Block doesn't run Haldex

It's an interesting build. Lots of tubular subframes and custom body work.
I'm interested to know, what does the spares package look like ? There is a massive difference between building a pretty car, and actually running / working on one with a proper spares package, especially in Rally.

Also, for "WRC Spec" I'm surprised to see a non V-Mount radiator / Intercooler set-up and standard floorboard. Nice looking suspension pick-up points and castor though.

^^^ this looks to me designed to work on it later easier. So for me looks promising.
But as you said. there is a hell of a lot different being pretty or effective in Rally.
And that is why many road racers doesn't understand what and why we do sometimes. Like running less boost as possible or having two spares in the car etc. ...lol

This looks to me effective so far. But i am not a builder. I am not sure Joseph was meaning "WRC Spec" word by word .

Dont entirely feel like going into WRC spec in detail. But to answer one of your immediate concerns, all Rally-America, and WRC car must retain OEM floor boards

It was the intake manifold that gave it away for me. I love Ford Escorts. Do you have any videos of it?
