  1. only fancy business people finish things off with initials I have an aeroflow fuel filter sitting here -PT
  2. fast company, he has sex with girls covered in motor oil
  3. Tara no where did it say that the theatre was sorted, or any details actually
  4. ive been to the same place as clint, it was pretty cool, I have no good idea where it is or what its called though
  5. any idea on the time taken to machine that? its awesome
  6. this was the worst bit, looking back on old pics, it was done by the place across the road from where I work now haha. There are some other bits up under the dash and a bit by the drivers footwell. Tomorrow its on to get a panhard rod fitted then the painters after and then finally once my bank account has been destroyed I can start reassembly where more money is still required
  7. yeah keen to see pics of pedal box, have you talked to your certifier about the box yet?
  8. i'll sell you a electronic distributor for $100
  9. some ae model corolla fit, call chris at suspension tech he can sort you out with that kind of stuff
  10. I'll have a yarn to steve tonight about it. Commission can definitely be sorted
  11. how do I go about getting you guys to buy a pickup and drop it off at a depot
  12. why did you need to mess with the pressure relief valve in the first place? that is the first place I would be looking anyway
  13. theres no black magic, just tune it right remembering that these dont have a choke like a normal car, so either up the revs for when its cold and accept a higher warm engine rpm at idle or keep the revs lower and accept a shakey cold engine and normal warm engine revs. Also check the timing, and balance between carbs
  14. I probably would have said low pressure fuel infeed at the bottom of the tank or maybe just slightly higher than the outfeed to the high pressure pump, but I guess that could lead to fuel draining out when the car isnt running depending on the pump. Many other people do it the way you have mentioned by looking around the net so its probably fine too The low pressure fuel pump would not be adding any extra head by discharging into the top of the surge tank (it would but it wouldnt affect anything)
  15. it should fit, although I think the bulkhead is further forward on a mk2 cortina so some exhausts may foul after the collector. Best bet is to check although probably not what you want to hear haha
  16. can I ask what is happening with the setup? I was just going to have a filter and high pressure pump mounted under the boot tray with a fuel regulator and return line in the engine bay in my car. I have read that it works pretty good on escorts due to the vertical tank shape
  17. ae101 wagons are the best shape
  18. hey when you are at your car next, do you think you could measure the inlet face of the head to the inner gaurd for me? I am making up a new intake manifold for my car but my engine isnt fitted and mk2 escorts have different inner gaurds
  19. yeah I removed the vacuum check part out of the pcv valve and ran the hose to a catch can and it works fine. Make sure you get a proper catch can with a tube inside it so that the oil and mist separate properly
  20. Also, I would recommend getting a cooker and chilly bin of some kind so you can take part in tailgate parties. We didnt do it but would have been super sweet if we had prepared for it you can probably spend like a day just driving around all the monuments in washington, its a cool place
  21. I would recommend going to detroit, toronto and niagara falls and also washington
  22. we saw some middle age nz hoes at the salt flats and they were being swamped at the mention that they were from burt munro town 800 miles in a day is a pretty big day get drunk with mexicans and rednecks where possible go hoover dam and new orleans and miami as well, pick some cotton by the mississippi, kennedy space centre thingy but dont need to go inside and the rockets are 100m high and entry fee is like $80. are you going fully east coast? I would have liked to spend some time in Detroit tbh
