Ford Orion MK2 White Ghia, 1.4 on the log book but the engine has been converted to a S2 Escort RS Turbo 1.6. The engine is a smoothe rnning engine, no knocks or problems. Hits boost perfectly, currently running at 10psi. Very reliable engine, most recent problem that hasnt be resolved yet is the engine ignition coil, not working atall, causing no spark leaving the engine to not run, very cheap to fix though. When the engine was converted it was converted into a lower millage engine. The shell its self has done over 100,000 miles. little bits of rust on the rear drivers side arch, rear passenger side arch was done for M.O.T last year, this little bit of rust will not fail the M.O.T. For the M.O.T you may need 4 new tyres, the ones on it right now aren't brilliant. The car is currently stripped out but i have all the interior to go back in apart from the roof lining. I stripped it out for better performance and handling. The car was weighed last year at 740 kilos. Very good paint work, very good for its age.
Bad point
- No M.O.T ran out on the 6th January 2012
- Tax runs out February 2012
- Headlights are dodgy ( no dipped beam ) common fault, cheap to repair.
- Has still got 1.4 breaks on because i didnt have enough time to sort them out.
- Passenger CV boot due to forceful acceleration
- No stereo or wiring loom because of the boost gages and to save a little more weight.
- Engine mounts are worn due to the talk of the engine.
- Cracked rear bumper
Modification
- T3 Stage 2 Turbo
- Samco hosing
- 1.8 Diesel van gear box ( amazing torque, ratios)
- Full straight through - scorpion 4inch tailpipe
- K&N air filter
- Manual boost bleed valve - 10psi
- 30mm lowering springs
- mudflaps
- JDM style front splitter (cable tied)
- RS Turbo anti roll bar
- New exhaust gasket and fuel filter
- BHP - Owner estimate 160 + torque 170
Very rapid car, outraced a Civer Type R supercharged , Clio 172 and a 170bhp Glanza and many more.
The reason im selling this car is because i need a more economical car for work. I love this car to bits and i dont want to sell it but my job has become more important to me. I've owned this car for 2 and a half years and its done me proud and i've loved doing every modification myself. I also helped fit the RS turbo lump with the help of a ford specialist garage. i payed £1,200.00 for this engine but unfortunatly i cant provide a reciept as i worked at the garage at the time it was fitted.
If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ring me on
