Put me down for a 95 ST in petrol blue.
No engine mods but it's track is 60 mm wider (spacers) & 35 mm lower using Eibach springs. Also has semi-race pads (sparco) & Sachs fast road clutch.
Oh & it's got a grp A head gasket 'cos that's what my mechanic had in stock after the rad lunched itself & he wanted to be careful.

Yep its 2wd - I've fitted a quaife box and gripper diff to it too 
when I had it on the road running the same conversion I had on my saff (350ish) it had a lot more traction than my old saff and it didn't spin up to the limiter as the boost comes in as much in 2nd and 3rd, and it felt slow like it needed more power 
when its back on the road it should run 450ish i hope until I sort the rear beam
TBH I always wanted an esc but not 4x4 as i'd have to spend thousands on a gearbox for it and then it still smashes itself to pieces and the upkeep of the props and driveshafts do my nut in and I HATE working on 4x4s too 
and I also don't like the engine/transmission braking that happens of throttle.
I've got a plated 4x4 front diff off a customer that I could fit if i'd wanted to i've converted his car to 2wd too.
here are some pics of the car. (don't ask about the argument I had with the photographer )

thing is, everyone will say they will go, BUT 
20% won't be able to make it, 20% will not have their cars ready in time ( I will fall into this one I think ) 10% will break down on the way, 10% won't go because its raining and you can't POSSIBLY get your 4x4 RALLY CAR wet 
, 5% will oversleep and turn up just as everyone is going home 2% will get lost on the way, and 3% will be too tight to pay the Ł4 entry
so 30% attendance then
But I will come if I can make it
