It was bought from the original owner with a race career in mind, however it had to wait until I purchased it to become a racecar. The car is being set up to eventually run in improved production spec. The motor is a 1600 pushrod with twin 45mm Weber carbies. The bottom end is as bought so i have no idea of its specs, but it sees 7500-8000rpm regularly. Front suspension is shortened capri struts with double adjustable Koni shocks, Mk2 Escort brake calipers and Capri vented rotors. Rear brakes are standard Mk2 Escort drums. We currently run 175/60 tyres on 13x7 rims, anything bigger and the guards would need to be stretched a bit. Recent additions are a 5.1 LSD, 5 speed sierra gearbox and some Bilstein rear shocks.
