can anybody confirm the wheelbase on a s1600 fiesta is - 2500mm

and mk 1 escort wheelbase is - 2400mm

may not be so bad as rear wheel drive if that is the case???

cheers
marc

 

i understand that the Mk1 fiesta & MK1/2 escrot have the same wheel base. couldnt tell you about the s1600 though...sorry chap

 

cheers mate,

i have been told it is 2500mm in which case building a rwd rather than 4wd may not be such a bad idea afterall

 

dude, im off today! wanna go mdv this afternoon?

 

Just found out pat dorans jwrc shell wheelbase is 2489mm and width is 1610mm

 

be quick on my car then marc lol

 

when they say the "width or track" does that mean outside of wheel to outside of wheel?

 

Is there a difference with the "overhang" of boot versus hatch? Isnt that what people argue when rwd esc cos is mentioned against a saff say?

 

id say so as you have more overhung weight so it takes longer for the back end to come round so would of thought gives you longer to counter steer to compensate where as a hatch will prob come round alot faster as even though the wheelbase is the same the car itself is alot shorter
