Reg Øystein Tokvam
Takk, takk Øystein.
A Duratec is my dream engine in my car. But first I have to try and get it registrered with the pinto. (alltid morsomt å jobbe mot biltilsynet) And after that I can start to make some news plans for another engine.
So what engine can you offer me?
Thanks,
Remi

stunning,a proper credit to you m8.awesome motor this
Some updates.
I had my first drive in my car last of March. Some small problems showed up, the biggest was that my rear axel is making some noise at high speed.
My first real drive in my car.
The gear ratio seems also very high, after I found it to be 3.22:1. The bloke who sold it to me said it was 3.44, I never bother to check.
But anyway, I have bought a 3,75:1 CWP from Fostek. It is still at my bench, but when I find the time I will put it in. (Never done it before)
After that I have got my car approved with a 2l engine and all modifications. This can some time be hard in Norway, but in my case it went great.

In the middle of the summer I did a big mistake. I did take a drive without fasten my bonnet. So when I hit about 80km/h the bonnet came up. Kind of a scary moment. But nobody was hurt, only my Escort. So for a couple of weeks it looked like these:
And here is the bonnet:
A did find a nice used bonnet and some new hinges. A the painter did his magic, and the car was nice again.

Looking great Remi!
I did the same thing with my mk1 once too. Left some paint only on the windscreen and a new bonnet, not too bad. Keep the pics coming!
looks smashing real credit to you bud
I also get time for a second track day this summer. I must say that driving my car on track is surprisingly fun, with in mind that it only got a pinto with 100bhp.
Some pictures from that day:
This pictures just to show the curves on an mk1 compared to some newer cars....
That car now has lost its engine and have been stored away in my fathers barn for the winter.
The engine is coming out:
And some new plans for power plant has started:
2008 Focus engine.
Have someone here build a Duratec with carbs? I`m thinking to have some webers on this one.
