Good link for pics mate but that info is fucking miles out! I'm sure the car was on proper remote reservoir Reiger Dampers, and power too, yes it's 550+ but the engine actually made 784bhp! and 643lb/ft! NO GAS!

Yup! The owner or co-owner of Gatebil owns the car now, Leif Nielson iirc?

It's silver on black mag rims, black rocker cover, HKS Turbo and is now reported to produce over 900bhp STILL with no gas! The turbo is so fucking big that the bonnet go chopped!

The spec is there but the looks have gone IMO!


If you can't replicate the whole thing mate I wouldn't bother doing it, Aubergine is a lovely colour and would suit a road car far more than the Blue Stian used!

Legend of a car, my favourite EVER car bar none!

I have the DVD all about it in the house mate

Gatebil WRC Escort Wrecked and Re-born is pretty decent. Basically has a bit about the car once Stian bought it and took it to few events etc,a bit on the spec of the car and engine etc and some info about himself. It then shows a bit about the crash and then and then shows it being re-built again. Some mega drift action on it lol!

Will try and get you a copy burnt off mate if you want?
