)
Clean escort though.:bigtu: |

i still have a soft spor for EGTs. i was actually going to do either an EGT motor swap or the turbo KL out of my probe gt in our old 95 lx wagon, well untill my dumbass sister fliped it.
my friend that i sold my first SHO taurus too still has a 93 wagon with a BP swap in it. |

ZOMG your car is faster than my escort with less than 1/2 the power and a build specific to a fairly limited class on street tires? Not much gets past you does it?
There's no need to come "pwn" me in my own thread just because I called you out for being an irresponsible jackass in another one. Nice ride... I know, you should be able to run around with your busted as escort with blown struts, but my car is irresponsible because it actually doesn't handle like a PIG. Yes, my car actually can corner flatly without lifting it's leg to pee in a turn. Mark |

Yea buddy!! Escort GT build is in my near future plans.. I've got bigger fish (well, smaller car actually) to fry first.
Doing a 1.8GT swap into a 1992 Festiva. Plan on bone stock engine with about 7psi. 180fwhp + 1700 pound car == Fun! |

:bowrofl: Hmm I wonder what aspects of the miata's chassis makes it so it won't lift the rear tire and an escort will.
P.S. I replaced the struts after that race Can a moderator please remove his posts from my thread? Sorry I couldn't resist... and you'll just have to look at my car a little longer. Mark https://www.miataturbo.net/gallery/f.../img_0104t.jpg |
