    Brilliant, Evos are the ultimate driving machine on the road, they just look a bit, well you know, put all that technology in a old shell, best of both for me. I wonder how much shorter it is, I know the Norris bogie was shortened and that performed well. I'm going to have a good read of this thread

    Shame it's not an escort mk3 series 1 turbo

    You make it sound so easy! Not as much work as you think though, I see what you mean. How does either of them drive, which ones yours? Difficult but entertaining i'd imagine?

    Re: Evo powered 205gti

    there was a white pug 205 with evo 8 engine at ppc in the park last weekend, running 608 bhp fwd, gt3580r turbo and a heavy modded focus gearbox with gear ratios picked out of diesel/rs/st models using final drive as signal/pick up to limit boost in the 6 gears

    went very well
