MK2 Escort LS1 in orange!
Discussion
Diff is a Cosworth 7.5 with a standard ratio of 3.62. Gearbox is standard T56 fare with a modified shift - which is basically direct with the remote only used for the self centering of the lever - which works really well - very much old school escort abit 2 more gears! I know what you mean about shift action of the T56, I had a Monaro with a Ripshifter and it felt rubbish compared to the Escort set-up.
Your car spec sounds very impressive. I want to walk before I run so to speak

First problem! Well apart from the usual set-up detailing. Only really given it the full beans twice now only to find a trail of smoke behind! This was traced to the gear box oil leaking from the gear linkage at the back of the box then dripping on to the hot exhaust. Stripped the lever to find that they should be a rubber gasket in there after taking advice from one of the HSV boys. Luckily for me I had a spare box in stock that has the gasket fitted!
