bigmatt4 Posted September 25, 2012 Share Posted September 25, 2012 i have just scored a hilux diff head with what looks to be a spartan diff locker in it anyone had any experience on the driveabilty of these diffs on the road want the car to be fun to drive but not dangerous (missus will drive it too). build has slowed down now for a while due to funds got the brake system almost complete. Driveshaft getting made at the moment also on the look for some 2litre capri struts decided the v6 struts will be too much hassle for future brake upgrade. parts list is getting shorter though just need 2litre capri struts new brake hoses driveshaft hoop rear caliper mounts axles modified for escort stud pattern hydraulic release bearing paint and lots of reassembling to do so wont be xmas this year but surely next fingers crossed 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigmatt4 Posted September 30, 2012 Share Posted September 30, 2012 ive built my own pedal box copied of a gartrac changed the brake pedal ratio and and have adjustable bias. dont want a booster i like to feel the pedal. Im only gonna run standard brake discs on front to start with then will later update to vented discs. the Brakes arnt to bad in an escort anyway they are a farily light car. For rear im running aw11 mr2 rear calipers havnt yet decided on the discs yet either mr2 or civic will see because i still want to retain 13" wheels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bmxnz11 Posted December 2, 2015 Share Posted December 2, 2015 So nice, loving the engine bay! Pretty much what i'm going for in my van. If you need spare side windows and rubber for the sides, i've got 4 spare which i took out from mine/probably different shape or size.
