Torn between this

or this

I wouldn't mind one of these. wouldn't be keen on that colour though. Prefer the popup eyelid model and colour choice would be two tone white top and gunmetal bottom.

Should be able to just swap the plastic metal bit for the plastic one. Don't think you will need to swap the whole cluster. Pretty sure cluster is a straight swap anyway.

I'm thinking telstar or 626 rims

Havn't done much in ages except recently moved to danevirke due to work. Thats sorta suck but now i have a decent garage so now the lancer and the starion finally get to keep each other company. Hopefully having both of them in the garage will motivate me to get something done.

Sounds like a good plan to me.

Water bottle most likely for headlight washers.

Love the starion. must go nice been for cains in my brothers dohc starion and that things insane with just minor work.

yeah got one also. seemed shady so left it

this is gona be pretty mean when its done. bit of work in it no doubt.

Just mount big single turbo through the bonnet.

Been super lazy recently and havn't done anything for about 4 months.

Have got manifold on now and link 95% wired up.

Brought a radiator this week which only squeezes in by about 2mm. Going to have to redo pipe into throttle body so can connect top radiator hose.

Aim to have car running and road legal in two weeks so need to get off my lazy arse and do some work.

I want this going so i can finally get to work on my starion.

Fuck even my gilrfriend can weld better than that and she has touched a welder only once in her life.

Cant believe how bad the work on the car is. If nothing had been done it would have turned out better.

I had no problems when i had to re vin my gtx. was 1990 which helped so didn't need the full strip down but they seemed pretty leniant on things. Just had to get the police to sign the bit of paper and the only work i needed to do was replace a missing bracket on the rear swaybar. They didn't even notice the car was about 30mm to low in the front, even though the front bottomed out on their rollers when they tried to drive accross them. The car wasn't exactly tidy either.

I g teched my escort panel van a while back. Did a 19.10 with the 1600 in it. ran a 21.4 with the 1300.

0-60mph with 1300 was 19sec. was about 13sec with 1600. hahaha man that thing is an animal

i just drilled a hole in my clutch pedal and a hole in the firewall and chucked the starion clutch master cylinder in my ex. Worked fine for me but maybe a little rangi.

Picked up the link today. Just waiting for the manifold to come back now.

So its time for out with the old.

And in with the new

Went into speedworks today to see how much a link g3 would be. they don't sell them anymore so ended up buying a g4 link. should get that in a week or two. hoping to get manifold back this week and can get it all ready for the link. stole my brothers vr4 injectors so will use them for now.

does that mean the intake manifold would fit my escort??

I would prob have a type R civic or integra as a daily. cheap to run and pretty reliable. and because none of my cars are ever going so could take it to the track and still have some fun.

If not then i would have a mean diesel 4x4 so could do mean offroad missions when i get borred.

still havn't done much recently. was gona use a l300 manifold for a multipoint conversion but couldn't find one and glad i didn't as did a bit more research and found i could use a manifold from an 8 valve galant. so went to the wreckers and they had atleast 4 of the moddel i was after sitting around. so got the manifold for $40 which i thought was pretty cheap.

Manifold is away atm to be cut and shut to face the right direction.

Haha thats awsome. don't know who has that much spare time but still cool. Detail is soo cool.

School days were aws. mates had a mk1 andmk2 escorts. one had a series one seven and i had a bogged up datto 1200. thats about all worth mentioning from what i can remember. O and one had a 944 porsche. but they hardly a porsche.

i have a pair of starion low king springs in the shed somewhere. I'll have a look tomorrow and post them up

this car is looking so mint. when i look at mine now it looks soo rangi. I'll fix it up one day

how do you text to find if money owing. Just out of interest

Finall got around to doing some work on th ex today. Have had enough of not having it going so time to change that.

Started by pulling head off and replacing it with the head off my starion for now.

Under rocker cover is soo clean compared to head i took off it. Guess thats what you get when only done 50000ks since new.

like the red rocker cover . Looks way better than the black one in my opinion.

Now need to find an intake manifold. And need to buy a link.
