I loved the RS200E personally after a Mk2 RS1800 the best of the lot Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Mmmmmmm 6R4, one turned up to Goodwood a while back when the Ford rally team were there with what must've been the outgoing Escort Cosworth rally car. They did a fast run round the rally track and then the Metro made them look like they'd been going backwards - it was a sight to behold.

reads90 Posted September 27, 2006 Share Posted September 27, 2006 Ok don't know a great deal about the IRD so bear with me i maybe talking carp But can't you fab a Land transfer box to go in its place. Or weld up the inside of the IRD and therefore make it stronger. I know what the IRD does but you don't need this on the truck, as it does not spend all it time in safeway They have a diff front and rear don't they so it will ok on the corners. Just get some way to split the drive 50/50 but will keep up to what you are doing to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Chatting last night with DH we came up with some ideas This was chatting over a few beers so the as a suggestion came up with 2.8 BMW six in the back milner transfure box shogun floating diffs front and rear,cv's shafts and hubs (if it works with the £1.7k each shocks) Shafts will need to be made and its all just ideas and assumtions. and a huge bill from stunning survices to fit and make it all work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
will_warne Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Jules, the 6 would be nice but I'd have to agree with Luvvers on the Toyota lump; its a fabulous engine; one of my favourates, infact. What are the rules about cutting up the chassis in super production? If you've got cart blanch anythings possible but if not then its a little harder...

jules Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 The toyota stiff is good chassie will need to be adapted to for strength regardless.. keeping the engine size down still keeps the freelander out of the buggy and Bowler classes. There has been some fantastic feed back on this post thanks again guys I need to study to comments. rally car stuff has been knocked out which keeps the costs down and also loads if ideas based on expirance which are grate. The IRD cassing blows apart but also the shafts brake. Thanks to all. The chap that was co-driving for me on Sat is Colin Read from Mitubushi and was the works driver racing as a team mate to Tony Pond in the Layland works rally team TR8's and the 6R4 up untill they were band. (how cool is that) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FridgeFreezer Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 Bill told me how you broke the IRD - perhaps a little less enthusiasm next time? What about bracing the case of the IRD up to prevent explosion? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jules Posted September 28, 2006 Author Share Posted September 28, 2006 Bill told me how you broke the IRD - perhaps a little less enthusiasm next time? What about bracing the case of the IRD up to prevent explosion? I'm not convinced that will work and I want more power which will make the problem worse. VC back in may reduce the load on the ird Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
