headers,intake,catback system,bigger throttle body,MSD coil,MSD plug wire,NGK plugs esslinger underdrive pulley,and a short throw shifter.

Waste of money IMO. What's the point in putting "performance" parts on a ZX2? Yes, I have ridden in a ZX2 5 speed before, they are quite peppy the way they are. If you're going to do that kinda shit, buy a Mustang.

I don't know... I kinda liked the v8 swap.

If you did get the escort, I would just leave it the way it is. They are good enough by themselves.

fairly low miles on the black one. I'd just throw some wheels on it, tint the windows, and lower it and go riding. Cars going to get the job done just like it was built to do.
