  1. a 3 or 4 link with watts or panhard rod is the best way to run... Much simpler than IRS and you can get LOTS of traction (or no traction if you'd prefer).

    If you want a simple fix - tramp rods on both sides of the diff (mounted from the top), good shocks and the right leaves will be reasonable. Check lownslow's escort thread for a general idea.

  2. Macbuilt or Chequered flag are worth a look. Have heard good things about both.

    Belts can be fitted to eye bolts which need 65x65x3mm support plates under the floor + lock nuts or crush washers. Put them inline with the back of the seat and with less than a 45' angle downwards and you're mint.

    It's all easy work - make it happen! (might join you at port rd too).

  3. even additions? e.g. tieing in the front strut towers if they weren't originally?

    6) Modification of a Homologated Safety Cage / Safety Rollbar

    It is possible to perform modifications to a Schedule A ‘homologated’ or Schedule AA ‘approved’ safety

    cage or safety rollbar under the following conditions;

    • All proposed modifications should be presented to the MSNZ Technical Department for approval

    prior to any work commencing.

    • Once the proposed modification has been completed an Extension Application Form (Form

    T004) shall be completed and submitted to the MSNZ Technical Department for acceptance and

    update (re-validation) of the existing homologation.

    • An Extension Application is only valid where tube members are added that are not part of the

    principal structure. This will include; side intrusion bars, harness mounting bars, reinforcements,

    and gussets.

    • The existing homologation number will be retained.

    • An Extension Application can not be used where any tube members are introduced that form

    part of the principle structure. In this case a new application will be required. (As an example;

    the addition of two lateral rollbars and a connecting member to a Safety Rollbar will require a

    new application. A new homologation number will be issued).

    • Any permanent modification to a homologated structure will invalidate the original certification

    hence an extension certificate must be issued to re-validate the homologation / approval before

    the vehicle can be used in competition.

    Mike, we've cleared this up with MSNZ and it will still be legal to extend a pre-homologated 1/2 cage. There were big arguments about it, and they've gone about changing the rules the wrong way.

    It doesn't come under an extension but it will be accepted under the previous homologation number.

  4. AW11 rally car with a blacktop Altezza engine in it.

    Standard pistons and rods, block skimmed at the top to raise C/R slightly, reground cams and VVTI disabled.

    Made 190something HP ATW through a turbo SW20 box and blocky looking gravel tires hahaha

    That sounds mint! Any idea how I can get contact details? Fresh motor with cams is next on the list.

    looking mean! what alignment specs you running?

    pinion angle changes grip quite abit aye...

    I'm running 6' Castor, 4.5' camber on the LF and 3.5' camber on RF with around 2mm of toe out in the front. Will experiment with different camber and toe settings on the next dry day.
