Some pics from testing today in NH. DSG will be servicing Weegee Smith's Group A Escort RS @ STPR so we went to shake the car down and see how it feels with its bollocks cut off (140bhp less with the 34mm restrictor). The car is still awesome and really needs all 7 gears and very aggressive anti-lag to get up and go with the reduced power. The ALS valve seemed to be sticking open due to a little corrosion after 3 years of no use but other than that it was very trouble free. The engine note has changed a little bit due to the addition of a cat from WRC04 Mitsubishi. We are all pretty psyched to see the car run again, especially Ramana who will be driving it for the second time.

 

Awesome car!! and good luck this weekend.

 

good luck, see you there!
