Gotta say I did a lot of learning in that TC Escort.
The crank pulleys used to fly apart, they were spot welded together. So I searched around and Lynx engineering made a billet solid steel pulley for me.
The motor was fully balanced and had a lightened flywheel (probably to light) again by Lynx.
With the close ratio box and lighted FW used to have to ride the clutch to leave the traffic lights and get across the intersection and up to about 20ks before you could let it right out.
OR:...Rev it up to about 3.5KRPM and drop it. It would just hook up and spins and smoke right across the intersection untill you had to change at about 8k rpm. First time this happened was a complete accident. After that ...........

Now for the bummer:
Sunday nights used to be coffee shop night at Beecroft. All the local girls and lads would met for a coffee. Anyway decided to do a bit of a skid leaving and accidently left it in reverse. After a very short spin in rev (hardly moved) into first and off....big problem driving home, clutch pedal is pulsing in and out and engine seems to only want to idle home, any more throttle just make horrible noises.
So the next weekend take off the box and bell housing....looking at the back of the motor something doesn't look right....****** there's no flywheel. True the flywheel is in the bell housing. All but one flywheel bolt sheared and the other pulled out and had been rotating around and catching in its hole. This is what got me home.
Back to Lynx...for a dowled and repaired crank and flywheel.
I have a few more stories...but thats later.
