This is my fourth escort. My first was a 93 GT auto the trans went out, that was a hand me down. My second was a 4dr LX 5sp, got it with a cracked head.(white) I payed $100 for the car and another $100 for another motor/trans, that lasted about a year and a half.(still runs) The main seal blew and leaked about a quart of oil every 3 days. Then i got my 91 GT 5sp, a bit rusted but i payed $100 for it and about $50 in parts and it still runs. Although it didnt run when i got it. i bought an ignition module, cap and rotor, started but not driveable. then i thought...I replaced the heater core..RIGHT ABOVE THE COMPUTER! took it out, took off the lid and let it dry out, it was wet. after it was dry i installed it started right up. (silver) But I needed something a little newer and less of an eye-soar (to others). I loved it though. Now I have my 98 zx2 5sp, its the nicest Ive had but its not my favorite, but Im happy.(black) I got it 11-18-06.
The first couple of major mods will be exhaust and intake. Soon these will be on and ready for something else.
If you noticed i have different wheels on all 3. only set of escort wheels i dont have is the 94-96 GTs and anything newer than my 98 zx2 (2 full spare steelies)
WANTED: S/R guage cluster and ECU(got one).

whats up man? nice car. let me tell you where you can get a new custom made shift boot for your car. not universal. it will take place of that ugly rubber one that comes stock. and its a lagit buisness. its an ebay store. ive been starting up my own buisness and just trying to get the word out about it. you can have it any way you want it. its made from high quallity vinyl fabric. and it will only run you about $20 shipped. well go ahead and check it out at http://stores.ebay.com/Evil-Eye-customs. and you can also check out my page 4. but tell me what you think. i always have it listed so its there if you want it. thanks for your time. later man mitchell

Hey, how did that pacesetter exhaust help out your Escort. I was thinking about getting the same exhaust for my Celica.

So are you fixing up a Escort and making it into a LXE? Let me know when you get some things done to it. Later.

The thing that i like best about the lx-E is that they are rare. only built for two years. plus all the gt goodies. Good luck with the project keep the lx-E alive.
