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.
The fire wall is taking shape now after spending many hours cutting templates to shape the tricky bits that go round the edges, the bottom part is going to be a removable access pannel and the top part will be clear polycarbonate sheet.

I'd be very humbled if you would feed the beast...
