It's become apparent that the band just isn't getting back together again, so it's time to sell our race car. It has three races on it. These engines are durable in LeMons, and this car is capable of a Class B win with the right team. It's in Chicagoland, and my teammate Eric is handling the transaction up there.

I'm the Escort guru on the team and I can tell you everything we've done to it.

Here's the link:

A few details:

Pretty quick, and good handling, though slightly above mid pack in terms of straight line power. Where we could really catch people was under braking. Superb brakes.

4 wheel disc, Eibach springs, front camber bolts. Zetec engine, 5 speed manual with stronger 2003 Zx2 shift forks. Kamikaze header, known as the most effective one for a Zetec engine outside of the very pricey Gude. Rest of the exhaust is cobbled from OE pieces, so it can gain some power there if you put in a decent exhaust system.

$1000

I think that might have been the fastest 20xx transaction ever.

In reply to Brett_Murphy:

Yep. Someone on the LeMons board picked it up. He's done a lot of arrive-and-drives, but was looking to start his own team. It worked out well. My dad might join his team so he can keep racing and stay involved with the car. We have a lot of personal history with it. It's a bit of an emotional hunk of metal and rust.

Mostly rust.
