MK3 RS 4X4 Swap
Has anyone done a MK3RS drivetrain swap yet into another Ford like a Fiesta/Escort ect
A salvaged donor MK3 are a still a bit pricey and I wouldnt be keen on transferring all the wiring from a focus to another shell, basically I'm after info on the basic modules and any aftermarket products available to run the diffs,
I intend to purchase a complete rear subframe including diff, MK3 RS gearbox and transfer box and run a 2.0 turbo engine, engine will be ran on a aftermarket ecu, I wouldnt be concerned about ABS or TC just interested how these would react with no control modules.
I've seen a few builds using kuga/volvo rear ends but I'd prefere to go the MK3 route if there is a solution for diff control.
Many Thanks Ross
