S,
Not alot of time at minuteMy Mk2r is Being Prepared for Paint and soon wil be painted. rough 4-5 weeks Prep then paint.
Thses car is never out of my sight, she goes I go too.

I am not doing it my self, can paint but want it 110%.

But I am there every day working with them and "The Big Pointy fingure" is advicing on the way .

I have 3 hour return drive every day so late home and havent had much time to sort more. but Illtry get a few from the start, when i got the car.


Richie,

Thaks for you nice complents and I understand where your coming from Your like of BDG, PInto,etc
My car is a modren Modified Mk2 . I need Good Reliable ?with Power higher twards top of the 2 litre engine? Most Cost effective/engine to Rally for the frist year.
So the Honda S2000 come top of any engine.
And then When and after that years Rallying and hopefully driving improved, Install 2.5 litre Millinton Diamond.

If it wasnt for Pinto Cross Flows and of Course the BDA,G and even the old REd Top vauxhall Powering ESCORT for 30 years.

I wont have the interest in MK2s and putting in a Honda Engine. Hat off
But I know what is to like and engine All I cans say Fare play to you . If it Floats your boat then thats the one for you. Everyone has different experiance and view,

But neither have I around when those engines when have been used in Rally cars, I work Today with the Modren Modied MK2, using Modren Engines to get power easier and the engines are Lighter , So that my influence.



I appreciate people who have grown up and had fun and reiablity from Pinto's . Many of my older friend have them and Love them and They modivate me , with their Passion. Iam not saying age is anything to do with it.

Thank Richie, It people like you who Keep the Mk2 Alive.

s2000 is the way to go, done the conversion myself to my own group 4 escort, performs better than my 8k redtop and cossies ive had in the past. People wont like to admit it but its a superior engine to all the older stuff which you have to spend thousands on. Stick with the s2000 and upgrade that if you want more power later on

S2000 Honda is the most Reliable and cost effective , for max power

s2000 is the way to go, done the conversion myself to my own group 4 escort, performs better than my 8k redtop and cossies ive had in the past. People wont like to admit it but its a superior engine to all the older stuff which you have to spend thousands on. Stick with the s2000 and upgrade that if you want more power later on

Thanks for your confirmation Jonnie,
Good to see an other who has tried and compared, the power, costs and reliablity. And made the wise , Smart money choice.

I too have done my research basee on the above it head on top of the rest. Also it the fastest 2 liter in a mass Producted car to start with 235 bhp. Good start. S2000 Won Best engine 6 year in a row.
Munguen Hoda F1 arm of Honda Motorsport designed it and it a has Full Race internals standard, Steel Billot Crant , Forged Rods and Pistion.

Its Honda and 100% reliable, you dont have open and rebuild it, just drop into car. The engine you modify costs more and reasonable chance of blowing up and £10,000 gone. £ 2000 for an s2000 withe 3,000 miles.

It s diffentiallly the Winning choice 260bhp and 175 ft/Torque.Rev to 9,500 -10,0000. Japanese BDA or BDG.

Give me a shoute again.

Brendan

That will do me for the frist year Rallying or so until driving up to able to drive more power then 2.5 Diamond .

Or possile 2.4 K Series Honda 310bhp, cheaper too , for power output.

Has any on got a youtube link or video of an s200 escort? Would love to hear the sound!!!

Haters? All I said was it wasn't the same, thats not negative, it's just a fact. Never said it was shit. It lookes well before, it looks well now. In fact, I always preferred standard tarmac arches over McRae ones, so hey **** you too :winka:
