Just rembered theres a place in NZ that specialises in toyota/ford 4cyl race parts etc

*thinks*

http://www.palmside.co.nz

try there, they have carbs and manifolds.

si

If your really keen,

A 2L ford Zetec engine would be the way to go,

(they bolt into cortinas with cortina mounts) but not sure about the mounting on a escort,

yes the engine is out of a FWD

yes it will bolt to a sierra 5spd

only thing that may need to be changed is the water rail to move the thermostat housing to the front.

they can get the parts in for ya

Stick with the webers,

Ah yeh well considering those are the only two photos of those cars on the gallery pages of that event, yet there are front, back, side, top photos of some of the other cars that didnt even win awards :S

makes me rather angry....

Chairs for the info Alfaholic, good to know the coathangers are alive n kicking

si

Does anyone know anything at all about these cortinas?

As seen at the 4andRotary nats in the SI.

camo is mint if done properly,

Anyone see the camo ceifro in that issue of REV magazine?

IMO camo should be done in big blocks of color

si

nah it aint that obvious, yeh if you know what your doing then youll find it

but still, if someone really wants to steal your car then they will no matter what.

Datsunboy its a mk5 cortina,

yeh a quadcam v8 (1uzfe) would be the shiz

cheers kyteler i will keep that list in mind,

only issue would be the wheel offset,

the best offset for a cortina is 35mm

*goes hunting*

Rather than go for a switch to turn off the fuel pump or electrics, the previous owner set up a unit to block off the fuel line,

I recall i think its a simlar solenoid thingy (blue bit) they use in petrol/lpg setups.

altho, a setup like this, with the kill switch in teh GO positon

uses bout 2AmpH,

so dont forget to switch it

82 cortina

Project is now up to finding and fitting a new diff.

cortin diff heads being the non-removable type, its basicaly one hell mish to get it all sorted.

once thats done is gettin a a few dents fixed, and trying to find some ford focus alloys (seem to be the onlyones that will fit) for it.

After being around for 22 years now, my cars bumpers, mirrors, louvers etc have faded considerably, what ways do you ppl recommend getting them back to there orginal state?

i have tryed a few bumper/vinyl products, they dont seem to do the job though ? any ideas?

Also Vinyl roofs, what products you can recommend?

Chairs,

Si

ok pick any car ever built pre 80's of course.

pre

80s blah

my cars a 83 and its still old skool so grrrrrrrrrr

yep as zep said dont loose any bits, and if your replacing something DONT destroy the old part!

pxt em to me and ill upload them to here,

0212936949.

A pic of the Tshirt would be good zep, i dont really have a use for stickers, louvers spoil the fun

If the tshirt looks good id be keen,

enuff said.

Thats a stock manifold there mate , bolting on a turbo would basicaly be a bitch. adding a turbo to a carbed engine is a nasty nasty peice of work.

better option would be to get hold of a 2L cosworth turbo engine, they pretty much bolt up, however they are as rare as ****.

my engine is stock as for now, only real mods to the car havnt been done by my self, but the previous owner.

They include:

5 speed sierra gearbox

ReCored radiator(covered in mesh)

Electronic ignition (some came with it some didnt, i think this car has had it transplanted in)

AIR HORNS woot

Hella light kit ( square lights in grill) (these are the brighest car lights i have seen!)

Just gotta piss you off tho, i had a 2.8L turbo capri engine all lined up, was just waitin on the price from the dude, then he goes n sells it :S

270$ for a engine that woulda prolly trippled the HP of the 'tina

Um yeh it did in that pic,

The middle of the front valance is now about a inch away from teh radiator... had a issue with a rock.

other than that is okay, the paint on a few panels has been redone as can been seen on teh different shades of blue.

The only prob with it is this!! cast iron boat anchor, er i mean 2L shit engine:

Love the wood

Aint she just gawgeous

Yay for no f%kin leafeys!

A lot of engine swaps are possible, from 2L Cossie turbos, through to 2.8L Capri engines (some also turbo) then of course the v8 options.

If you do buy one, the first thing to do is put 205 tires on all round.

Trust me they will save your ass

Si.
