thanks for the feedback lads as i said in the start of the thread this type of info is very hard to come buy. the main reason im lookn into this is i know a lad that has done nissan rear subframe conversions to sevral ae86s with great success and i have a nissan 180sx drift car that due to work commitments i dont get to use or compete in that often and it got me thinking of doin the nissan conversion to my escort after talkn to the lad that has done the twin cams before he said he would do the conversion for 1000euro if the subframe would work and i would have have a full suspension setup for little more than a grand in that case. but after measuring up the escort and the nissan subframe i found it would not work without cutting the chassai of the escort or doing extensive modification to the nissan subframe so that option is pretty much out but the lad that has done this before has also mentioned using an fc rx7 rear subframe which he reckons is a more advanced and stronger rear subframe but will work out a bit more expensive as i will have to source all the nessecary parts for that option. so at this point it is still all up in the air and lookn like i could end up goin down the english or atlas axle route yet but a little research into the matter should put me in the right direction what ever route i choose to go down
