Timing at 18 degrees? Wow, it handles that ok? I advanced my MR2 to 12 degrees with my friend’s timing light, but that’s only 2 degress more than the 10 it’s supposed to be at. Didn’t want to mess with it too much. Anyways, cool car you got there. ---

Not everyday you see an Escort GT with little rust on it. And where in the heck did you find a CF hood for that. Should be nice once it’s done. :tup: [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-to-nyspeed/18668.md?page=1) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/new-to-nyspeed/18668.md?page=3)
