1990 Ford Escort XR3i review from UK and Ireland
"Fun to drive!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Battery, worn valve stem oil seals.
General comments?
Great little car - add a K&N induction kit, Magnex exhaust system, powervalve, cam, gas flowed head, Koni suspension and you're on to a flyer as well as an empty wallet!
Uprate the discs by using RST S2 callipers and uprated pads and discs - you will need 15" wheels for this!
