Yeah we could source a kit either. That one is made up from a manta 400 kit.

[jwfd]

Yeah we spent quite a bit on the rally car lately.
New engine, brakes, exhaust etc. We where also gonna go 6 speed sequential but will keep it for the new project.
 

[MikeLMR]

wow thats a fine bit of engineering

is that steering rack I spy too, and you are using the ford struts with the standard FB top mounts at the front? are you still running a mazda axle at the back?

Very nice !

[shaunwil]

wow, awesome

[jwfd]

Yeah it uses a ford alloy crossmember coupled to group N cosworth struts. The steering rack is also took from the cosworth and has a adopted 2nd gen power steering pump running all this.
At the rear end we\'re using an Atlas full floating axle fitted with ZF diff and rose jointed tramp bars.
Ford transmission was only used cause easy obtained and well proven in rallyin.
