The car's suspension is also slightly raised compared to tarmac spec.

I guess that what makes the car somewhat different is the ice tyres and different rims. And the lack of wents on the rear of the car.
I think his cooling setup is now much better than the old setup, due to more airflow on the radiator.

But i must say i think that the graphics is what makes the apperance THAT
much different. Maybe tone it down a little if any at all...

Stian bought a full ex wrc car through Julian Godfrey to my knowledge so all the xtrac gearbox/diffs/reiger suspension was already on it.

IIRC from reading the feature on it, the 'box and diffs cost him more than the shell so I presume they came seperately

Right just bought the feature and IM read to belive he bought the whole car and the active diffs came with it.
Understandable if you buy a gen wrc car you get gen wrc diffs not standard diffs.

Through speaking with Julian in the UK, he came across an exWRC escort for sale from none other than Malcom Wilson. The cost of the whole car (it wasnt just a shell!) came to less than what the diffs and box cos on their own

What are the plans for 2006 for the wrc escort and are their updates or new tweaks coming up??
Whats the race ready weight of the escort??
Will he compete in the norwegian bakklop hillclimb championship??

That reads like he managed to get a whole WRC car with the active diffs and the sequential box for less than the diffs and box would have been on there own (if he had built a WRC car from parts).
