im using the t5 box with standard rear diff thought about using escort cosworth 4wd set and was advised that the wheel base was to small and would be no better than 2wd, and not as much fun anyway.

Yb engine rebuild
Will soon be ready to get the engine reconditioned does anybody recommend a company to do the work for me.
It needs a strong standard rebuild but needs to look mint too and not to expensive.
Gonna need an ecu and loom too want a running engine I can just slot in without to much messing about.

Unless it's the same one that cropped up a few weeks ago (there's a lot less rust to be fair, so maybe not the same one), there's already one in progress...

It doesn't fit. It was shortend and arm brackets welded back on right for rear track width.
Arms are made thinner too.
