Sounds like a bumper build is in the future for the Escape

 

Ha-ha I thought that too but I'd be surprised if they could hold one up.

 

HAHA, told my wife the same thing. I told her I am building a Madmax Escape. Plate bumpers, full exo cage, and the list goes on.

 

Could it support all of that? Lol

 

bought a gokart for a daily driver.
Wife and dog approve
gonna restore it over the winter and be cruising before spring time.

 

I've seen body kits for these that make them look like a Ferrari! I am not saying nothing, I am just saying...

 

yeah, I've been on the forums for a while and seen a number of the kits. really cool looking, but I just don't think I could do it. "awesome testarossa bro!"....."thanks, but it's just a fiero with an I4....."

 

Nevertheless, still a lot of fun to zoom around in.

 

Needs an LS3

 

After the next move... It's a daily driver until the truck overhaul is done, then it can become a track toy

Only thing is that they don't steer for shit with a v8 in the back. So a turbo on the current i4 may be a better option

 

No way.

What about an nissan SR20DETT, according to The Fast and The Furious, they fit in hondas....why not a fiero?

 

Fittment isn't the issue. There's plenty of room. It's about weight distribution.

 

Getting back from China this weekend and treating myself to some wheeling next weekend (the 14th). Anyone going to be up at Rausch??

 

I'm Still talking 4cly here. I'm not out of my tree yet Colin

 

sorry, not an engine guy, so I didn't know what that engine code referred to

here's what the 2.8L factory V6 looks like. so imagine all of the room you have if you remove that "trunk" area

 

Is that pic from your engine bay? Holy hell it is clean!

 

actually, forgot I had photos of mine. that picture is of a V6. I have an I4. not nearly that pretty (yet), since I haven't worked on it, but then again, still not too bad for a 27 year old car.

 

From what I remember, the I4 had upper intake manifold issues. They were prone to cracking. Another was motor mounts, make sure they're in good shape.

 

intake manifold is good on this one. haven't had a chance to look at the lower motor mounts, but that silver cast dog-bone brace has a shot bushing. instead of messing with installing a new OEM style bushing in it, i'll probably just scratch build a new dog bone with tube and some ballistic fab DOM sleeves/poly bushings.

 

Looks to be the Iron Duke 2.5L. The one with the messy cartridge oil filter!
