Focus Cosworth RWD
Discussion
Hi guys,
Been a while since I've been to any PistonHeads meetings, but looking to get back into weekend drives now that work has eased off.
The car itself I'm finally happy with, recently sorting the clutch and box rebuild. Just waiting for May and July for the next Nurburgring trips, which it's pretty much reduced to doing due to time constraints these days.
Cheers,
Al

I'm at the Ring from the 6th-10th July, but flying over in May to stay with a friend to watch the VLN.
The diff cover is custom, but the diff itself is a MK3 Toyota Supra 3.73 LSD with a Weir Performance kit inside. But mounted on a 6 degree fully adjustable rear beam. Very trick stuff

Probably over the past 11 years, but I just keep all receipts and don't add them up
The gearbox is a standard Borg Warner T5, best compromise really for a mix of driving. Considered an Elite Sequential, but it would just be a ballache in the long run. So had the box fully rebuilt in January, so should be good for another 30 years now

I love the Racing Puma. Did you see the full carbon one that was on ebay not long ago? That would have been a nice project, full on 4x4 or RWD. But tbh I wouldn't do it to a genuine Racing Puma, just do what the Gibbs boys did as SCS and modify the engine so it's like the Super 1600 used to be. Easily achieve over 200bhp on that engine without a turbo.
