speaking of which, look out for a mazda ute on bags with a gtx worked mill and a mx5 box, in the build right now OUT WEST!!

hmm, different and UGLY! they are entering the market with shitty little applications first so even if they move onto cars itd take forever to see it come around. and of course it isnt going to wipe out tyres/rims as we know them, theres a million businesses out there dealing with the classic format, dunno how they would react to this

i went to {edited} motors a month ago cause im running broke but they got some new guys in that check the car HARD, even failed me on shit that shouldnt really have been picked up. ... needless to say i was there on saturday for a re-check

this confuses me if you get aftermarket inserts they are just gonna be the same lenght as original ones wont they? i dont think you can get ssky inserts shorter off the shelf??? someone correct me if im wrong

if you put the tyres on, whos gonna know?

Arrow wheels in auckland could probably do it but im guessing its too far away. i suppose it involves chopping the rim down the half and welding a new section in?

still lookin bro ive been told the 760s run 2pots only and the 4pot model is the 240 waiting to hear back tho

ok, heres the story hori (get the dozen ready ) rang a couple volvo wreckers and they said for a mean car like yours just go for something new. the old volvo calipers they have are pretty sad. had a nice chat with a chick at one wrecker's that said she personally wouldnt touch them, she said they have some old volvo 4pots but they actually look even sadder than some VW single pots that they have. your best bet is to get some Willwood brand new ones that will get over the disk no prob but you'll have to make up some mounting brackets cause the odds of them bolting up are 1/1000000. they are "dynalite" (smaller) at $248+ gst each or "superlite" (bigger) at $298+gst, so its does cost an arm and a leg but personally id say your car is worth it available from Cardwell Racing Supplies , 32 William Pickering Dve Albany Auckland, 0-9-415 1388, also "Race Brakes" at 0800 brakes! ill se what else is out there

PSYCOV6: do you know what model volvo callipers youre after exactly? might be able to chase some up for ya in the big smoke

yeah yeah i know bro truth be told, i refuse to think that some random wof tester monkey can tell me whats right and wrong with my car. im not particularly good with cars or the man at fixing them and shit, but took me years to put this mofo together and i know all the weak links and shit better than some mechie thats seen it for the very forst time on the day... if this makes any sense

havent even started it on a cpuple or 3 weeks. just sortin out repairs for a wof on the 4wd at the moment and then ill get a dodgy wof for the esky

just do what i did man, chop a oversize gearstick hole in the floor then you can do flinstone stoppage styles

i have seen a couple of mk 4/5 cortinas with 1.6s in them ive even seen a blue cortina with factory 1.3 badges, i swear. dont know how genuine tho but it was a standy one in average cond

dont know if APs will be harcore enough for this man's application hey dave, just get some damn parachutes

make shure the engine mounts are done up, been there before use to shake the shit out of the xflow happened onmy delta too and used to make the exhaust hit the xmember doubt its the same fukt up thing but u never know

im pretty shure the 1300 and 1600 boxes are the same, unless youre talking rs or mex or something dunno bout speeds tho coz ive always ran a 5speed and never had a speedo

i think they quoted me just over a hundy for a pair of eskys. so round the same price youd pay for an aftermarket pair dude... but not at fag n turbo of course

or a 289?

man.. im shure this has been covered before on a few topics ay

(i still voted for the pinto tho )

if you already got the box and got plenty of info, i s'pose that 4age is just as good a conversion as any other. wont need to modify things as heavily as you would with a sr/rotang turbo motor. 4age is very well established in motorsport and mods and is a nice little alloy engine with 120 or so hp, plus very force feedable. worth it if youre keen and gonna do it right.

i dont think so bro.. mine hasnt been picked up ever! mind you, i seem to always come across islander, indian and asian mechies or just plain munters

RT your just biased as hell haha go both the pinto and kent i reckon! just depends on taste and final power output wants

yeah, its just up to the manifold.. oh and the annoying throtle linkage thingy for the accelerator cable, which can be annoying

although i dont even think youll have to mod the mounts to tell you the truth.. might just be able to use another model standy mounts like early cortina or something. a mate of mine droped a 3l 6 in his 4dr mk2 and didnt even mod the mounts, or maybe just trimmed the rubber bits to fit it in. just chuk your battery in the boot for extra space and mod the sump. not a 100 percent tho
