RE: It's a ford - THE_Liam - 02-01-2014
There's a scrappy near my work that has an NSU RO80, I walk past it every day, keep meaning to get a photo but at either 8am or 6pm it's always dark...

Not at the minute no. Cheers anyway. On the scout for a dash but expensive
RE: It's a ford - THE_Liam - 02-01-2014
It was a big luxury saloon made from '67 to '77 with a Wankel rotary, extinct now because the company went bankrupt due to failing rotor tip seals and was absorbed into Audi. The Audi plant in Neckarsulm is the old NSU factory

RE: It's a ford - Craigus - 04-01-2014
Should look nice when its all fixed up and back together!
RE: It's a ford - karl1989 - 04-01-2014
I hope so
. Only mk3 escort around here I've seen apart from a cab
RE: It's a ford - Craigus - 04-01-2014
Yeah, dont think i have ever seen one!
RE: It's a ford - karl1989 - 04-01-2014
You will have. Hard to find a mk3 xr3 most are the 3i that's about but I prefer carbs
future is r1 carbs or as good as for a upgrade

Bahaha....you said wankel!
Seriously though, this is good looking project, and done right, will look fapping awesome when its finished! Gotta love an old Escort.
RE: It's a ford - THE_Liam - 05-01-2014
Dude when did you get a unit?
RE: It's a ford - mikey b - 05-01-2014
This is going to be good when done and bike carbs are a good upgrade
RE: It's a ford - THE_Liam - 05-01-2014
Zetec is a great upgrade for these...
RE: It's a ford - karl1989 - 05-01-2014
Got the unit yesterday mate. Still got the other garage too. Don't want to change the engine unless I get a rs turbo lump but that's a long shot. Getting it on ramps in a friends unit next weekend to have a look under neath
RE: It's a ford - THE_Liam - 05-01-2014
Mate of mine had a mk4 1.4LX few years ago, he bought a scrap 2.0 Zetec Mondeo for £150 and we converted it in a day using the stock ECU and some clever wiring, used the original box with an RS Turbo flywheel that cost £20 and a new clutch for £40, all in all it was less than £250...

back in the day before cd's, internet and mobile phones were the sizes of house bricks. I had to fit a manual choke back on mine too as the shite bi metalic thingy packed up. I remember as well they had that horrid ratchet system on the clutch pedal.
I had the whole peco BB4 system on mine and it sounded great.
Miss those days
