doesnt look too bad. quick question though, were you towing with a ST200? those arent rated for towing. Can with a ST24 but due to the 200's suspension and engine set up they have no towing allowance. So not only knackering car also driving illegally. why a friend of mine got a ST24 as he towes his fiesta XR2 race car.

 

same issue with the ST220 mk3.

Well the Issue with ST220 is that thanks to the exhausts there really isn't any space left for mounting the towbar. There's no problem with ST200. Just get a normal Type E approved tow hook and off you go. Ford was always difficult like this - there are no towing limits for Sapphire Cosworth for example. Why ? Normal Sapphire tows just fine, can't see any reason why Cossies can't.

Should be suitably mental Kev, but when you gonna get lucifer 2 finished lol poor thing will be getting seriously jealous off you turboing a van. Good contrast in white though will look mint towing L2 to track days :)

 

 

Lucifer 2 is all good mate, getting loads a love still, having loads plowed into it following Christmas and should be out on track and show next year.

 

Not much to buy for it really just time putting it all together lol this van is done on evenings so not taking time away from my L2 project.

 

PMSL! You're nuts!

 

Oh, and PMSL @ "flange!"

 

You like it then mate? lol
