      I always look on dens website for inspiration, some absolutely stunning builds.

      And this one looks like another one!
      Nice to see a duratec in there too.

        Great looking build, I'm always impressed with DEN Motorsport builds. Love the colour! Very close to a colour I had plan to use if I even get mine finished.

            Stunning build
            Do you have to run a lowered rack mount Crossmember with a Duratec being such a tall engine

              The duratec is a 2.0 so not as tall as a 2.3, the engine is mounted to the chassis with custom brackets so you can adjust the height, the normal crossmember has the engine mounts removed so you get more room and my engine is dry sumped so there is less overall height.

              Hope that answers your question.

              Oh and the highest placed mk2 finishing Mull 2013 (3rd) has a Duratec so that was a plus. Unfortunately the Ralloy car Scholar duratec engine failed before the start of the event.

              My car is almost complete now.

                Hi there!
                Nice build!
                Any updates? How did the Tractive 6spd gearbox work out?

                          What does the rocker cover come from? doesnt look like the standard mondeo or fiesta ST item as it has extra ribs down one side?
