From St. Pete in FL by FordEscorts.com member Phlek0. 1995 Ford Escort LX with a 1.9 SOHC engine, with a 5 speed.

Modifications performed:

  • K&N Cone filter on MAF, which was modified to eliminate the need for an MAF adapter. The flange was cut off and the filter mounted directly on the MAF.
  • OBX exhaust headers from eBay.
  • Springs shortening. A coil was removed from each spring to drop the ride height by a slight amount.
  • Unfinished strut bar from corksport parts, still waiting to weld a member to connect them.
  • Trunk floor replacement. The spare wheel compartment was cut out and a square piece of sheet metal with a cross member was put in to clean up the rear of the car.
  • Valve cover shaved.
