Havent really added anything on this one but had this for months now. I used to complain and moan about the condition of the other one this ones even worse!

Some may know the car used to be an ex rallycross car previously built to group N spec. The car has been since converted to a circuit car.

Plans with it are to rebuild it paint it inside and out.

Cool track toy. How many do you have ha ha.

Shame about the fooked shaft.

XRT_si 07-09-2015 05:07 PM

Proper spec car that!

Joe Grp4 Escort 07-09-2015 07:29 PM

Awesome spec

IainRS1700T 08-09-2015 03:40 PM

Wow, was gonna say that must shift, but looking at that shaft, I guess not all the time!
What sort of numbers are you talking there - rally cross is anything goes isn't it?

jessie_rs 08-09-2015 04:21 PM

Yes so I cant really say! I will post up details of the engine dyno numbers

Kevlar rear bumper ripped off and dented, along with front bumper and a few more wounds to add to it.

Rear panel pushed back out just for now and some of my classic repairs

Last outing at Brands.
Attachment 25586

Struggled to heat up the tyres early on then checked I had 35psi in them so dropped 10psi out of them. Need a steep learning curve really to get this competitive again.

Dont think it was pat's his was a gen WRC shell once rallied by Mr Sainz, Well spec'd car non the less, what diffs? also i thought current spec yb for JG would have ran a Tibuc inlet?

No wasnt a pat doran car. I think it was andy grants ex rallycross car.

GT grippers front and back. Yes thats the only thing it hasnt got being an individual throttle bodied inlet it didnt comply to the race regs it used to race in. Quite a few of the rallycross boys are changing back to mis inlets. The mag MIS inlets produce more bhp whereas the tibuc make higher torque.

Cheers for the info chaps! I've not seen much in print about any of the rallycross EscCos, so I'm always keen to learn more where I can.

sturat 18-02-2016 04:43 PM

What race series is that?? Wouldn't mind going to watch that :)

wes 19-02-2016 09:34 AM

Its the QMN Saloon car championship, most races are at Brands Hatch

wes 23-02-2016 03:49 PM

If you skip to around 3:20 of this video, you can see how fast this car can be, the way it accelerates away from Rod Birley's escort on the start was awesome to watch, shame the propshaft came undone and it didn't make it round 1 lap :cry:


Glenn_ 23-02-2016 07:00 PM

Cool pics. I like the ones with the flames coming out the exhaust.

What happened when there was fire coming out of the bonnet.

Billy_RS 23-02-2016 08:49 PM

Proper engine spec :cool:

Started to start to clean up the shell ready to go off to be painted. The inside had been painted with household paint so had to remove it and ended up taking the inside and engine bay back to bare metal

Looking a little better now, good to see the old pics of Dales, his car looks somewhat different these days !

Will you be coming out in the QMN with us this year ? could do with some more cars in the mix !


stu21t 18-05-2016 11:56 PM

I don't race personally. We built Dales Impreza to the new spec and run that in both the QMN and Classic Thunder
