One is miles and one is kms?

[DRIFTT]

It isn't sourcing it is "Cut and Paste", dont know about your pricing just an extra 1,000 pounds for FOB fee but comment below on website is bothering.

"Is this car eligible for import?

Yes, we have checked this car and it is a model eligible for import under the SEVS compliance laws.

We have also allowed $4500 for compliance, which is a reasonably typical compliance price available for this particular model."

Have a look DOTARS LINK I dont see Ford Escorts on any workshops list as approved to comply.

[MattR]

yeah is miles to k's.

was just asking if price sounds reasonable. breakdown on the right of J-specs site seems to make sence. yeah i checked link but could not find it on the list either

There is a bloke that has escort Cossie compliance, but he stings hard, like 10k from memory.

Chalker Cosworth?

[BoyWhoCriedWolf]

^they are the only ones

[GODZ1LLA]

Doesnt look that good an example hey....

He has deleted how many owners it has had and it aint the lux model cossy, although the earlier ones had the bigger turbo..

On the other hand it is cheap ish but remember uk cars suffer badly with rot, especially escorts around the subframes petrol cap etc

And i aint heard of straight line performance before either (and i know a lot of car dealers in the uk, or have heard of a lot good or bad).

Not got full history on a car like that??!!

Why buy an escort when you can have:

A skyline ?

Not sure how recent that website is, but there's no-one listed on the RAWS site as having plates to do Escort or Sierra/Sapphire...

Edit: you beat me to it Nigel...

PS: My Focus RS application has been officially knocked back by DoTaRS under SEVS, so it looks like I have to take one for the team and take them on in court...should be fun!

What possible reason could they have for knocking that back ?

Are you sitting down? Apparently a 2-door version of a 4-door vehicle counts as a separate model, but this is a 3-door version of a 5-door model.

Of course, this didn't stop them already approving the EP3 Civic Type R, the N15 Pulsar etc etc...

All of which you will use to give them a legal bitchslapping I imagine ?

[Iron Chef]

Well the judge agreed with me last time I took them on, let's hope we get the same one

just be careful you don't end up getting them to overturn the EP3 TYPE R SEVS approval to make themselves consistent.....

[DRIFTT]

Chalker Cosworth?

They dont have approval no one does, it was under the old scheme over here in Perth from one guy for Australia.

You will see on there website "expected early December 2004" so a bit behind unless it is a pre 89.

One would hope it is more of a case of "precedent set".

[Ezy03]

soz to go off topic but does the jspec site lag a bit for anyone?

[Mr Eps]

yes it does - because there's so much data to load and pictures and info and translations and all sorts of crazy black magic mumbo jumbo hoo ha!

[Iron Chef]

Mine loads heaps fast - that's what happens when you build a site on a Commodore 64...
