im not yet, but it will not be T6 lets put it that way,
I can see the reason people will build full replicas of works cars as they are awsome and the package works, but it is still a 15 year old design, and if ford was to do it allagain with the escort cosworth you can be dam sure it would be nothing like what it was, so the way i see it, if you can modernise th eold school in to new school this can only be good !

its out of date, and im building a new car, so why spend new money on old electronic parts, the T6/2000/m is a great ecu, but there are now better for the same/similar money that will do more functions, and there is alot the T6 cannot do than i want.

is on my shortlist, but the lack of available information, i.e a decent website is putting me off using it against others.
that is 1 downfall but if you give spot (i think) a ring at harness engineering i think thats who it is ! lol he has a bit of experience with them and could prob awnser all your questions about them !
he also makes looms to suit
my car has been cut slightly larger than martins, but will be using the same gearbox,
oh and they dont do a 7 speed FFD sequential it has to be converted to 6 speed to get the compact drum in.

i thought they did the 7speed sequential so you could have a better gearing for different things???

i say if not i stand corrected
you say stand corrected
i look upon this they dont do one at all there wasant a mention of factory conversions
things should have been said more clearly in the begining if you did mean this but oh well !!!!!!
i did think about a 4x4 conversion on ma escort actually that could com ein handy
looking foward to your car being done hope to get a lil spin on track sum time

As Tim says the Xtrac is smaller....and ffd did an active front.....thats why it was easier to make the later cars with xtrac transmission RHD....with the FFD its a nightmare....although harveys solution does look tasty.....
