bend up a new rail or buy second hand

Did you know you can still buy the rev counter ones new. I got mine reconed and the guy told me. $350 for new one. dayymn

Those golden oldies ones are mint as

Something like this would look cool. http://www.hrww.com/nickel/DH32FC.JPG They do all these gauges in the above link style. VDO CLASSIC Clock Fuel Gauge Oil-Pressure Gauge Speedometer Tachometer Temperature Gauge Instrument Kits Voltmeter Heres a better site. http://www.nhspeedometer.com/contour.htm

these ones arnt what i was thinking of but ok http://img.boatsandoutboards.co.uk/pics/F54844.jpg

was thinking the same thing on my but with smiths gauges. Wanted to stay oldschoolish. VDO do some mean as oldschool styled gauges. Real expensive tho. maybe have a look at them, suit the era of car nice.

Looking very good. Am using the same engine in my escort someday in the near future. What ya going to do to the engine? whats the use of the car going to be?

Helpfull. Whats the difference with the axle in the 6stud one? I have a 6stud housing drums and axles that i was intending to shorten with a LSD head. Am I on the right track? Also what car you got above Nominal and where ya from?

most mki1 escorts have both too. Some have kmp bigger some have the mph bigger. Josh: Post some pics up along the way would be cool.

Supose the shortening is the hardest part. Have heard they(hilux) are a bastard to cut down as the axles are shaped like a cylinder, making it harder to line up when a peice is cut out, is this right or b/s?

Real clean, spray floor with a lil water to keep dust down.

YEAP i know It all equals fukn expensive. Most speedo gauges are in MPH. VDO do a mint KPH one but are even more more more expensive. Im doing what you said but with smiths gauges,

Since im broke at the mo itd have to be pretty cheap. As in 5 bucks. Kidding whats the price tag on all that and what size disks, stud patern, diff etc. Are you talking the hilux diff?

Where do i find one of these. I have been looking at just the heads and they are all around the $500 mark

trade me has them on all the time.

For fucks sake. Does anyone who starts these posts go into panel beaters and ask before they ask on here? Almost any panel beater will roll gaurds. its their friggin job.

Nah eagers are soft and wear fast. Smoke good because they are soft. Alot of people here mock them I have seen. I have driven on multiple sets of eagers and in my eyes they are good tires. Better than any of the other shit i have had. Nankang, Silverstone, cheap Michelins. The set of toyo proxy t-1s were better though. But they damn well should be for the price.

I remember when i was looking via google for my brake upgrade there was heaps of shiz on anglias. Give google a hit. There was also a cam for the 1500 on trademe a while back. probably gone now however. I know a Kent cam is only $70 to get ground. My pinto cam was only $150 and that was including the blank cam and refacing lifters. Maybe take a standard good condition cam in and get a grind on it. be cheaper than trademe plus ya get a good grinmd and one you want.

Have you thought about 13bt. Although a dent in the wallet for gas.

Well good onya for doing a better burnout than in the pic. Im proud of you.

FWD is gay on desiel?

mates wag. Ran a 13.?? that has 3sgte

Supercharger with the revy 4age would be nuts. Turbo: You can buy kits from the states and shit. HKS do a manifold. google it. Sr20det who said itd need to move radiator forward. Its going to fit in my escort engine bay without moving shit so surely would fit in ke70. Ca18det is a lot smaller engine than sr20det with the same benifits. Thatd be my personal choice if you didnt want to cut things big time. Fj20 is another option. Or keep it toyota with 3sgte

2g is real cheap for a bare metal spray. I paid round $2200 and when we added all the shit up like paint, primer, welding and estimated his sandpaper usage he only made shit all. He said that half way through the job tho. Thats why it took 6months. Panel was $900 Paint was >$450 Primer was >$200 Clear >$200 maybe Sandpaper >$100 Masking and other >$100 So thats $1750 without taking labour or power or bog into count. So that means he made round $400 for 6 months of cunty work. Bugger that for a joke. Maybe go for a little more expensive one.

and if your going to the effort might as well make it a 3sgte. I have a friend with one. goes fukn hard. Did some good burnouts at the nats too
