Can't see why not mate, Seen one in a Mk1 Fiesta, so shouldn't be to hard.


Looks like a nice solid base to start with, Wish my S2 was that clean before i started on it.

Fairly clean mk4 there! Dunno if a Duratec will fit, but its worth trying think it will fly on track!!

bargy 20-08-2011 08:47 PM

cheers, and yea i would like to fit one, if not i guess it would be an st170 engine going in, would a turbo in a fwd go well on the track ? i thought it wouldent thats why im thinking about a duratec on throttle bodys or sumin :confused:
anyway i did a bit more today, took the spare wheel well out and trimed a bit out of the back bumper :top:

bargy 21-08-2011 03:38 PM
