Grab the SUMMER DROP here: https://shop.driftgames.life We bought a Ford Escort Mark II... well, kinda?! This is the only Ford Escort with JDM heritage and we have BIG plans for it. Firstly, it was time to get it running right and see how it drives... and the results were interesting to say the least! What do you guys think of this machine? #automobile #fordescort #rally #rallycar #ford #fordperformance

so i’ve gone through the s2000 chassis myself a lot, that motor is the f20c from an ap1 s2000 make sure you do the ap2 retainers on it, my second peice of advice is swap that diff. Inline pro makes a few kits for a Ford 8.8 or a R200 from a 300zx non turbo. i’m personally running the r200 kit and have had zero issues with the diff next it’s get that trans swapped for the ap2 trans as it’s a bit sturdier and the gear ratios are slightly different which i found better for sliding around. lastly the stock s2000 steering rack is electric not hydraulic so you’ll want to swap it to a s14 rack and a electric pump from a vw to get that s chassis steering feeling you’ll want for drifting.
Not what I expected when I searched for Japanese Escort
One awesome car vid to another. Literally just finished watching Mark McCann’s Veyron vid. 😂
Gotta call it S2cort!

It’s great that Dave decides it’s not gonna be a drift car but ends up being a little beast that wants to slide! Love it guys! Cautiously excited for this series 🎉
You do not understand the great sorrow I feel knowing I can't fit into any of you guys' merch... Just one time give us some 5X hoodies please, I'm begging you. You guys are awesome, I love this channel so much man... I have to live vicariously through you guys since I'll never have the money, or be able to fit in the kind of cars you guys build. So glad I found this channel
The 430.was some job but this is my favourite build that you've done so far. It looked absolutely savage going around the cone.
Look, I dig the new graffiti style hoodie. It really makes me think you're going to drop the GRAFFITI WALL HOODIE soon 👀
Absolutely love the S2kort!
Lets gooo from Cape Town South Africa!!
Poor Aidan was probably STOKED until you pressed the randomise button 😅
Excellent car. Looking forward to seeing the next stage. 😎 I had a mk2 Escort in the late 80s. Two tone white and rust. The doors literally rusted off. So nothing like this beauty. 😂
The air vents are from a nissan qashqai j10
Could you do the hoodies and shirts in larger sizes? I bought a hoodie and had to mod a zip on it to make it wearable. You do what you can to wear nice things...
Dave getting some practice in for the next King of the Cone!
Was surreal seeing engine bay, my original thought was ive seen this before, went and dug out the pics and the entire engine bay has not changed an iota, everything is his original touch under the bonnet. Brought back some memories lads
The car looks so sick I don't know how I feel about the park bench on the back as a wing lol it's growing on me
Finally a ford with a decent engine 🙌
wish I could add pics? Ive got pics of shell being put on anad its previous look before the rothmans
