What kind of motor is in that Mondeo in the first vid?

Destroked 2.5L from the old Mazda 626/Ford Probe. It's destroked from 2.5L to 2.0L to meet the FIA regs for touring cars from the mid to late 90's.

Unless they put in a different motor.

its a race built seqential gearbox, its very similar to an F1 gearbox, but no paddle shifters. Instead its just a bar he pushes forward for a downshift, and pulls back for an upshift. With a sequential gearbox the driver can only go gear for gear, so 1->2->3->4 or 4 ->3->2 etc, which is faster than a traditional manual.

anyone notice (first vid) it had a mk2 front and a mk1 rear??

 

[Wien_Sean]

Yeah it says it in the description of the vid.

Where can I find a front bumper like that for my 98 contour? That makes it sooo sick.
