  1. http://www.performancewheels.com.au/classic.htm#classic there was a 50 sets of new 13x7" modgies that came into NZ at the start of the month. special order. i heart modz.
  2. theres a park outside my crib haw haw. hell yea. wrap them in 215/50 toyos. agreed. i got a fast fours with an article on a mk2 rs2000 with a zetec in it. on 17s. i might scan it up sometime if anyone is keen on a read. this car is tight. will be nice to see it on the road.
  3. does it say how long lasting it is? wonder if seats would be an option...wouldnt want it rubbing off also digging that paint. with the sr it will be car show material no doubt about it. oh, and fast.

    get over your fear off big nuts. provided certain things go to plan a 12a escort conversion maybe happening early next year.
  8. considering they have the same floorpan/monocoque shell i dont see why not. how ever the early mk1s had a differnt rear shock angle (45degree i think) as the later ones but i think the axle should be the same. anyone correct me if im wrong.
  9. i heard they had type48 shells which was 49 but with less streanthening, ie arount the stut tops. there was a discussion on trademe ages ago and i remember cos i was real interested if the shell was a 49. but yea, anyone else? sorry a tad off topic.
  10. imo the new hilux diffs are the way to go. a solid lsd and something around the price range of $1400 shortened and purchased?? it will need to be shortened, and you can have the track a little smaller if you have larger width wheels at the back, as long as it doesnt hit the tub or the leafs. which is mad score.
  11. sakt on wires, none of this crasy bozuku styles. *waits*
  12. im gonna give a chop a go. just for shits and giggles so you crackheads better do one too. i also have a pic of a random toyota ill chuck up to see if anyone knows what it is.
  13. it was a fiesta and he got 14months in porridge
  14. do you have a dx? or is this for a ohc engine? sounds like you will have to get the cam set up again. so its at the right position at top dead center.

    could be that your engine was running lean. if i think what you are explaining is what i am thinking about.
  16. hehehe hmmmm .... *straight face*
  17. Generally speaking, yes. What engine, and i presume you are converting it rwd...that was a stupid question, who would do a fwd mk2?
  18. ummm, are you sure? i think someone has been telling you porkie-pies. why spend all that money and then have a locker to hinder the turning ablility of the car. i think you mean they have LSDs.
  19. it sounds like you have to much power. i recomend a downgrade to a dihatsu move, honda jazz or similar. ok, so you think yo gots a locker. when you go round a corner does it understeer like a bitch and then as soon as you lose traction at the back snap oversteer? ok, jack up your escort at the back, and spin one wheel. if the other spins in the oposide direction then you have a standard open diff. if they go the same way then you have an lsd or a locker. the idea of your escort having an lsd is not very likely. what kind of esky is it? 1600, 2lt pinto? driving with a locker on a windy bit of road is like pushing shit to the outside of a corner. usually when going round the corner the outside wheel travels faster as it has a lenghtier distance to travel. with a locker they both wanna go the same speed, therefore going straight till they loosed grip and you just hang it out to dry and drift it large. hehe on a side note, me and a mate matt blacked his hiux, then we wanted to dump the suker. anyway we didnt get that far but we knew the lsd was worn. didnt take much of him holding and me spinning to brake it. lsds wear out people! esp after 300,000k lol.
  20. its on the over run. its still in gear and the momentum of the car keeps everything thurning over, therefore the mixture is getting round. then you flick the swtich again, get back up to speed and hit it again. thats if its moving, wait have i fucked something up. maybe it doesnt cut them all. hmmm, i think you could be right lol.
  21. the kits cut the spark to all the plugs so the engine just pumps unburnt fuel/air mixture threw the overrun and the rear one lights and fire.

    Mini Conversion.

    mate told me about a 12at mini, had a 100mm stip sectioned into the middle. and all this other crazy stuff. used a corona box. if i was you id just save up my pennies and stick a 1275 in it. they go quick enough if you tune them a bit.
