    Grp4 to Grp2 questions? Mk2 escort circuit car?

    Hiya,
    just sitting here thinking about how much I like Zakspeed grp2 race cars for circuit use..

    So apart from engine and box, do I simply shave the Tarmac arches off a grp4 Mk2 escort and rivet a set of Zakspeed badboys onto it and call it a day?

    Also just throwing a set of pimp 15" wheels cant be all either, so what other mods should i do to make it a good circuit only car?.... Currently got 6 link Atlas, but is that really needed for a circuit car? Would a lighter English do the same job?

    i have a hankering to fit a Honda s2000 engine and gearbox to it for that 9000rpm song so maybe some of you have an opinion about that and how to make it work in a track car.

    ponderously,
    C.

    I'm building a Group 2 Zakspeed with the original Castrol livery. I had an english lsd axle but have gone with a hilux with floating axles to future proof it when I go turbo duratec in the future

    S2000 Engine would be awesome and lots of guys have done it before
