That’s a tidy looking Sierra! You don’t see many XR4i’s these days. Is that a Cossie front bumper on it?

Yes, it is a genuine Cosworth bumper.

I have had this car since the late 90's and actually went to England and visited a junk yard to get a bunch of my parts.

Thanks for all of the great feedback. I have been making good progress. I got the original transmission out over the weekend and I am starting to mock up the TR6060 and Tcase. I will have more pictures and I plan to make some videos once I have some good info to share.

Thanks,
Tim

My man you are an animal. Best rally car ever when you get it done.

Are you going mechanically active or part time AWD? 2WD better for burnouts.

It is a variable torque split tcase. I should be able to go from burnouts to locked AWD or anything in-between.

I am going to use this controller. I have called the manufacturer and confirmed it will work with the BW 44 40.

Full-Race makes good stuff. I have their EFR 7163 kit on my STI. The header is ART.

Was that an EXP?

No

I use to get that all of the time, is that an Escort?

It is a Merkur XR4Ti. Which was a European made Ford from the 80's. In Europe it was called the Ford Sierra.

Ordered up an MGW shifter to help mock everything up. I should have a video up soon.

I am almost ready for the scary part, cutting out sections of the floor
