RWD Nova gen please....

/\ mowgli, it's not all the 240 back axle's that came with the LSD as far as i know, i think only the Turbo and 1 other model that i'm not sure of, they are pretty much unbreakable though yeh, although they are really pretty heavy. as said i think i'd make a independant set-up by buying a complete rear sub frame and taking what i needed and adapting it etc etc..

id go IRS any day of the week. using a cavy 4stud rear setup and omega/carlton/monaro diff something along those lines.

i think sbd sell rwd sumps for around £150 new (plus pick up ect) Neil Adams (on mig) has used a ford (i think type 9) on his c20let using the sbd sump and has gone into his westfield.

might help looking through his thread or website for some inspiration

escort.

just comes up with a blank page with a sti logo?

[philip]

if i was doing it id use:

escort X member
xe, with type9 box with sierra back end or a baby atlas if can get one reasonable price.
manta struts, and fabricate chassis rails in the front and work from that.

lad i know has put a evo6 motor into a mk3 fiesta with m3 6speed box and an atlas, **** me goes like stink.

and back end shouldnt be too hard to do, put your 4link boxes in, turrets and away you go really. and im sure theres a kit you can buy to do the front end to get engine sitting properly.

source a 1.8 manta sump and pick-up, or modify 2 stock xe pickups and a sump
