Daft question about Escorts

Maybe - the 1.6 Escort is only just quicker along Crail's quarter mile strip than our Ka.

Okay, does that imply a high rate of revs?

I had a look at some local secondhand car dealers yesterday, There were a couple of Escorts there, both 1.6 zetec. I understood from the guy that they are all injected, that can't be right can it?

Also, there seems to be no way of determining the engine side short of looking at the label under the bonnet. :-/

This will be a car related thing I'm guessing? :)

No no, it's difficult to describe (disclaimer: sunburnt, up at 04:00, it's late, tired).

Yes, all 1.6 Zetec engines are fuel injected.

Or the badge on the back, or the V5...?

Hehehe, no, sorry, wireless networking for the Amiga - our household is as wireless as we can get it!

Fair enough. :)

Blimey, and still the performance is poor? I guess its relative, 'cos I used to think my 1.6 mk 4 was quite nippy with just the twin choke webber.

I haven't seen anything that describes the engine size, ie 1.6 or 1.8, just C or LX etc..... and of course 16v.

Darn, and I thought mine was high tech with a scsi CD-R fitted to it last week. :)

But "fuel injected" doesn't mean "high performance." It means "restricted with emissions" perhaps. As for performance, "poor" is relative - it's no slingshot, that's for sure, and a humble (fuel injected, heheh!) Ka can cause some upset and discomfort until around 50 mph on the quarter mile strip, writing from experience. :)

Yes - it's the 16v badge that should help. Of course, it won't always be there.

SCSI rocks, man!

crikey I had a scsi cd-r on mine years ago, a 4x plextor just before I sold it
