My mate has made a mk2 with a 2.8 V6 from a Granada in it, with a twin turbo conversion and rear wheel drive

Hasn't driven it yet, still in the process of finishing it.
He id studying Motorsport Engineering at Uni, so builds that in his spare time.
When I spoke to him last weekend, he told me he had been researching into active roll bars for his car, the same type of thing that was used by Citroen on Seb Loeb's WRC Xsara in the 2006 season, but later banned.
Decided it was a bit expensive though! He also made his own mounts, bolted it all in, then worked out from his calculations that the weight distribution was too far forward, so cut a massive hole in the bulkhead, remade the mounts and moved the engine back 8 inches, then remade the bulkhead.
Think he is running 13 x 8's on the rear, with 235/45/13 or something, looks amazing!
