MY NEW CAR PLANS
OK,
As I seem to have started something I thought I had better come clean as the rumour mill has already started
You know who you are, now piss of and get a life
For everyone else - here it is
Car will be based on a brand new Escort Motorsport shell which I have had for a while
It is being twinned with Martoons as far as the bodstyle (WRC) and cage are concerned. this is happening NOW.
I have already got a Skyline Gearbox which will have full syquential 6 speed conversion. This will also have the 2wd/4wd switching.
Rear beam will be WRC, diff to be decided - probably 9" (if you have one with 3.6 artio let me know)
Front will be thick wall Quaiffe
Suspension has not been decided yet. Proably Leda as I like this.
Brakes will have to be huge again as I have been spoilt before, on lookout now.
Interior will be track stylee with all harness's etc.
Power output...dont think i will tell you that
But I will tell you it is gonna be MUCH more than before.
BTW. Lee (Porkie) Will be able to sleep at night now as he has known all along, and hes been sweating about letting it slip

I've kept this secret for ages and I've been bursting!!!
Martooon will be building them side by side, and the specs will both me off the fooking charts! Huge power and BLING transmissions!
Bruce, WRC beam? even Martin might stretch to get you one of those

Looks fucking quality bruce, as did the 3dr
Black WRC Esc Cossie with black rims (SAME colour as car, not anthrashite!) and contrasting Silver/White Reyland or whatever graphics, thats gonna be the best looking cossie there is in my book
I think normal esc cossies look a bit shat, but WRC kit...
The transmission is best of both worlds, 4WD when you need it, RWD when you dont, and everything in between

Man, you've come full circle mate. I don't know you too well but I had just joined when your RS500 went missing and I remember you saying there was just no way back.
Well bollox to that cause here you finally are, at the early and probably most exciting stages of your comeback and it's damn good to see.
Just make sure you get a super
alarm system this time!

Cant wait to hear the rumours, shouldnt be long before they make it oop norf

when i got my cossie 2 years ago .. bruce test drove it in the pouring rain ... and he was smiling like a goon when he reailised that you can be facing one way ... turn the steering wheel the other and plant it ..
then had more fun driving mine round bedford than his RS500
