Roughly about slightly $120 bucks would cost you for the thing supplied and fitted. The remote kind, if i'm not wrong. Alvin in willetton would prolly do you for that price i'd think.

Why would you need an immobiliser in the Escort? I rekon if you left it in the middle of the city, with the window down, keys in the igniton and engine idling it would be safe from theives

Just kidding Tom. I assume this is your new bunky?I have not had an immobilser fitted in years, however i reckon dont go anything less than a push button. The press in type are pretty crap and annoying. We get customers cars all the time with the cheap type and they are soooo annoying.

Thats what a basic basic basic cheap one is though, just a 'key' you press into the dash.... Don't worry Brad the Escort won't be getting a Bilstein kit installed any time soon

I ticked 'NO' on the transfer papers , so they sent me a letter saying I had to get one.... I would happily leave it without one if it weren't for my stupidity. Can I just say that I got one fitted?

Willeton is a bit far for me, probably keep it around Joondalup/Whitfords area if I have to get one...

Ive had several cars that i ticked YES to immobilsers fitted. IF they need a receipt, get one dodgeyed one up. It will only be an issue if it does get stolen and you want to claim insurance as they will say no to your claim.

I have a guy........ If you know what i mean.

So no bilstein kit at all???? How about Koni coilovers then? lol Sawybars, bushes, coils?????

I seriosuly reckon we can make it get a faster lap time around barbagallo :laughing-smiley-014:

[Topaz]

Cool, I will dodge them then.

I wanna do SOMETHING with suspension but it will be shocks only because it has..... *cough*........ leaf springs! Rusted leaf springs I can fit my index finger and thumb around the tyres as well

It only has a 1.6L KENT engine though, if I was gunna race it I would want an RS engine or a 2L PINTO.

got pics of ya little beast??

[Topaz]

Surely

2 old lady owners 98,000 on the clock (only problem with that is these old Escorts don't go over 100,000)

Licenced (for 2 weeks, but still, no pits check)

Stereo (tape deck and 2 rear 6"inchers)

Engine serviced as regularly as the old bettys memory could go back, oil filter looks very new as do the spark plugs

Compression & Oil rings done in the engine 2 years ago (BIG PLUS!)

y'know with basic sump mods you can slot a 4AGZE into these things?

seems in bloody good nick for its age though.

As a side not, immobilisers are only compulsory in cars less than 25 years old.

I found that out when I bought a Datsun Sunny that was 25 years and 2 months old.

Cool, and this thing is 28 years old

I used t own a 2DR with my dad a few years ago and that had the 2L PINTO motor, but was auto. We sold it to a guy that puts those toyota motors in them. I remember him saying he puts Supra gearboxes in them as well.

RB30!!

you would need a gear ratio of about 0.0000001 to get traction, but fun none-the-less.

[MRO]

Hold on! i own a mark 1 escort with sr20det. Runs 12's down the quarter and likes to spin the wheels at 100k plus.

As for suspension i have bilstein coilovers up front and koni adjsutable shocks all round, whitleine sway bar, short ratio steering rack. r33 calipers on 300mm cross drilled disks, Borg Warner LS

As for the imobiliser , why not install a cheapo battery cut off switch and tell em the job is done.

i wanna drop my 33 gear into a escort now..

MKI for the win, you know you want to.... will be much lighter.

I have no speakers at work but this thing corners beautifully flat

[bubba]

You should have ticked the YES box mate heh.. oh and RaceTune is like 100m from my house, they build some badass escorts and I constantly hear them tuning some really rude pieces of machinery

But a bunky is a bunky.. about the most I'd do is weld the diff up for a bit of fun on the winter commutes

Speakers would not have helped you....unless you speak german? lol

My mate is building an Escort at the moment. Mk2 with mexican wide body kit. Hopefully it will be ready for the track before christmas.

Up in joondaulp at strafield, I think a basic immbo is like $99.

Hope this helps Tom.

Mike

P.S dont know how you are going to cope going from the monster Escort to the Plain GTR,

[Topaz]

[Ashy Larry]
