Looking forward to seeing yours out Dan - looks really good so far...

In terms of transmission for mine:

Focus RS Gearbox, modified Quaife ATB, cryo treated ratios, some other one off bits in terms of synchros and dogs etc.

Also runs custom F1 spec driveshafts with equal length conversion etc.

Not much more i can do with it

FMS's Cossie Track car has had a new engine I think, James Hodson's mk2 Golf won the FWD category at TOTB this year so I guess we could call that the fastest! and come on, spill the beans rod 2wd or 4wd?
