and I have gotten rid of the orange escort as there is way too much rust for me. But picked up another one with no rust for $700 so winning! and a z32 gearbox for $500. Just need an adaptor for the z32 box to sr20 and looks like the Alphaomega kit is the go, just gotta save $2k plus postage :(
 

I would guess he just used a turret kit like the rally escorts did.... Well it's what I done to a car years ago and worked fine
