Nah man, 1600s have bigger valves. but you could get the 1300 and put the 1600 valves in it. i think the 1300 head is higher comp too but im not too sure on that one.

i know you can mod the front struts to fit. need to be shortened i think and then massive toe in correction and you're right as rain.

i think you can use the g/box xmember too, or mod the esky one. either or.

"Click"

You're On Track Promotions off NZPC aren't ya

Also known as Andrew Smith. you ripped it up bad at skidfest dude.

"How old does a car have to be to be an Old School Ride??" ... well, how long is a piece of string?

I say its to do with the style of the car not a pacific year. i think boxy early 80s dxs and starlets are borderline oldskool, yet they do have something about them. and enough with the honda bashing ok? sure there are some right fags who roll round in their "pimped to da max civic" but old hondas are still pretty cool.

Go the n360!

Don't get a DX. Get a KE man, wayyyy better! IMO anyway

I second that man. I wondent mind a nice 26 or 36 my self.

astro turf instead of carpet

im digging that idea.

My guess is 4.11:1 or 3.89:1. Haha, look at thos rich guys with tachs

2nd E = FWD small car

Are you sure? I'm just thinking KEs and AE85/6 ????

/confused.

Dude, thats mint as!

And what colour is that??

Nah, they have different heads. 1600s have larger valves.

Heh, half of us have stocker 1300s.

Im just gonna say 140 max so far.

Now, whos gone fastest in 2nd!?!?! 80km, beat that.

I had dreamz of dropping a 12A or 13B Bridgeport in2 my 75 Esky, but my dad sez I can only have a 1600.

Con him into a std 12a..only 140hp. "Come on dad, its only 1200cc... what harm is it gonna do?" lol

Yea you are right Jerm.

jaymz, i dunno why your mate would say that. the 'type 9' 5 speed is basically a 4 speed with an extra gear with a ratio of 0.89:1 or somthing.

nah i know what BDAs are but what are BDGs?

BDGs are a 2lt version. With a whole new block made by cosworth i htink, and a BDA head. if you get what i mean, the end letter is just the different capacity.... Big Dave will know more no doubt.

I think you can get a BDJ whick is 1100 or something... hehe, could be wrong tho. But a BDG block costs around 3000 pounds or something crazy.

1600 Ghias were 4dr... and auto.

Sports are 2dr, aswell as most RS' all tho australia did have 4dr rs2000s.

Hey Dave, long time no see! Glad to hear the eskys came over ok.

You say your YB has a 205 block?? Im not sure, i might be confussed, but do some of the 80s Sierras have a sohc pinto with a 205 block? Or is that block just for Cossies?? Also there are non Cossie Saphires over here, with a dohc 2lt, would this have a 205 block?

If i think what im saying (in a round about way ) is true, then could you grab a 2lt sierra and slap a Cossie head on it? Or am i way off.

Cheers,

Shaun.

140km/h in the esky. 4 speed 1300, sounded kinda whiney...

This is rowans esky, currently for sale: http://trademe.co.nz/Trade-Me-Motors/Ca ... 460776.htm

It used to be Chris Trundle's, the 16year old who did the targa last year in a white esky. Its got a tuned up pinto with 130hp @ treads

and do you know the colour of the RS1800???

If its a genuine RS1800 then it will be white with blue stripes down the side. God knows how much money it is worth if it is a genuine one, there were only 109 road going ones that left the factory.

Yea, should do. Arnt a sprinter box just a k50??

A ae86 uses a t50, which is just a stronger box.

cough..probably not the right attatude but if you really need the car grab some std wheels and get your warrent, go back to your mags once you figure out the problem or something...

Nah, im pretty sure a std 12a makes around 140hp. Or thats what my mate told me, and hes a rotor head. He wants to rotorize his oldskool bemma with a 12a bridgy. hehe, rotor head.

I struggle to see how 1600 will be similar price to a 4a-ge or sr20.

A good 1600 xflow could set you back 300-500$ depends on any mods or condition. A 4a-ge and t50 box will probably set you back 1000$ and then you have to get the loom too, and a sr20det maybe 2000$??

Dont quote me on the prices but id say there is a differnce.

my escort does 50kph in 4th at about 2000rpm (1.3L)

Haha, try doing 140k with a 4spd. wound (sp?) it up the other day, bout 8 in the morning, stuff all cars around on the m'way, turned the beats up to drown out the whine, lol.

As for project, i just got the 1300 esky atm, looking for a 2dr to do up but I need some ka-ching-bling-bling.
