Interesting rear suspension. smiling smiley

I like the 3-link in my Mazda, but the Starlet will probably get the 4-link.

Any of you guys have an idea what that diff is? It looks strangely similar to a full-floating Gp. 4 Atlas with the Dural brace used in the Escorts. The whole look of the rear suspension feels like a copy of the 4-link set-up. I guess Ove Andersson went back to his roots as he and TTE designed the car.

I posted it over on Turbobricks where I've been trying to teach people that motors are easy, but if you want to have a god predictable car, you don't have to "discover" or "finger out" everything, that was nailed down 25-30 years ago, you just gotta do it.

Sure was fast when I saw them. Chew tires to cords in 6-7 miles.
LONG travel.
