MST upgrades/kits

For ford escorts

What exact upgrades are you wanting? MST make replacement bodyshells and complete new cars, replicating Ford Escorts Mark l and ll, both of which are already in Horizon 5, and which can be mechanically upgraded.

Mst upgraded escorts.

Wasn’t sure whether they were better here or under the Escort vote thread.

But they don’t look different to the ones we’ve already got. Zakspeed and X-Pack arches do though. I would add to the Escort page though, as I think it makes it easier for the devs to find.

Not supposed to look different. If that’s reason to not have cars it would be a small car list :slight_smile:

Restomod.

I think it’s a great idea! You have my vote! :smiley:

My point is that the original cars are already in the game. Why have replicas too? Just tune the existing cars. Or request the specific engine used by MST be added to the tuning options.

They would have to be a separate car as they aren’t really an upgrade to an old Escort, but a new car as they are new shells. That’s why they are ‘71’ reg plates (second half of 2021).

They’re new because they are made from new panels and all new running gear. If you have a rusty Mk 1 or 2 Escort you can re-shell it with an MST body and keep the original registration. If you add assorted used non original running gear to an MST shell you get a Q prefix registration.

Those panels are copies of the originals in the way that Heritage shells for Mini, MGB, TR6 etc are. MST Escorts are identical visually to their Ford originals therefore would be, imho, pointless additions to Forza.

Since this is just a re shell it might be better to just add more engine swaps instead as this doesn’t have as drastic as changes as say if it had been converted to have independent rear suspension instead of live axle and a more modern ecoboost engine sort of like a restomod style car there isn’t much benefit between this and the current ones in the game
