All the gen BTCC sierras i have ever seen have never had the floor etc changed
this would have had them banned
the only cars that i thought had tubbed rear arches and modded floors were thunder saloon sierras
Im looking forward to the piccs tho as i have never seen this before ,

.....but just before they went racing the authorities changed the rules slightly saying you couldn't make metalwork changes to the car meaning that they couldn't take advantage of the arch extensions?

Didn't Ford get caught out with the arch extensions they put on the 3-door/RS500? Originally I thought they added them so they could cut the arch lips away behind allowing them to run much wider wheel tyre combos.......

Egmo adjusted the cars after that, they had even had slightly wider lips to the outer rims made for the BBS wheels to widen them that were not available to the other teams.
It was a grey area and the rules were then firmed up for the later seasons to prevent it.

At least the Cosworth was a Ford to the Aussie crowds.......the Nissans were never popular with the die-hards on the hill.

bathurst 87 was basically a big shit storm..
to cut a very long story short all the teams were told by CAMS (the aussie version of the msa) a few months before to put there cars right before they arrived at the mountain. most of the teams didnt think CAMS would go through with it as they had the weight of the FIA behind them and expected CAMS to turn a blind eye like all the other local govening bodies had running wtcc races up to this event.
CAMS kept to there word and kicked the burger cars out of 1st and 2nd resulting in a win for local hero brocky in a holden.. if they didnt get them on the arches they had suspected illegal fuel in reserve too..
all this also resulted in djr bringing a car to the 88tt at silverstone as revenge and blowing everyone away on outright speed..
