Random Q - Are Dan and Nathan Lloyd doing anything for this car? I know them and that they used to do a few bits and bobs for yourself/M-tech...

Looking good Matt.

Its suprising what the S13 back end will fit under, we tried one under my mates Volvo 340 and short of some modified mounts it would of dropped in like it was meant to be there.

Lots of good diffs and ratios available from the Skylines too.

Wow , looks like very little work is needed for putting the nissan subframe in the fiesta!
I'm doing the same in my 3dr sierra, but using the rear floorpan section from the nissan (with turrets included) , a lot easier than doing lots of work to the stock floorpan.

Are you going for nissan hubs setup in the front too?

Default M-Tech JWRC Mk6 Fiesta RWD 600BHP: Cage going in...
Ah, among other things, we have the following 'cool' ideas:
  • AirCon based overrun chiller for chargecooler??
  • Rear blown diffuser
  • Rear mount Rad
  • Engine half way through front bulkhead, for better CoG
  • Removable tunnel for servicing etc
  • Front munted turbocharger
Woop :P

Dont know how I missed this thread.

Cool as fuck

I think there will be quite a demand for the cams if you do manage to get a decent profile together, as there isnt a lot on the market currently for the B204.
