Have we ever seen an 86 with independent suspension that did well at the track? Anyone have any links?
I always look at the escort mk2 to get an idea of what is possible with the 86. This guy seems to do pretty well, despite the live axle handicap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d01VBR5nKPw And on undoubtedly bumpy roads too.. Live axle works good enough for him to be able to compete for the fastest time of the day with the single seater racecars. Colin McRae built an escort mk2, with IRS etc etc to compete with his brother (4 linked GP4 escort). He did well, but never beat the live axle cars. If you really need an IRS car, then I think its better to just sell the 86 to someone who appreciates it and buy an S13 or MX5. Most IRS conversions end up performing worse...which is sometimes an advantage in drifting. A wheel to steer the front of the car A pedal to steer the rear |
