I will be racing in Nascar sport Compac up here in Montreal Canada , its about 1 hours drive from me , since I live in Ontario.
I got a ton of tips to give you to make your car handle but since my speeling is limited I will do my best t ogive you a few hints.
1992 to 1994 ford tempo V6 front bar " torsion bar" its much bigger.
GABRIEL utra shocks " Beter then KYB and Monro Sensa a track.
to give camber to your right front wheel its lots of work but here is the best way .
take it off the car take all the parts off brakes shocks bearing ,
now get it in a hydrolic press solidly, now head the knukle a bit under were the shocks mounts up to the knukle and give it 5 to 6DEG of tilt "
dont go anymore then that or your tire will touch the shock " let cool and re instal it , or get the lower control arm off a FWD lincond mark 8 its longer then the escort and will tilt the wheel. yes it fits " not 100% sure on model since i got mine in a scrap yard." drop the car to 5" from the ground.
coil overs would be nice. now depending on the track you have , you will need different gears , has for a tranny gear well you only have 2 choise
3.33 t o1 or 3.73 to 1 you have this one in the GT now this is were you will know witch one you need. Im full of trick and help for you if you need.
