      How about 10 times entries day one of the contest. Reward your fans with notifications on. Stop giving people who wait until the last minute the best rewards. This tactic really puts off your loyalty fans.

    Great video! The Escort driver was such a good dude, blew his diff. and his personality and mood didn’t change. My girlfriend from high school into college had this exact car, a pink(or sunrise red, or whatever the driver called it) Escort GT. It was manual, and she was a great driver, her first vehicle was an S-10, stick, with a 4.3. I drove the car a bunch, and it was super sporty, handled good, and was quick back then in the early-mid 90’s. This video was very nostalgic. Brought back some great memories. Glad you decided to pick this guy/build to showcase. It was really fun to watch, but I do wish the guy was able to get into the 9’s. I’m subscribing. Keep up the great work.

    Pretty sick for an Escort. I've personally only seen 1 Escort in my life that was built. It was a 1984 Ford Escort EXP that was sectioned, tubbed out and had a 1000hp big block 454 under the hood. F**ken thing was sick AF to say the least. I worked for the guy who owned it, so I was able to admire it daily for almost 3yrs. The man had some gorgeous rides. He was in the process of rebuilding his 1970 Nova for the street. It was a old drag build he did in the 80s (I believe it was the 80s) called the Midnight Fantasy. It was all black and had a airbrush graveyard scene on the decklid that included characters like Frankenstein. It physically hurt me to be the one who stripped most of the paint off the Nova when the guy decided to rebuild it for the street.

Put a drop piston set with rollers with a bore of 30 over. I ended up pushing 630HP after. This was back in the 90s after High school. 5 speed as well. Leave harder then this 1.

      ​@@starbattles1 Yeah , that's a tube framed RWD race car. There have been a few Probes since the 90s like that. Super cool but not what I want or could even afford to build. Even a couple of street RWD probes on Miata pans have been built. I want to build something more along the lines of "if Ford or Mazda built it" The KL motor is the Madza engine already used in the Probe. 200hp stock but can get to 300-400hp fairly reliably with a small turbo. The engine would still be transverse in the stock location but it would use Mazda 323 GTX / Familia AWD bits to fill in the blanks and make it AWD. The Probe/MX6 platform is very similar to the MX3/323/Familia. Kind of like a Mazda version of an AWD Talon/Eclipse.

    Would love to see more of this car such a cool little build I think all he would need at the moment is some suspension work and a cage and he can definitely get more out of it

    Great video!
    I remember back in the 80's my local (NHRA) track prohibited my 70' Torino Cobra from running faster than 12 flat without a cage. I had ran a couple 11:70 passes and they threatened to ban me for any more sub 12 second runs.
    Times have changed I guess.

    My first car, teal colored Escort LX with the exact same body style, 2-door, hatch and spoiler. But mine was a 1.9L SOHC. The GT-model ran a Mazda-developed 1.8L DOHC.

    Ugly up those wheels and tires and hit the streets for the fat cash on the gap. Class guy, killer build.

    I almost bought one of these when they first came out. I really liked the color but the only thing that stopped me was the only one in that color within five hundred miles was automatic transmission. I ended up buying a Ranger Splash with a 5spd manual 😊

    Very cool build and even see the color matched stock wheels in the beginning part of the video. Cage definitely needed though.

    When I was in high school in the late '90s my friend had a Ford escort GT we would go out racing people but the only ones we could beat were the one's not racing us.
    Good times.
    It obviously had a DC sport muffler.

    I always had a thing for this generation USDM Ford Escort... although I wish we were given the access of what the foreign market got from Ford but I felt as though as a sport compact offering it was both acceptable and different than what others were introducing to the market

    I had an Escort ZX2 S/R back on the day. I'd love to get another and build it out now that I'm less poor.
