  1. If its for an escort, it wont fit no rotor b0e. Although audi's are the same. There may be a chance that you could squeeze and extra 2mm out of the wheel to fit them on a 4x110 but thats not reccomended.
  2. maybe i should be givving mine a tidy up, what is this sandpaper business like? doesnt scratch or anything? i want them shinny as a mofo!
  3. thats because all the panels will fall off!
  4. write a good article and pop it in the workshop submissions

    Just take the car to a mag/tire place.
  8. ill buy a diff then. u have to make sure it is a 3,54 in that case!
  9. the 1300 l is a 3.89 and i think all/most 1600 (cars) where 3.54 and vans ver 4.111 dont take my word for it though
  10. a 3.54 and fat tyres mite be the way to go.........if any one has a 3.54 holla ok
  11. so the gear leaver would be back about 100mm right, what do you do about the centre console!?
  12. You dont need any of that. just sell it to me if you want.
  13. so can we get a guesstamite of how much it would cost all up for parts and labour. Thats the most vital
  14. how do i check? And how come all these old people i talk to think that celica boxes are the best option?
  15. so will a box off a 2L bolt onto the 1600?
  16. sweet as bo. its a 4spd manual. And is it best to get someone to do it that has done that conversion before? I dont think anyone in rotorua would have
  17. thanks escorta, how hard are those boxes on the site to find? and with one, whats a ballpark figure for everything all up installed. i wont be doing any work.
  18. ok so 5spds? i hear all this who-ha about the sierra 5 spd with the 2L but is there any 5spd boxes that bolt up to a 1600 (mk2 escort). Maybe a 1.6L sierra or what? im sure those may be a bit rare. What about toyota boxes such as Celica? If youve heard about this, what year celica boxes are used? Im wanting a 5spd and what would be a decent ball park figure? under 1000? Its going to be good in the long run from fuel savings an engine wear. Also, if anyone has 13 or 14x7 wheels 4x108 i mite be keen. keep the info rolling in!!!!! holla back
  19. yeah those turbo cars can normally handle upto like 3.5 inch(the more work done though) its not a wheel bearing? mine is making some bung noise at around 90+
  20. do all 1600 escorts have a 3.54? and whats the tallest diff that will bolt up to original 1300 parts!?
  21. i think thats for any engine, maybe even more so a rotary
  22. whats the tallest diff you can bolt up to a mk2 escort? i want a 3.54 or less
