Any idea what the wheelbase of a cosworth sierra 3dr and sapphire and Escort cosworth is ?
also what the biggest wheels you can use on the front are likely to be too .
cheers

which one do you want to know about the wheels on too?the sierras will need more arch mods than an escort.

you prob know more than me marco but i thought the escort was 60mm shorter?not that it will matter much.

its just to take some base settings from really , so far the sierra is 2630mm and the Escort is 2530mm .
im really only interested in the Escort for wheel sizes as ive a bit of a project going on that might be interesting .

Yeah , apparently its only my wife that thinks that 2" will make any difference at all .
shes always called me Justin anyway , lol
dont think it'll be a problem to be honest , its got the biggest wheels ive ever seen fitted so grip wont be an issue , lots of grunt and a sequential box and its light as well .
Oh , its also the Romanian hill climb car champion of 2006 !!
Check out youtube for videos titled "Baldescu ".
