Looks like fun! Nice shots too. Who's your photographer?

Lookin good mate.
 
Get any video?
 
Matt

no vids as of yet, gotta see what comes up on the interwebs
 
pictures are by zeroclearance.net

best thing about the whole thing is, drifted all day, changed wheels drove home and drove it daily for the next week then did a hills run weekend just gone
 

 
didnt take long to find the limits of the 175/60 through the hills, gotta find some 7inch wide rims and run some decent tyres

some more photos

 

 

 

need some advice guys, not sure weather to buy another set of 13" rims and fit them with either the avon semi's i have or get a set of R spec 205/60r13's
 
or
 
buy a set of 195/50r15 R spec tyres and fit them to my 15x7 superlites
 
Both options will require me to make removable shims up for my castor bar so i dont have to pull the front end apart when i change rims, just loosen main nut remove or add shims, secure shims so they dont drop out (not sure how yet), and retighten nut.
Both the 195/50r15 and the 205/60r13 come in at about 575mm rolling diameter, but i know my 15's will fit with a little less castor not sure about a set of 13x7 wheels as most are a neg offset or near 0 which with my slightly wider diff may cause problems fitting a 205 under the back.
 
any advice appreciated 

Looks wicked.

Pretty big weekend just gone,
decided to drive up to NSW for the Small Ford Car Club Concourse and Display day and the RS Owners Club of Australia concourse.
 

 
All up i travelled around 1900km, left at 6 saturday morning and got home just after midnight sunday/monday. Based on some figures i took off random tanks of fuel i was getting about 9.6L /100km which considering the car sits on 110kmph at 3500+rpm i thought was pretty good.
 
next time i go up i may run a slightly larger diameter tyre and or run a different diff ratio, it should in theory greatly increase my fuel economy.
 
night driving on the hume = lots of dead bugs
 

Awesome effort Mish. Good work getting on up to both the shows. And glad you got back ok too.
I'll stick a couple of pics of your car up once I get them loaded to the internets.
 
Here you go.

thanks for the pictures, i was good to prove (mostly to myself) that the car could do the trip, not a single problem was had which is a nice change. Just trying to plan where to head next
