  1. Not too long finally found the color i had in my head after flicking through hundreds of pages, prep work is under way i'll try get some photos up. Getting block sanded etc right now. Ended up being alot straighter than we thought Should be done in like two weeks all painted up
  2. I just don't like modgies man. But thats just me, yeah pretty much same places. cracked up when i saw your thread almost looked the same Work in Palmerston North, up in Whangarei during summer n shit
  3. why not put the 1.8BPT and running gear you've got in, if its capable of 300hp that'd be more than enough to put a smile on my face also any luck finding a lsd diff head?
  4. coming along mean ..looks like its going to look similar to how my car used to be haha Did you find out whether you had a 1300 or 1600 cause i'm going to be selling my 1600 early next year if keen on a 1600 crossie
  5. This is modded to fit the Sr into my escort. (yeah don't buy shit without seeing it happy with engine mounts etc though) Could i interchange outside with the one that's on the new engine i buy? ....I don't know exactly how its been modded
  6. Haven't made up my mind yet.. I asked the guy a few questions & didn't get back to me. Thinking of just upgrading shocks to a set of Bilstein tarmac (300/70) unsure whether to get Long or Short though. Also springs to suit.
  7. Just wondering if this is usable? doubt you could repair it - sorry about phone pic's Just has damage to exterior as shown Thanks.
  8. Yeah im keen. Just hard having no ride/borrowing cars n shit. I'll make it when i get it back from the paint
  9. Yeah could be? Was located in nelson Bought it for 5,600 not that cheap. Considering the work it needed. Thought it was alright at the time though
  10. Hey man Yeah can't seem to find many under 4.1 .. There is one 4.1 on tm @ $550 just the head. Is this what you pay for em? Think i'll go with the hilux
  11. Thinking of putting a Aletezza Diff head into a F series or similar. Thoughts on this? Just finding a hilux Lsd below 4.0 will be few and far between + costly. Also they are quite big.
  12. Hi, am after a LSD Diff between 3.7 and 4.0. I think 3.7 will be good should sit on about 2600rpm at 100k The 4.0 will sit on around 2900rpm at 100k Thinking of sourcing a hilux, get it shortened etc. Anyone got some hook ups?
  13. Oh ok, how much would you like for em?
  14. Hey, got them from ralloy.com - Brand new They were £48.50 + £20.00 shipping. Yeah could be keen man. So if i get some new shocks i want 300/70. I can install them and your adjustie kit onto my struts? Do you know where in Palmy i can get this done? Cheers
  15. Just bought it from palmside.. Wouldn't be hard to make one though
  16. Decided to go with the SR20! Mounts & G Box tunnel
  17. Couple of photos of my rust free escort, Stoked.
  18. Just hit them up they have one b1600 overpriced though. $350, unknown ratio, no brakes and its open. Might get a more modern/common hilux Lsd diff, get it shortened and correct pcd's drilled I'll think about the pinto obv cheap, easy etc.......but i'm power hungry 250hp is the minimum i'm after really
  19. Oh yeah i'll try and track me down one, see what i find first haha where you find yours? local wrecker? Yeah keen as, i'll have to wait till i get my wheels back though ...escorts my only ride
  20. Yeah i changed my diff around to some unknown ratio a while back, highways were no fun... winding roads well thats another story Interesting shit on the diff man, i'm just going to start looking for a rn25. But now i'm thinking if i should look into a b1600 as well. What made you go for the b1600, did it just pop up so you bought it
  21. Fast Street car right now. Main reason i want to upgrade the suspension is to handle the new power the car is going to have. So whatever is going to be safe i guess. Wouldn't mind taking to the track now and then ....then looking way down the track when i'm older i'll set it up for classic rally
  22. Don't think I'll buy these. Will look into making some, just have no welding skills chur
  23. Just after some help choosing my front coil-overs These are going for $1000 or $1350 with adjustable gas inserts (was thinking 300/70 for up the front) Heres some info and a pic of them, cheers Escort Mk2: * Professionally converted to 2.25, they have been further up-rated to Group 4 Spec, with wedged Stub axles for extra strength. * Brand new 2¼ inch springs. * Brand new heavy duty KYB gas inserts or Gaz adjustable inserts. Thoughts?
  24. Haha, used to live near where that's taken ... classic
  25. New wheels, Stoked! Got the pcd re-drilled to 108mm do they fit... They aren't much wider than my old wheels, although they sit 10mm closer to the strut due to offset I have 7mm clearance, plus my tires will have a very slight stretch so they won't close this gap up anymore. This picture will explain what i mean
