Re: From Rallycross car to GT4 Racing Escort RWD "G3"

I loved that G3 also, but this mk2 is shaping up to be a real weapon, good luck with the build....mark

Thanks, miss the G3 my self, but i hope this one will be bether in some ways.

Not much have been hapening, but here are some picks.

Made place fore the brakefuid "things" there will be enough place fore two of theese and one slim tal fore the cluch.





Also made a strut bar. Idealy i wanted them to conecth to the cages a post, but it was not doable since the carburaturs is in the way, and the engine is where it is and the fire wall. But this is beter than nothing and should controll the forces good i think.









Also more panels done by a friend of mine, total weigth before tuning the the edges was 7,5kg total. A nigth mare to fit.



At the moment i looking on how these uprigts will fit up front. They will give me a beter tunability up front, and be able to run wide wheels whitout runing wheels whith stupid offset. And bether bearings. Will make as much of the ad on parts in alu, and keep the weigth down. I think it wil be ligther than the Grp 4 struts in the end, i hope.



Thats it fore now, hope you like my plans

Hi Matt75
Not much, making some brackets, more moulds, and mountings, alot of planing, and buyings some pats, slicks and rain tires.
But i have serius problems whit my photo bucket, so its a nigth mare to upload pictures. Any good idea to sort this out?

I wil soon have 5 weeks of work, so then it will be alot of quality time in the garage
