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.

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??!!

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

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...

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

      The final part arrived today to un-clampify and simplify the intake Who would have though a 1/2" hose stainless bulkhead fitting designed for below waterline bilge pumps would be what I needed Test fit on a 3" offcut I had laying around to see if it would work, and it worked a treat All going well the intake will be on its "final version" tomorrow

      R32 GTS (RB20DE) Injectors Replacement

      By GabsReDeal · Posted

      I checked the injectors again (1 and 2, since they’re easiest to access) to make sure they weren’t clogged. Even though the entire fuel system had been cleaned, I wanted to be certain. Everything looked clean, so I reinstalled and connected everything. When I started the car to confirm everything was okay, it immediately revved up high, so I shut it off straight away. I checked to see if I’d missed a vacuum hose or something, but everything was connected. On the second attempt, the car ran without the high idle, but I noticed a distinct “compressed air” sound coming from the engine bay. Tracing the sound, I pushed injector #6 forward slightly and the noise stopped — it turned out it wasn’t seated properly, despite the fuel rail being bolted down. While holding it in place, the car idled steadily without stalling and ran for over 5 minutes. At this point, I pulled all six injectors out just in case I hadn’t seated them correctly or dirt had gotten onto the O-rings. Unfortunately, I discovered that I had damaged 3 out of 6 injectors (the OEM 270cc ones) during installation. So yes, this was my fault. Since only the pintle caps were damaged, I’ve ordered a Fuel Injector Service Kit from NZEFI to refurbish them. In the meantime, I reinstalled my new injectors – the car now idles fine for over 15 minutes without stalling. I have not attempted to drive it so far. It’s not perfect yet, as it hesitates when the throttle is pressed, but it’s a big improvement. Unplugging the IACV with the new injectors idles at around 800rpm, even with the IACV screw tightened fully. But this is probably due to tune.
