This project has been inspired by the fire breathing big BHP Group B rally cars that were banned in the mid 1980's. With a love for these cars in mind I'm creating a mid engine RWD track day car using a MK6 Escort as the base car and a Subaru Impreza turbo engine/gearbox to power it.
With the Subaru engine being quite light and having a low centre of gravity, (due to the flat 4 configuration) the car should have a good power to weight ratio and hopefully handle well, with a good suspension setup.
From the age of five ive been taking things apart and putting them back together, at the age of twelve me and a mate fitted a lawn mower engine to a kids gocart and it all spiralled from there.
The sound of ani lag and wastegate chatter makes my hairs stand on end and making one off cars is my full on hobby with endless project ideas in mind. My garage may look like a scrapyard to some but to me its like an Aladdin”s Cave.
I'd be very humbled if you would feed the beast...
