Dont know if anyone interested in this but i dont know if anyone else has done it before my mk3 escort hot rod had a 2000cc pinto front wheel drive did well at chesterton and crewe more years ago than i care to remember

how much does it cost to compete in that?

What box are you using?

iirc the BC box out of a 3i, derv, Rs Turbo fits.

used a diesel 5 speed with sintered bronze 3 paddle clutch did have a problem with it busting driveshafts though !
