    Shawns 95 Escort GT

    I bought a 95 GT a few years back cause i saw it and it had all the things i wanted. Power windows, 7 spokes, and a moon roof. I had to buy it because my brother told me if i didn't he would. So it came home with me.







    It sat for a while because it had tranny problems. It drove but the tranny was on the way out and i couldn't change the fluid because of the speedo gear being stuck to the tranny. So i got a trans from mantrans in florida and the headache began. They sent me a bad tranny from the beginning. So they shipped me another one. I got it finally got the car from the shop and 15 miles later the trans broke. So about 6 months later I finally get a working trans from them and some of my money back.

    Well it came with Tokico Blue shocks and intrax springs on it. So i didn't have to do anything to the suspension. I put my OZ racing rims on it and just drove it like that.

              I entered the zoom zoom boom club when my diff pin went through the bellhousing.







              Then my boy andy/Martiniac hooked me up with a tranny and back on the road i was.

                So i was rolling boosted and was having small problems here and there so i started to upgrade stuff. Got the borg warner select distributor cap. and the autozone rotor button.





                Got a wideband



                Wideband in action
                embed width="448" height="361" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent" src="http://i9.photobucket.com/player.swf?file=http://vid9.photobucket.com/albums/a57/bomdoutscort/DSCN0994.flv">
                Made a 2.5inch catback exhaust with a magnaflow resonator to a ractive muffler. I already had a 2.5 inch to the cat.

                          not to get farther off topic, but the boost cut i think is the afm hitting a certain voltage, why not maybe go to 460s and tighten the hell out of it to make up for the extra fuel... i know i read on the nz forums how theyve gotten over it...


                          and sorry zex but pumers already waiting for me to get my ms back to pull it for him... hes gonna move with his new toys....lol....

                            Yo i'd snag up an extra bp26 just incase the ms starts acting up again and just take it easy on it.
