just bought a jreg cossie replica with full steel bodykit. But the 2 front wheels are sitting really far back its just on standard si wishbones dunt no if cossie ones are differnt?


dunno if you can see from the pic but any help would be appreciated.

 

I dont know but your car looks pretty cool though. What engine have you got under there?

 

Escos has completly different suspension adapted from Sierra, diffeerent floorpan and dimensions.

 

a proper escos has the floorpan from a sierra (shortened with some taken ot of the middle) grafted onto the body of an escort. as such, the suspension is from the sierra which originated as rwd and is completely different to the fwd setup on an escort.

the escort has a lower wishbone (that controls both track and fore/aft movement) and mcpherson strut with an anti roll bar separate and linked via struts.

the sierra has a lower track control arm (does what it says on the tin - maintains wheel position in and out) and uses the arb as the fore/aft link.

to change your wheel centre will not be easy.

 

cheers its just a 1.8td just now looking to put a rst engine of somesort in it unless anyone can think of anything that would be a better option?

 

how about a cosworth engine

 

would love one but think it would be to much work to convert it to 4wd or rwd

 

have a play with the tdi engine you can make around 150bhp and the boost feels nuts spk 2 heeman10 on here or fiestaturbo.com

 

cheers will do, its just the diesel noise that puts me off it sound like a tranny van
