Why not dummy up the arches to see how much space you have?
Would be the same as a rs2000 I would think you are using an rs2000 floorpan?

Starting to look good, cant wait for pictures of the Cosworth conversion...
When you say youre using WRC spec bits, does that mean youre having Rieger suspension then...?
