well here are my cars. my name is vic and im a lurker to the site.Im finally deciding to start posting. I have a 91 escort gt with a gtx motor that im parting out to start on a new platform.( my mx3). I picked up the mx3 for 550 and it runs great. just needs a new windshield and the rear cover where the spoiler goes.(currently looking for a v6 wing). I will eventually be swapping over my bpt from my escort into the mx3 but first im waiting for the sohc to blow up lol. its great on gas. Anyways on to the pics!
First.. my escort. you might have seen me on clubprotege. erdtonline. feoa. and even escortracing, ive been around for many years.

My STi its 04 and java black pearl.

My STi and MX3 chillin in front of my house

And last but not least , the mx3. im slowly swapping everything from my escort since im parting the escort out.

Hope you guys like my cars!. OH BTW my escort. it doesnt look like that anymore. Its getting stripped slowly

forgot to mention. If anyone wants to chat or anything. hit me up my AIM is Turboescort91
just alittle more info on my mx3. i swapped over my stock escort gt wheels and painted them gold and swapped the suspension over to my mx3 which are ground control coilovers with tokico s/r struts. and GTX front strut bar. The racing seats and matching rears are also off my escort. I need a v6 fron lip and V6 wing.

Hey man whats up

I used to own an escort and was all over the escort scene about 2 years ago.My username was Johnscort. i had the purple one slamed with a built 2.0L spi motor. Anyways glad to see you joined the mx3 community, and I have to say I love the rims. I have them on my mx3 coated in dark Bronze and wraped in Falken Azenis

Good look'n group of cars. I find the scooby an interesting mix when put next to the MX and Escort. The two types of cars are worlds away from each other from performance aspect. A guess the link is a turbo 4-

GL with the MX.

I think I might need to get a set of those

they look good! what size are they - 14" or 15"?

There 15's with the same offset as the mx3 ones. I think i',m gunna get a wheel spacer for mine because there sit to far in the wheel weels just like the stock mx3 ones.

So what is the story with the Escort, why did you take it off the road?

Escort91GTX · Post by **Escort91GTX** » July 27th, 2007, 11:53 pm

thanks alot guys!
i didnt like the way i did some things on the escort , there sum things i did to it that no1 knows about and i cut corners here an there with it. I just wanted to start all over with a clean shell. I am actually trying to find a v6 wing and hardware to install it since mine is missing the black trim on the back hatch where t he spoiler goes.What do you guys think about the install? is it worth drilling holes or whats to be done? Am i better off just getting the stock plastic trim for it instead of the wing?
Johnscort whats up i do remember you! good to see your on here.Im located in New Jersey of anyone ever wants to chill some time.
One more question. Anyone know the size of the stock exhaust piping on the mx3?. thanks!
