    i can respect the work, it does seem to be going well, but i do have to ask why.

    the MR2 is far from a modern chassis, with the 4 wheel strut based suspension it's far from a hero on the track.

    either way, i respect the dedication :)

    The best project i've seen on TB for many a year, if ever!

    My only criticism is that spunky 3s-fe, please tell me it's going to get a V6 or 3s-gte?

    Either way you're doing something so cool that most of us could only dream of doing, keep it up!

    It's worse than that Marc.

    People are reading this thread and trying to figure out what else they can scalp and bolt onto a Two.

    My lunatic brother and I have already been looking at wheelbase measurements.

    :)

    Although I have to say I did cringe when I saw this. Mk1 escorts are neither cheap nor plentiful......

    I take Goukys point though, the Escort is RWD in standard form as is the Mr2, the Escort is easier to control in a drift, the Mr2 isn't.... but i think the point is the Mr2 is lightyears ahead of the Escort in technology, so you get old school looks but "modern" components.

    Taking it a stage further would be using the Mk3 (but with engine swapped), that handles really well, and plonking a classic over it.

    That reminds me, we really should get Troys Mr2 mini on TB
