ive used various boxes in my rally cosworths and always use close ratios, long ratios are no good in a rally car, ideally you want 1st gear to be mid to high 2.?:1 and direct 5th gear, all the rest spaced between.
the T5 is not a bad box for its cost, espcially if your using a 4.44,
good luck

nice car mate! how did you get on with it in the forests as ive read that they werent that competitive alot better on the tarmac!!does the 4.4 diff not make 1st gear useless with a standard box. obviously with a high first on a close ratio it would be ok

if your using a t5, the 1st is something like 2,9:1 though not great, far from MT75 territory of 3.5?:1, so still usable, though not the worst.
i would still say 4.44, theres not alot of tar that calls for more than 130ish flat out for very long, but its not the tope speed its about the closeness off the gearchange, and also getting away at chicanes without lag, the 3.9: was really bad for coming out of tight bales etc, you either waited for the boost, or, clutched it, neither was good, the 4.44's sorted that, but on the larger venues was allowed to use ALS as well, but not anymore, pretty much only forests now.

collins car is done by Quickies motorsport. My mate i do some work for has a bodyshop, and he paints all Quickies and Collins cars. Phil Collins has a ascona 2.9 vauxhall atm for forest historic, and a mk2escort red one with a millington.
Quickies motorsport is a great place, ive walked round there a few times perving at all the cars. They also do Ellsmoores tesco 99 suburu and a few others. Also has a nice old carrera 4s int here

Hi there, I think i might have the sister car to yours, looks like yours is the first evolution as it has a bolt in cage, i have the second evo as they removed the bolt in cage and replaced it with a welded in cage as you can check the to chassis rails go all the way from the front to the back, Just trying to find the id of the car but has been confirmed that is is a rare RHD full works boreham group A shell

Are you selling the car, shell, bits & bobs etc? I'm just starting a full rebuild on a 3 door ex-works rally car...it's quite well known with loads of history, do you have anything for sale???
