Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

that definatly looks to nice to race now.

dunno about lowering it though,
with a race car i feel its more important to let the suspension geometry set the ride height than any other consideration, and with large diameter wheels its often not possible to run cars a low as road counter parts because of geometry issues

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

Cheers guys. The front of the car is a lot higher than normal to aid all the moving about on the trailer etc but the back is already a lot lower than you might think. Ignore the arches as they are cut up really high, you simply need to stand next to it and look down at the roof or the bootlid to realise its much lower than a normal car.
As Graham says we have to be sensible with the geometry in order to make the thing handle and steer correct so that takes priority over the slammed look I'm affraid.

Was nice to have the car on display in Fuel (was Extreme in Harlow) for a while but now I need to get on with building it as I have another £2k worth of bits to go on it over the next couple of weeks

Big thanks to sticky Matt from Image Worx for a great job on all the graphics and numbers. Pop in to Fuel and see him for all your vinyl needs Thanks to Graham also for sorting out my number 98 which I should have all the time now (or until I get number 1 )

Lots of pics on me computer at home too, just need to get internet now (only on line at work )

Watch this space

Cheers Tel, you need to get yours out there now.

And the 'X' is not a good thing to have with a car like mine, hopefully they'll be gentle with me for a few races pray:

Re: David White's - Mk2 Escort - Cosworth V6 Turbo

you think were going to take any notice of a little X

dont worrry we will be nice to you,....

going to wave as we overtake, then we wont need to worry about your little X.

seriously though, it will be fine, although thats one hell of a car to start circuit racing in, good luck
