Default Just figured how to put pictures on so i would like to share my escort mk2 st170

This is my escort mk2 with a st170 engine on zx6 bike carbs. i brought it like this december 09, i've just added the seats and steering wheel. In the next 6 months the car is been gutted for a respray and a cossie lump. Cant wait.

Does anyone no what diff would be best with the cossie(ratio)? im aiming for just under 300bhp hopefully.

diff ratio depends on how fast you want your top speed. your probably better of with a 4:1 or 4:4 for acceleration, although don't think u'll suffer lack of acceleration in a mk11 with a cossie in it.
