Mk2 Escort: shoved a huge airdam on the front; it had two air ducts in the front and I mounted a Halfords side-repeater in each wired to the headlights, so they came on when I switched the lights on... This car had seven spotlights at one point; six on the front and one on the back wired to the reverse light. Because the switch for the reverse light on a MK2 Escort is activated when you shove the stick across and not when you put it in gear, it meant you could dip the clutch and blind whoever was following you...
Mk3 Escort: metallic green 5 door Ghia 1.6. In the end it had RS Turbo suspension, bored out engine, twin 40 Dellortos and a home-made exhaust which exited just in front of the pbuttenger-side rear wheel. There was a tiny crack in the exhaust manifold, but since the car was overfueled it meant the car spat flames as it poped and banged when you downshifted and backed off the throttle, so I left it as it was. It meant I got in the habit of shifting into 1st at about 30 when approaching junctions :) It also had a set of mahoosive Cibie Super-Oscars on the front, and a tiny pair of square Ring driving lamps mounted below the bumper, level with the headlights. All the spots had 100W bulbs in, and the headlights had 100-60W 'compebreastion use only, not for use on the road' bulbs. One time some guy approaching on a dark country lane didn't dip his lights so I gave him the full 600W; bastard had to pull over and stop his car.
