Popular Post Zx2guy19 Posted March 3, 2011 Popular Post Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 (edited) Hey guys, just wanted to introduce myself. I currently own a 1999 Ford Escort ZX2 that put down 326whp/296wtq. I also own a 2007 Legacy GT...5 speed, silver, all stock except I bought a new GMS exhaust for it. I just turned 21 years old and I bought a house in Canal Winchester, but I am from Hilliard and my girlfriend lives in Powell, so I am frequently all over the city. So far I love the Subaru (only owned it since February 15th) and will always love the Zx2. I am on multiple car websites, including centralohiosubarus.com, teamzx2.com, focaljet.com, nasioc.com, etc. I do know plenty about cars I've owned 14 Escorts and 18 cars total. I usually buy them, fix them, and sell them. Here are some pictures of the Escort. It's currently down in Florida to get retuned. If anyone has ever seen the HUGE Escort meet in Hilliard, yes, that is me hosting that. I want to wash the Subaru before I post up pictures. Anyways, nice to meet you all!! Brad P.s. Yes, I do expect to be flamed for modding an escort, but it is nothing new. http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/ZX2dyno.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/1286117347408.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/010-2.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/024.jpg http://i6.photobucket.com/albums/y225/chopperman19/034-1.jpg Edited March 3, 2011 by Zx2guy19 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sully Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Nice intro. I'm not sure that we have any modded Escorts here (I could be wrong though). Either way, it's different and refreshing to have someone here with something other than a stupid LS1. HAHA!! Welcome to CR and to the CW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Benner Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 Damn clean car. I've always had a soft spot for the looks of the zx2's, but never even thought of modding one. +rep Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

2 Sweet Posted March 3, 2011 Report Share Posted March 3, 2011 If anyone has ever seen the HUGE Escort meet in Hilliard, yes, that is me hosting that. I frequently drove past your car when it was at that house on Renner (I live a few minutes from there) and I always wondered about it. Then I remember driving past one day, seeing like 20 Escorts parked on the front lawn, and thinking wtf??? Haha I had never seen so many Escorts in one place before. That's a sweet project you have, and the car looks really good. Certainly the coolest Escort I have seen. It's definitely not something you see every day, which is a good thing. Welcome to CR!

Zx2guy19 Posted March 4, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 4, 2011 Wow, definitely not the reactions I expected. Makes me feel good about this site The car weighs right around 2200lbs. They are 2478 from the factory. I'll get pictures and attend many, if not all, meets in the Columbus area when you guys start them. I used to go to Quaker Steak and Lube ALL the time at Polaris before they shut that down. And yes, that was my parents house on Renner. The meet in the front yard (2009) we had 27 ZX2's and the one in the back yard (2010) we had 28. Probably won't have one this year since I bought my own house. Zx2's are not very commonly modded cars. Currently, I have put down the 4th highest numbers. One guy (the guy tuning my car and helping me fix some issues) put down 421whp. Another guy did 378whp, and the another did 351whp. I'll get pics of the Legacy soon. Gas is RAPING me on this car already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
