a bit of both , less weight and the fun factor!!! thers nothing like seeing an escort cosworth going sideways belching smoke from the rear tyres!! its the best of both worlds saph rwd fun and the looks of a escort cossi !!! yes i mite lose some 0-60 time but i dont mind its well worth it ask anyone whos done it. and if i ever want to, i will just swap it back!!

its also that the rwd drive set up is much more reliable and to make a bullet proof 4wd would cost 10k lol....

Try removing the rear arb for better traction in corners.
I converted my esc cos 6-7 years ago, fun on track, useless in traffic and rain.

I changed the rear arb to a 2wd one. Mine is really good fun. And opposite to K. Goas old escort mine is GREAT fun in traffic also. Just the same as when it was 4x4 but when i floor the right foot the rear sits down and the car shoots away. Dont see any problem in the rain either, except that i have to wash the car on the underside after every ride. And i have 517WHP and 674Nm.
