Top stuff, this car (and driver) NEVER fail to impress.

I thought he had sold it, or is this an old video?

Stian did manage to set a new best time in his car...remember this i roadlegal car.
The man in third place is running Pat Dorans old RS 500 he finished some 2 seconds behind and has 550hp.
Stians run didn't look like a perfect run..so i am sure he can do better.

That's what I thought. There is a lot to improve in the racing line. The car is impressive but the driver can do better.

Yes, that was really a great video. Just a shame the car has a sequential gb but that's awesome. I remember seeing an Escos having 730bhp for 900kg (!) and doing 0-200kph in 7.5s, that was awesome, even more than this !

Well I would have kept the original gearbox, made it more resistant but keeping the full manual gearbox ! It is more challenging for the driver ! But I like this one too, it is just for performance !

Changing gears manually is slower, not more challenging. I don't see a point in detuning WRC Escort to have manual gearbox. And certainly don't see it be any kind of challenge to the driver.

Well of course to put a manual gb on a WRC car is stupid, but to do it in the other way (convert a street car to a WRC one). I would really prefer to have a fully manual gb, it is harder to masterize !

At some level of drivers switching gears is so automatized it's like breathing. Doesn't matter what kind of gearbox is there. But anyway I think this car started as WRC car so I wouldn't say it's a shame it has sequential gearbox. In fact I would love to drive car with such gearbox. Can do many things manual (especially synchronized one) can't do.

I would apreciate if you used this link: http://www.osenworks.no/index.php?op...d=19&Itemid=30
instead of the nmkorketrekkeren.ow.avi link.
Getting hits is kinda my reward for making these vids, and direct links doesnt provide me with anything else than lots of bandwidt used =)
Also you can comment the movie and vote on it on that page

xrt: you need to download the latest divx, www.divx.com

The driver is currently looking for sponsors, so we hope he can participate on the rest of the national races and also get the car properly setup so he can go real fast
