Love the owner love the car , I have never took to 4 doors but this one looks bloody amazing and looks incredibly dangerous or should I say fun ! I would wrap that around a lamp post if I owned it for sure !
Worth the wait Owen 🙏😎👍 OMG ! What an absolute weapon mate ! Sick sick build ! 🙏 total respect to the owner 🔥👍. These builds are what we want more of, these are proper cars ! None of this boring new stuff ! And that noise of the sequential ❤️❤️❤️ ! Sick sick build . Thankyou for sharing guys , legends 😎
Hi guy's..... this has to be the most raw power car ever on the channel, its just fabulous and looks so so quick..!! The gearbox/changes sound mental for gods sake..!!!! More (if there are anymore other please)..!!! Thanks Rob, for giving us a treat, brilliant build mate.. Alex.
Love watching you guys , some of the talent you find and show is unreal,and then you just pop this on like it's the norm this is one of those rare finds where the build is flawless and something we all aspire to,this is the true face of Built not brought. Would love to see an extended run of this like flat out lol. Cracking vid guys
Blimey that's almost a 1 to 1 power to weight ratio, and I must say this is what you call a car no electronics just you the car and the throttle, I bet this thing is something else with a sequential gearbox 😍🔥🔥💨💨
I love it. A dream car of mine would be a true 1:1 escort. Something like 1100kg with fuel and driver with 1100hp and 1100 torques. Road holding suspension, outrageously powerful brakes.
Omg lovely motor, classic beast, back when we was growing up we use to rally these around the fields, should have garaged them, 700 bhp holy moly, well done on building this beauty. 🔥🔥🔥
Love a mk2 just my childhood right there haha my dad has a rs2000 but been converted to flat front with monte carlo arches caged a 230bhp redtop on twin 55 webers. Just 👏
Your comments were pretty much my comments on the mad mile,going to the motor show where you hooked up with Rob talking about a future vid. Not ever going to forget that. Only thing faster was my fitbit blaze heart rate watch. I'm his father in law and iv subscribed to channel. Keep up the good work
One of the brothers that own Philip Paul Car Center had a Honda S2000 engined MK2 about 16 years ago at their unit in Welshpool that they used for stage rallying. It was a absolute beast of a machine and beautifully engineered.
Absolutely brutal! You feel the power so much more in older cars. Well done fellas a class watch! I’ve a 602 bhp cosworth Powered 2 door mk1 😉 it’s quick but that car is another level!
@@MotorAddicts do you have an email mate? I will make contact with you through the week! I’ve got a few tricks down here you may want to take a look at!
I've always had superbikes but I love that escort. Looks the bollocks. Reminds me of my of my old dads escorts. Sadly 1.6 and no where near the go, but that looks amazing and can go some. Beautiful work of art, mate good effort.
Love the red car closing the drivers window while they were at the lights. Lovely car. My sister's first car was a "MK2 Popular". A pity she crashed it lol.
This is unreal, im from aus and a pommy mate of mine had a 2 door mk2 with an sr20 swap, he sold it and now making another. But this is mental. Just found your channel and love it mate love the presenting too keep sending it mate🤙
My best mate bought a lime green 4 door mkII back in 96 drove it up to Scotland from England no insurance no license or Mot with a badly rusted chassis 😂, was absolute wreck, but he painstakingly restored it to the point it was primed ready to paint. Someone came along offered him 4k for it and he took it. A few years later he was kicking himself when the price of them skyrocketed
Last weeks was bonkers, this weeks makes that look like stock! Wow! 800bhp? Is it possible to get and actually use it? I saw a few Escorts for sale and in good nick, they are over £35k and above. So with all the mods and engine swap, this is a good price. Love to see it drag race.
I'm guessing it's 50 000 pounds . I grew up with escorts in Australia had a mk 2 with square headlights. If I had the money i would buy it. It's absolutely insane. Well done mate i love it
mental car. check the yesterdays video i uploaded. i saved the abandoned helicopter everyone on the street was looking weird seeing that loaded on a truck :P
Happy to see the data but not buying "internet says" on the 4 door being lighter than a 2 door...The difference isn't going to be huge but there's more hardware in a 4 door! Stiffness is debatable. Very serious bit of kit, big numbers & an even bigger rpm range. What torque does it make & what's the peak power RPM?

Same with the 4 door e-36.. stronger and lighter. Love the Escort!! I had a 78 rs 2000 replica with golf arches. 174hp. Rest In Peace…😂😂😂 it was in 98, if I didn’t wreck it I would have made a lot of money if I sold it now..😢😂😂
when the drive started i knew the area as the drive started i was thinking he went the wrong way but im glad he took you mad mile as probs the best place to get a feel for the car... do they still burn out the speed cameras ? lol

Hi, out of curiosity, if someone came to you with a large budget would you custom build a motor for them?
