I realise this is a little late the whole car is custom built, taking the Ford WRC style and ideas but binned the homologation restrictions like suspension pickup points etc and moved them. As parts for WRCs has always been expensive and now they are classics even more so I built it with almost production parts that can still be bought at reasonable money rather than with obsolete parts from 25 years ago that are no longer made.

Has bespoke front and rear subframes, bespoke gearbox, front diff, shafts, turbocharger, intake system bla bla bla.
Still conforms to the regs power has been developed since the event here at NWS in 2017 and with the 34mm restrictor in pulls over 550nm on pump fuel.

Re: Out rallying again

Thanks for sharing that information about the specification of your Escort, better late than never is what they say.

We have Clubmans Group A Escort that we competed with on Forest Rallies but that hasn't seen the light of day for the best part of 15 years. I know how expensive 909 parts were back then so I would imagine they have all but dried up now. I did know of someone that a good selection of second hand parts, whether he still has any I don't know.

I'll look forward to seeing you on this years NW Stages Mark.

Re: Out rallying again

Yes bits for grpA are silly money, WRC even more. It has wrc hubs, tcas, compression struts etc but its got better geometry than the wrc constraints.
Has active centre diff and plated front and rear diffs. All still available on the shelf to buy at resonable money.

Not doing this year's NWS far too much of a hassle getting an entry due to its popularity.

Be out and about somewhere.

Get some pics of the Escort out.
