I seem to hear that a lot. Don't know why though, I kinda like it. Do you have any recommendations? Preferably something a little more user friendly?

I have never really been a fan of Cardomain, its just a bunch of cars that normally arent that nice, and people who just kiss ass to get other people to kiss their ass and raise their rep.

That being said, everybody is entitled to their opinion. If they dont like your car, they have every right to say so....as long as they do it respectfully. You did post your car up on the internet, so you better be ready for people who dont like it. If you arent ready for that......stick on cardomain

 

[Caymanized]

Oh of course, as long as it's respectful and not: OMG UR ESCORT IS GRBG! Something along the lines of: "Well, I'm not normally a fan of Escorts, but I have a special respect for the amount of time and money you've put into it' is much much better in my opinion.

Would you believe that someone said they didn't know people modified escorts?? Pretty much the same engine as a Miata, minus the whole Transmission/Transaxle issue, and exhaust mani which is built for the Miata at a slight angle for rear exit exhaust.

To those that say kind words, and offer professional critique, Thank you very much!

Would you believe that someone said they didn't know escorts could be modified?? Pretty much the same engine as a Miata, minus the whole Transmission/Transaxle issue, and exhaust mani which is built for the Miata at a slight angle for rear exit exhaust.

So if you want to get some real compliments, do a RWD conversion.

Out of an S2k? That would be pretty sharp. AWD ftw tho.

has cardomain changed at all int he past decade?

 

[Caymanized]

Dunno... I'm pretty new at it.

 

[hooked_on4]

has cardomain changed at all int he past decade?

quick answer is no


To the OP i skipped around from beg to end of yours and it looked the same in the end as in the beginning, am I missing something here?

 

[Caymanized]

I guess so. It's supposed to look stock, but performs with an additional 35 BHP from the day I got it. Scratch that... more like 160 or so since it had no ponies when I bought it.

If it has the same engine as a Miata like you said, then why would you swap in an S2K drivetrain to achieve RWD??

160 MORE horsepower, or 160hp all together. And what mods exactly to you have that improved your engine output that much?

I don't know if you're being serious or not...

Ok, to clear this up, it had ZERO power when I found it because it was blown the F up and left in someones field to be picked clean of any and all valuable parts. I bought a new engine, and made it live again. It has roughly 160 BHP now because of the Cams, PnP, K-Code VAM, and timing advance.


Ok, I was confused, if I wanted to go RWD, I would use the entire drivetrain from a Miata, not an S2K, but I would much rather swap in the trans/diff out of a GTR/GTX and make it AWD.

Since a lot of people tend to under-rate Escorts, here is a list of swappable drivetrains that, if found, can make an Escort owner VERY happy. Keep in mind only the 2nd Gen (91-96) were made on the Mazda BG Chassis. Kind of a Frankenstein of sorts.

GTR FTW!
