I know a few guys have now done this but I was wondering what is the best rear setup to use on a fiesta when converting to rwd, at the moment I'm looking at either a x type jaguar independent rear setup or an old Skool live rear axle, its more for expense and ease for fitting as I'm already throwing 1k at the box, cage and seats

Scooby looks quite easy to do as its more a bolt on rear cradle..
Was thinking of going scooby floorpan and rear end in a mk 4 escort but now i'm just keeping it simple with a good old zetec turbo!

Oh I never looked at that, I'm fitting the BOA cossy lump, and if there's room I want to twin turbo it, I've had a look at the space and I may have to make a false front end and tube the car? It's either that or ill see what's involve in fitting it in the rear but I want it to still handle

i think the x-type is a realy bad idea, they're well known for fucking up when running much less power to all 4 wheels
so trying to run more power just thru that diff is a recipe for disaster i think
old live axle can certainly take big power, but aint realy the best on corners so depends what you want the car to do
good few jap options available with strong(ish) diffs
i'd sat try stick to the idea of the indipendant rear end

Ill do a bit more hunting then as I could always use part of the rear off the granada and just shorten it
