masses of front +camber plus the rest of boso stuff ftw.

he's talking about positive camber = looks rude and affects handling.

negative camber is what your talking about.

yeh just give them a good clean/polish with the mothers

stuff, (works well, used it b4)

then silicon spray them. helps to repel water from sitting in spots.

try using crc on the insides of them too, cos if the outside surfaces

are starting to rust ... watch out the for the insides

sounds like you've got just old saggy suspesion,

lowering a escort 2 inches will be sweeet,

just do it right the 1st time.

dobi sport do some 2 inch lowered coils for the front,

get some new shocks shortened to keep the coils captive.

if you've got the money, get new nolathane bushes etc for up front.

leaves, get new shocks in the rear, either take out your leaves

and get them compressed, archers or snells springs, and ask them

to add an extra leaf in to stiffen them up, or just get some two

inch lowring blocks made for the rear with new U bolts to suit

the ute with a 13b turbo series 5 standard engine with just an external, should be able to do 12's with ease.

not with no traction it wouldnt,

you'll honestly find that a ute that small, would just struggle

to move, the wheels would be spinning at 100k's, but youd be sitting

still

not saying it wouldnt be fun, but i rekn the 10A idea in the ute

sounds awesome, but could be expensive

keep the wagons standy engine and lower it on some wheels for a mean

original looking cruzer,

and do up the ute, paint it two tone, white and baby blue. hubbies,

white walls and some sort of rotary under the hood

my old girlfriend was sweet about cars,

yeh she'd get pissed at me everynow and then, mainly

cos of the money i'd spend on it

but yeh, she's gone now. so its just me to complain and

nag at myself to do shit

not really, rx2's on trademe going for 18K plus, that arent

even vinned in newzealand.

its a 616, who cares ... probably rarer than a rx2 anyways,

i would of left the 616 rear lights in, just to be different ...

dont know anything about the car, it could be a sack, it could

be mint,

but hell, considering rx323's go for this sort of coin these days

just gotta find some original hubcaps,

some south islanders must have them

yeh it was the 1 on trademe with 18" simmons and the series 1 (10a) rx3

front on it, got it cheaper as i already have 17's for it,

and rx3 nosecones are worth up to 2grand.

the 17's dont look the best on it, so am just thinking of finding

some 808 hub-caps and getting white-walled tyres, lowering it

a bit more too

cheers for the comments everyone, now jsut gotta do the hard

part and save the cash to paint it.

yeh roof racks will probly stay on, depends what 'theme' i go with.

white walls, hubcaps = roof racks stay on.

if i decide to put on the 17's once its lower, then the roof-racks will go.

i suppose its a good thing having a 'set limit' as to how loud

an exhaust can actually be, but how is testing it during WOF

time going to stop someone modding there exhaust once they've

got the WOF and back out on the streets,

and how is the Policeofficer thats pulled the person over going to be

able to tell its over 'the set limit', are they all going to carry

Dba meters with them???

still not going to stop cops handing out fines for being 'too loud, cause

i think it is' ...

sux for me, cos none of my rotors have been quiet

shit, that was quick,

cheers guys for the comments,

wasnt planning on selling the seven, but i got offered money

i couldnt refuse.

the 808 has a 13B bridgeport already fitted, 48mm IDA,rx5 gearbox.

going to upgrade the rear end, either B1600 lsd modded to suit,

or just find a bolt in mazdaspeed lsd head.

re-spray is happening soon too, its all original paint, so as the seven

was, its showing its age in a few places, but overall the car is mint,

interior is all factory and mint too.

got it for less than what i sold the seven for too

*SOLD*

people from hamilton might see a white rx7 cruzing round on modgies

Thats my old one

but yay

my new ride

dont you want to keep the heat in your manifold?

ceramic coating could be the way to go? much cheaper than HPC

The colour looks totally different in the sun these piks were takin at night

The engine is a 12A PP with 50mm CNC'D Ports and CNC'd exhaust

Racing oil system Blah Blah

it will be runnug a fully built rx2 box till i sus out a S4 Box

it was 60 hours for the engine bay (KERRYN)

hey , that white seven looks familar, well, the rims do anyways.

think you bought it rolling body off me? you end up fixing the

damage, or just using it for parts for the other 1?

well we waiting around til almost 10:45

what colours your 7?

were you crusing round town afterwards?

true, its white,

yeh drove round 4 a little bit

i was late, but im sure i saw a few escorts cruzin round ...

pretty in punk's one im sure

every person to there own but personally i like the rims and id never go higher than a 13in

fair enough, 13's are all good, maybe just find something

that aint as wide, and with the correct offset.

i'll find a pic of my mates mk2 tina, he's got some sort of spitfire

type looking wheels, and it sits low as. runs 205/60/13 nankangs.

meet at 9:30pm at the musemum carpark below the main entrance (the regular meeting place) then at about 10pm we can do a few laps of queens or wherever we can make this decision on the nite.

are any admin going to be turning up or are they useless as per usual?

cool, thanks for clearing it up.

if the weathers good, i should be there

you'll hear me before you see me

nice van i liek evrything about it except the rims

i like the rims a, gunmetal colour goes nice withthe silver

of the van ...

glad to see the van goin again!

sorry i just dont like those gold rims u got on the rear!

fuck trying to fit them and drive without messing up your guards.

just find some rims that'l fit in there without flares. lipping guards

is about as far as i'd go

i see it says meet up around 9-30 - 10pm ish.

where abouts? museum? greenlane mc D's carpark?

just got a wof 2day on the 7,

so i might come along for a gander too,

havent met any1 off here yet ...

theres your MR ONION fellas!

haha! i dont know 1 of those bands

fuk i gotta get with the time

so any1 know all the internationals and nz bands going?

like a list or something ....

so far i dont think i recongise 1 bands name that has been mentioned

i must be sooo out with the times for metal music

old people like oldschool cars though, memories etc. plus oldies get pissed off with all the evos with their loud exhausts

haha, thats so true, for some reason my mate can get away

with murder in his mk2 cortina, been pulled over heaps after

getting crossed up through roundabouts etc, cops just basically wana

have a chat and comment about how they or there old man used to

drive 1

sux when i take the 7 out though, almost never ending hassles from

cops, can never get away with anything in that car

pretty much wat every1 has already said.

ke70's are still relatively easy to find parts for, so if your after

something that wont be stinging you $$$ everytime your after a few parts

then look into getting a 4 door wagon version of those.

Ke36 wagons are the better looking of the two (my preference), but

thats probably just cos you dont see as many round as ke70's.

theres a dark green rotary ke36 wagon around tauranga ways i think

on 17 or 18's chrome raptors, looks wicked

heres a pic of it
