Nice
You obviously have people tripping over themselves to help you with an attitude like that
Goodluck
If you want to get technical the shell is still made by FORD not cosworth so i can put any engine in it i want and just wont stick a COSWORTH badge on the back..
and for the 2nd time i couldnt give a fuck what its worth im building it for myself.. and for the record i have a group N motorsport shell which is logged as a escort lx so you can tell all your yb fan boys that too and then then can have there say on that too..
"oh well its not logged as a escort cosworth so it can be a genuine escort cosworth and is worth 4k less"
blah blah blah
I dont need ANYBODY to help me with anything. at the end of the day i can fit 100% cosworth parts and be done with it and itll work just fine.
Im asking for help of people who have done the 2wd conversion to see what bits the found beneficial to change too 2wd insted of 4..
I dont want replys of people who have never done the conversion, who cannot give me correct answers on what there recommending etc.
ive read many different posts since ive been researching what parts to use for my shell and they all state different "facts" on the compatibility of cosworth parts..
some people say everything is 100% the same, others say its all differnent, ive even seen people say that the floor pans are exactly the same and its only the body what was changed which we all know isnt the case..
so just because someone on a forum tells me "this is the way to do it" it doesnt mean im going to go out and spend my cash on parts that might not be compatable..
at the end of the day its my car and this is how im going to build it.
Group N shell > Focus RS Engine > T5 Gearbox
if you dont like the fact im not using a twin cam pinto then dont help me complete the build
but by the same rule have you ever converted a escort cosowrth to rwd or are you just a cosworth know it all who knows how to build others cars?
i realy cba with a internet war its pointless and a waste of my time. Im not a purist either who has to do it concourse and the way ford intended
im building myself my own car based on a shape ive always loved since i was a kid..
itll look the same, go the same but it will hopefully have more reliability.
i realy dont see the issue
