Gilmers and bellhousing back from Bop pollishers

haha yeah i mean for the drags, had heapsa fun when raced the van at summerdrags so decided i wanted something lighter with more go, hoping to do some low 13's maybe even a 12, tho am keen to have a crack around a track and maybe some hill climbs or whatever

pulled old struts out and put new ones in, heres a photo to compare the 2

Had to buy this rx3 box just to get the bellhousing, $400 later

So it turns out my rx3 bellhousing is a bottom mount starter twin dizzy item so to me it means its useless as it wont bolt up to back of my motor. Anyways picked up my gearbox from TGA and its been fitted with its steel selectors and dropped my gilmers and chrome end caps off to get polished

Gilmers were made by a friend of mine who is an engineer escort ones? nah 2 pairs of mk1 tina lights would look good

Picked up my gilmer belt drive tonight, off to tauranga tomorrow to pick up my gbox as its had steel selectors fitted, turns out my W58 is a rare high strength model with a heat treated main shaft . While im over there i will be dropping my rx3 bellhousing and gilmers off to get polished

And one of the housings! ported by RX7 heaven

ok so dont all screw your noses up about the tail lights at once , this was/is a pretty notorious hatchy so still gona keep them on as it wont be the same car without them, if you get what i mean. anyways got my camera so now have better pics, heres my new rear bumper the custom 2x series 4 7 oil coolers welded one on top of the other should keep it cool got brand new, NOS bumper 2day and also my 2nd hand endcaps turned up so will use this on the front My EFI hardware 50 mm throttle bodies, the intake manifold give away what i will be running so will post a pic up of housings

hmm, need to find my proper camera. anyways heres my new rear bumper, won some chrome end caps for a front bumper on trade me the other day so waiting on them to show up, also have a brand new(still in original mazda box) front chrome bumper, so just need to put new end caps on picked up my new adjustables today custom made surge tank, 16mm to main pump, 10mm from carter lift pump, 8mm rail return and 12mm return to tank From L to R: Fuel filter ($70) bosch 910 rated at $350hp 130 litres per hour (at 5bar) and Carter 4070 to be used as a lift pump B&M line locker installed with new lines (is not really a line locker when used in this application, but just to shut off rear brakes) New Racepro Rp2 driver seat, Racepro Arrow 101 passenger And the paint: Peugot Gris chateau aka dark gun metal grey

ah yes, that woulda been on the main highway from Rotorua to taupo

hey yeah, this will be the 4th hatch and the 6th old school 323. got lots on the go so should hopefully have alot of progress pics, gona start pulling it to pieces hopefully next weekend. Have already got paint sorted, went with a factory peugot colour called "gris chateux" its a dark gun metal grey variant. enjoy the build!

ok so i thought i should start a project thread as it keeps a good timeline of your build etc Anyways i parted with my bongo on the 21st of june and recieved a 1979 323 4 door hatchback rolling body.

yup, complete dizzy modules and all $260 delivered. sus me out if you need one. can find out tomorrow if its sweet to run them on your block

i know a guy who is selling elec dizzys for $260, none that are off s4/5 motors tho. i would have let you use the one in my van if i had of known earlier but its getting dyno tuned at dynopower tomorrow so dont really wanna mess with it once its done

haha yeah, if you ever seen the subbie he had then yep, nothing lasts with pingu

so this is where isaacs cosmo ended up, was gutted i missed out on it, good to see it went to a good home anyhow. He didnt give you the standard rims did he?

looking good, good to see that its got the earlier front and bumpers on. putting that front on isnt as straight forward as you think aye.

woohoo! all certed now, just need to go back and get the plate next week. So stoked

booked in for cert aT 3.15 in tokoroa this arvo (crossed fingers)

Cheers bro Yeah i thought it needed a bit more colour in it, thats why i swayed away from alloy finish rims. It goes back to mechanics tomorow to sort a few more things out then its all go for a cert (well....until i have some money anyway) Will be taking it to Dave Critchley in Tokoroa for the cert
