W8NSEE

yea that could be a go, but the thing is your in crappy ol auckland

possibly could be keen id have to see closer to the time

heh i could be keen for a esky cruse one day, itd just have to be before i start pulling my one apart

thats an absolute cunt that is, gonna be even harder to fix too

Thats crazy man, my escorts running 13x6 and i have no problem with the standard studs, infact i had to replace some of mine but my mechanic never said anything about needing longer studs. Yea you have to remove the drums to do it on a escort, it should take a day, max to do it

nah its meathodz thats doin it aint, hes usin the CA in his escort

hey atro, wats the story with your single sidy manifold, im guessing it wont clear the booster. anyways i could be keen

i know eberyone will hate more saying it but put a vtec into it they do it quiet often in the uk, now that will make it fly

it depends how much time you want to spend on it and how you want the end result to be I am stripping my capri back to bare metal the whole outside has been bare metaled and epoxyed now, i thought it was worth it because i thought the body was pretty good for rust until i got through the paint then hello there were some little spots of rust here and there. Another thing to consider is how long you intend to keep the car as you dont want spend hours and hours of time (like i have) then sell the car a year or to later. In the end it comes down to how long you want to spend doing it (money and time) and how long you intend to keep the car If your going back to metal you dont have to acid dip or blast it with media

yea i agree with alfaholic the 20v's just dont cut it compaired to the good ol 16v

ok anyways, i had to slot my mags when i got them cause they were 4x110 not 108

she will be meaning the high compression crossflow. You used to bebale i think to get a 1300OHC but they are very very rare, correct me if im wrong tho

capri's and escorts hav the stud pattern tho

hey i cant help that im a poor bastard now

thats good lowlancer cause then i might beable to borrow them one day

there is a good as polisher in hamilton, hes down in ellis st. He polished my hotwires to a mirror finish and it only cost $35 per mag. it took a week tho but it worth the wait

the reason why im not goin the 2L route is that i already have another car with 2L in it so now i want to try out the 1600

hey wat sort of power do you expect to get from it if you do wat u said

why wouldnt you port and polish the head when its running twin carbs, port n polishing just creates better flow making the engine more efficent, the more efficent an engine is the more power you will have.

as cool as twin carbs are they are a pain in the ass to keep in tune, seriously xconsider a large single carb instead

have u had your driveshaft out lately cause min made anoise wen u went over bumps, but all it was is that the hanger was not loaded up properly

it does have a straight through with extractors. the exhaust is about 2-2.5"

i just want to change cause i do alot of crusin, and doin 4200rpm for 4hours just gives you a headache

cheers guys ill hopefully be gettn another diff out of my mate 1600sport that should help

Does any one have any idea wat diff ratio my mk1 escort has, cause i have to do 4200rpm to do 100km/h
