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

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
