The Escort has a very big place in my heart, this car tought me basically everything I know today.I had this car for 3 years and every single day something new was tested developed and tested to improve its performance, both engine and suspension wise.

This car tought me a very very important thing, reliability comes first, not those last 10 or 50 hp more.Simply all the failures and being towed home tought me that when you build a high performance car you HAVE to be hysterical with attention to detail.

During my learning curve with this car I blew up some 3 engines and had more than 8 headgasket failures.Several times I had had enough and just wanted to get rid of the car, but something just kept me trying to solve whatever problem which occurred, the car was simply a dream whilst running correct.The blown head gaskets was the worst nightmares because of the magnitude of work required to fix it every time.In the end I became hysterical I simply contacted various race engine builders how to overcome this problem but no one ever gave me information I needed.

In the end Bob from Rallyespares in UK came to the rescue and gave me a bullet proof recipe for a 500 hp engine, I built it and he was right, the engine just went and went, as in did not explode.

After some 15000 km I got bored with doing aerodynamic tweeking and fitting various suspension upgrades and thought about fitting a stand alone engine management system to try and squeeze out some more power.

I bought the Omex 500 and had no idea, I fitted it producing and even  produced my own wiring loom as well, after 10 days of intens testing and research on the net and reading various manuals I had full control of  programming an engine.Again I had to push the engine and learn the hard way and in the end melted a piston due to detonation.

After this, I kind of knew the boundaries of fuel and ignition tuning so I rebuilded the engine again and mapped the engine with new confidence.This was the last rebuild prior to selling it, by the time I sold the car it had done some 35000 reliable km’s in the car so I felt succesfull as I had reached a goal I had been dreaming of, I guess from the very beginning I knew within myself that one day I would eventually be able to build it correct.
