My initial plans are to leave the GT bodywork fairly stock (no body kits). Dress up the interior/exterior some and improve the performance/handling. I want a car that is fun to drive on the street, but I really want to take it to track days as well.

Planned mods / improvements:
Performance/engine
- Magnecor plug wires
- Pacesetter ceramic-coated header
- high-flow cat
- Corksport stainless cat-back exhaust
- intake
- lightweight/underdrive crank pulley
- A/C delete
- Battery relocated to hatch area w/ aluminum box
Interior
- Ford Racing steering wheel
- sport or race seats; probably black or black/grey cloth Corbeau
- Replace automatic seat belts; either harnesses or non-motorized
- recover door panels to get rid of striped cloth pattern
- rear seat and hatch cover removal
- modify e-brake handle for grip and boot
- either white-face gauges or aluminum gauge bezel
Exterior
- Paint reflector panels on hatch body color
- WRX STi wing (painted body color)
- customize GT grill
- paint mirrors body color
- fiberglass ZXTuner 'Invader' hood (painted body color)
- Escort Cosworth or Cosworth RS 500 hood louvers
- hood pins
- functioning roof scoop & vent
- tint all windows
- tow eyes/loops front & rear
Handling/suspension
- Corksport front and rear strut braces
- slotted rotors
- lightweight 17" wheels
- urethane bushing kit
- Suspension Techniques front sway bar
- ZXTuner/Progress rear sway bar

Wish list / possibilities:
- Ground Control coilover kit
- Cusco camber plates
- turbo/intercooler or supercharger/intercooler
- Roll bar and cross bracing
- modify fuel door / quarter panel to accept round billet fuel door and surround
- RMM upper hatch wing (if I can find one)
- lightweight flywheel
- Heavy-duty clutch
- Quaife LSD
- Heavy-duty axles
- Precision Brakes big brake kit

Great Photos, I have now my 3rd Cayman EGT. All are project cars. The 2nd is parted out for that purpose. Yours looks great!
I can't wait to get one on the road. Thanks for posting the pix.

Car looks really good and your ideas are gret. I would go with the gt grill with the three slots. Also, have you installed the TWM shifter yet? How does that fit?

Hey not too long ago I purchased a 95 Escort GT, one that is identical to yours. Just last week it seemed as though my clutch broke on me, but I know that the clutch was pretty new. Now I'm not too familiar with cars so that is why I am asking you this. Is the 95 Escort GT have a hydraulic powered clutch? If so I think that I may just need to put more fluid in it. And if so, where is the cylinder for the fluid. I know that it ought to be on the driver's side but I can't find anything over there. If you could let me know what you think. Thanks.
