Does anyone know of that build ?

 

no idea , but googling dave winskle

brings back loads https://www.google.com/search?client...=DAVE+WINSKLE+

and this video has some web sites at the end

www.rs200.yolasite.com and www.rs200replica.co.uk

 

Going for another project?

 

The one in Ebay is a good replica imo. It looks well with the livery on it too.

 

Na mate rods saph will tick all the ford boxes for me, I do love the rs200s though, but I had a Renault 21 turbo with that same transmission in can't see that lasting long with abuse at 400 hp

 

It was KarlRS200's build; was on fb originally I think..

 

They cant handle more than 340lb the yn1 box I sold 7 gearboxes to guy in Coventry must be 18 years ago now who put a stronger gearkitt in them for gt40 and rs200

 

Quaife developed a box for the lotus esprit turbo v8 as an aftermarket replace e t for the Renault. The esprit torque was heavily capped but the engine could run over 600 Bhp with a
decent box.

 

why on earth would you want that power in one of those? I had a chrome orange one with black mono block alloys, must be 19 years ago. The thing was bloody lethal, when it was running. Lots Of Trouble Usually Serious = LOTUS.

 

any pictures jon??

 

Sadly not James. I've had too many house moves to have any pictures, it was never my thing taking pictures. I don't have 1 old school printed picture of any of my previous cars. Sad really.
My mate owns this place, so you can imagine when I was single and had money, I had quite a bit of fun. Trade prices and move them on quickly.

This thing is mental but the build cost would make your eyes water lol but imo worth every last penny

 

Looks pretty mental

 

A 600 hp 4wd one like the proper rally ones were would be awesome, what gearbox did they use ?

 

Standard gearbox magnesium case made by FF Developments with a dog gear kit also by FF Developments, then Xtrac did a gear kit for rallying and rallycross, for motorsport rear diff housing and front diff housing (part of transaxle) were re-cast in aluminium, Quaife have dome straight cut and helical gearboxes, both use the transfer diff and housing from the original transmission along the with the front differential.
Best part of £40k for the complete transmission drive train
