Did anyone see the letter/email in the last fast 4s mag asking for prizes etc for this "comp"

I dont know about the aussie capris but all the English V6 capri's used a atlas type rear end and so did quite a few of the 2Ls and all mk3/4/5 cortinas

With 10" Wide Mini-tubs... yup. So your going to have trouble keeping the front tyres on the ground then!

Normally you should be able to take the lock out of your drivers door, take it to a locksmith and they can cut a key from a code stamped on/cast into it. Had to do it with my escort and a few cars at my old work, doesn't cost much more than just getting a key cut.

Bike carbs FTW! Used on crossflows a bit in the uk etc

Gisborne car isnt it? If not it had a twin here

Dont you have to slightly slot a hole for the auto shaft to fit? Not if you use the flange from a mk1 diff head as well, or get a new uni joint and have a mk2 end put on the mk1 shaft. Or are you meaning the middle mount on a 2 piece shaft?

The floor pans are the same with both mk1/2 auto/Manuel escorts, its just the autos tunnels are bigger for the 1st section, the mounts are the same aswell its just the x member and driveshaft that differ

80 = way different, 200 is a possibility

I always blocked mine, or you could plumb it into a t fitting into the main fuel line before the pump

Think iv got a pair of rear struts still, and have a pair of heavy front springs from a 100 turbo, will have a good look again tomorrow

Yeap, just standered struts

I havnt done it personly, but from what iv read/seen/been told the best way is with the mirage parts as in that link

Possibly me, il suss out a set next time im at bnt

never heard of them..any good? Yeah man, have a few of them in my subaru aswell, there mint, nice ride etc. My escort camber tops are from them aswell. I think bnt is the main NZ distributer for them.

I prefer noltech from bnt, i paid around $80 trade for the 1s in my esky

Or you could get your dizzy regraphed(?) so you dont have vac advance at all

Free up the intake/exhaust, you can get the injectors drilled out a lil bit then after that you will need good $ to get good power. Also if you can get hold of them the 100 turbo (non quatro) brakes and 5 stud hubs bolt straght on (need to fit 4 stud wheel bearings in the front) they are a lot bigger and work well with the factory master cyl. I have done the conversion myself previosly.

Yeah im pretty sure you can get away with certain 13s with the bmw rotors, but id run 14" + with them

Thats a real good idea if your on a budget. Also paying for the head to be crack tested is worth it. Concur! had mine tested before the ports were tidy'd up

Could also use a morrie/austin/worsly etc 1300 engine, or iv seen a austin alglero 1800 fitted in a mini. Also the mg metro front brakes are a good upgrade for minis (if you can find them)

Yeah the paint we used on the back doors of my van went on all yellowy,a week or 2 later it went to the green it was ment to be

U drive = Hastings

Or if youve got a spare $500-700 get one of palmsides pedal boxs, can even get them with hydro clutch. We got 1 for a mates CA18 esky van, real good quality with AP masters
