Re: Ford Taunus TC2 Rallycross

So we had a nice opening this year. I took the time to gp drifting and damm i enjoyed it!!! And it actually went verry well. The rs2000 doesnt lack on power and the power steering is awsome. Will be doing this again.

Here i have couple pics. Got over 1000 picture. Thanks to friend of mine Peter.























































































I hope you like them!!!

Re: Ford Taunus TC2 Rallycross

What type of wheels are these. They have nice offset and fill the arches well. I think that they would look well on a Capri.

Re: Ford Taunus TC2 Rallycross

If i know how to make a GIF i have some more, this was just one good drift.


Those wheels normally for Golf GTI's or Scirocco's but i found a set that had 4x108, never seen them sinds. Would love another set to :-p

use the sierra 8V top front cover and drive spacer with a modded cam cover. THe spacer can be easily modified to use the dizzy... locked cvh dizzys work but modified pinto ones spin the correct way. had to do the conversion on my 1st I4 on webers.

Re: Ford Taunus TC2 Rallycross

What i did was just recut the pinto distrubiter (this is one from H&H, better curve) fixed a Hex bit on the distubiter. And then see en get the front plate right and drill a whil. I only have probs from leaking at the top. the cork isnt working good anymore. But will head new head gaskit so i will make some pictures. I'll look for some pics i got.

Re: Ford Taunus TC2 Rallycross

I only got these pics




the hex bit is inserted in the pinto distrubiter and the but is for locking the bit and the distrubiter shaft

Re: Ford Taunus TC2 Rallycross

Over in summer 2013 my dad wanted a new paint job for the car. I know its a late update but here she is.










Here it is on the circuit (Valkenswaard, Holland)








I got a new banded 7inch 13inch wheels for the rear. They are steel but still look nice on the car, they are painted bleu simular like the car.

Re: Ford Taunus TC2 Rallycross

I found some old pictures from the winter 2013-2014.

For some reason the 2.8 taunus radiator didnt keep the rs2000 engine cool. So like more people do, i placed the radiator in the back. So less weight in the front and a bit more in the back. A bit more...

The 2.8 radiator in the front had +- 5 liters of water in the system. This new system has 15 liters of water. It has a Double fan controle. 1 fan works with a temp sensor and the other I controle. Does it keep the Engine cooler, it did on the test race in march 2014, and it keeps the engine cool on idle (what the 2.8 rad didn't do)

It has a big alloy radiator (nissan skyline R32 GTR)

Inside the cockpit the metal tubes need protection incase they should burst.


Here some pics.

Here is the front without the radiator.



This is the radiator and tube setup






Inside the Cockpit






I had some scoops made up and the trunk but not yet sure if its going to stay, maybe lift the trunk a inch so the wind can come in.

Are the 2.3 blocks Taller than the 2l?

Re: Ford Taunus TC2 Rallycross

The blocks are the same height but the crank has a bigger throw. If i remeber rightly the bore is bigger by 3.6mm and the crank throw 5mm more but rod length is the same as the 2l. Making for a worse rod angle in the 2.3's meaning they are hard to rev past 7.5k

Re: Ford Taunus TC2 Rallycross

thinking of increasing cc's of 2l.But they had no 2.3 available here so was thinking, i would buy crank and rods/pistons and give it a try

the stanard 2.3 rods are scrap used the chinese ones on ebay off maxspeeding ford the best £200 you will every spend Although the 2.0l rs2000 rods are the same length if they are any better?
