I hate to rain on that one guys picnic but since when do Mercedes Benz SL500's come with V-12's? And they don't cost $100k. If he is stock or nearly stock that 500SL would eat his ass alive, but if he had a turbo on his escort I could see it happening differently. Still those things should run high 13's if its a newer 500SL. The 600SL is the V12 and its capable of low 13's.

Re: Escort kill stories!!

umm A 500 SL is worth $150,000 i CDN funds, so they are damn close to 100,000 in US loonies.
 
yeah

High 13's ain't bad for an Escort :D

I've seen them go from high $80's to low $90's. The 600SL goes for $110k around here.

Re: @#%$

have to jump in and say a little, im russ (i own the erdt board)
mysta's kills are more than likely genuine, the escort was built on the mazda 323, protege platform, ford stuck us with crappy engines, mazda however did not :)
chris (mysta316) swapped in a 200+,-hp jspec mazda 323 gtx motor a few months ago. theres actually a couple of those swaps on our board (the engines can be a pain to get ahold of or there would undoubtedly be more)

as for the benz, thats why the forum states be prepared to defend any kill.... some guys have high hopes, like to tell big stories, etc.... but you get that everywhere. ive "raised the flag" a few times myself, its kinda hard being the owner, but you have to know where to draw the line.

to see how bad ford screwed us just in our little community look up info on european cosworths, sierra's and rs series escorts, or australian ford lasers, the u.s. market is the only one that didnt get a turbo awd escort. :(

s/c's are also pretty fun cars, my brother owned one for a year or so til our garage burnt down, lost about 2 grand in mods, the car, and 4 grand worth of stereo equipment....it was sad to see all of it go, still hurts a little because i installed the stereo, and halg of it was less than a week old.

Re: @#%$

The guy claiming the kill on the Benz says it wasnt in his excort. According to what he says, it was with one of his Acuras or Hondas.
 
Re: Escort kill stories!!

Russ.....I truely didn't want this to be a bash session...please understand that I had good humor intentions....nothing more.

My very first car was a 1981 Ford Escort Wagon :lol: .....very reliable car except that ford in that year didn't allow enuff clearance between the pistons and valves.....when the rubber timing belt broke.....needless to say....I had to do some work on the engine!

So that question I posted will be my daily driver, I just need to get the situation fixed or find the correct answer to fix it. Thanks for the escort board, I'm sure I will be asking more questions at your house!!!

Thanks,
Calvin
 
Re: Escort kill stories!!

At least my brother gave up racing his Berretta and bought an SC. Four months later and he's selling off the ULTRA HOT Indy Pace Car Berretta.

****sentence about curing ignorance deleted due to it sounded like bashing****

Have fun with what you got, but don't go overboard.

Re: Escort kill stories!!

lol hahahaha lol looks like my sisters car but red!!HOTT ROD
 
Re: Escort kill stories!!

a friend of mine used to have a sunrise red 95.... :x :x :x

sunrise red = pink! :x
 
Re: Escort kill stories!!

My 95 Escort was killed last year
Spun out in the snow struck a telephone poll had to put it to rest killed at 2:00am after party
 
Re: Escort kill stories!!

sunrise red is very hard to find in good shape, was it a 2 door?
sunrise and the cayman green were only used on something like 3000 cars a piece.

anyway, no offense taken, etc, etc.....

and if all else fail i might suggest swapping a 2.0 from a later escort for S&G (that and 22 hp) or the motor chris is running can be obtained from www.corksport.com

id put money on you just wanting to get it fixed so id say start with the electrical system, fuel system next, i believe to somewhat answer your question your wagon should also be DIS all escorts from 91 up were supposed to be, but ford liked to do weird s### with the cars, there are something like 20 different cams in the 1.9 alone, most are not interchangeable . . . . wtf?

also check the faq for ghetto mods to do on them, 89 escort gt's had a 4-2-1 header on them, get em at a junkyard for 75 bucks sometimes less :) bolts right on.

commuting or not, a car with atleast a little spunk is a must.

Re: Escort kill stories!!

yeah it was a 2 door, it got totalled after he gave it to his older sister.
 
Re: Escort kill stories!!

Ya know.....
I think he's for real....
I posted on their BBS and now there is pictures of the car up on it. Please go check it out guys. Remember, an Escort doesn't weigh much so any power you add will really haul some serious a$$. I always wanted to make an Escort really haul. The ultimate in sleeper......I just could never find a catapult big enough :lol:
Serioulsy.........go take a gander. It really is quite a piece.
 
Re: Escort kill stories!!

Was gonna keep quiet but when he called our cars "Lard ass cars" I just can't keep my mouth shut, even if he was provoked.

YOU CAN'T POLISH A TURD!!
