Has anyone ever had a capri and a mk2 escort crossmemeber side by side?

I want to know if the mount holes for the capri are wider.

Cheers

He is the man, I swear by his work and his experience (he won a 500cc champianship and qualified many times)

Awesome car mate.

I really love this and the RA28 celica shape and the way they drive (only ever driven standard ones).

Your workmanship is a huge credit to your ability to visualise the outcome.

Can't wait to see more from you in the future

 

I found a bunch of NOS louvres the other day, thanks to Shakotom.

None of them had fitment or application guides so I left my email address for them to contact me on once they'd identified which cars they were for.

I didn't think they'd bother getting back to me but to my surprise they did! All louvres are brand new, hre's the list:

 

317          Cordia AA, AB,AC 2 doors hatchback  83-86    92x74x114 no brake light window                                           

324           Sigma   Sedan  GR,GS,GT,GVF, 82-84              102x56x128  no wiper 

334           Sigma   sedan  GW, GY  V3000  85-91              112x68x135  no wiper

422           Skyline   sedan   86-90                                          107x60x144  no wiper

124           Corolla liftback   very old                                         96x64x109                   

338           Magna  93-96                                                          105x68x131

253           Falcon EF   sedan   94-                                          124x69x152

265           Laser  sedan   KF-KH   90-94                               142x54x113

KH321      626  hatchback  83-  UK model                            125x66x104   

 

Might be something of use in there. I believe they also have a NOS louvre for a T series Holden/Isuzu Gemini sedan. May fit a Chevette too? T car guys will know. 

 

Corolla one is probably for an EE80

 

I was asked by a young fella (who came up with some doozie memorable moments) once "Are the louvres listed with the wiper piece for the front of the car"

Once I had gained composure I explained that some cars had rear wipers lol

the worst thing is when you bid on something then a couple days later you don't need it and you have to quickly make a hotmail account and a new trademe account to out bid your self

Funny as bro, I reckon that has happened to me being the seller lol

Not sure what years it covers, but bloody good

Yup I have the machine and a selection of o rings so flushing ain't an issue.

Otherwise maybe I'll raid a bunch of crap from a wreck and try horey it in.

Do you have an aircon rig?

Perhaps earths to the case via a screw or mounting terminal?

Yeah I was thinking that, but have never seen one like it.

Any brand on it??

 

Stupid question.

Would it be possible to move the linkage to inboard and leave the master and booster where it is?

Another option may be a cable, you could use a gear change or clutch cable?

This would still use the stock master and booster in the normal position and making parts easier in the future.

It may still require a cert but I doubt anyone would notice.

 

I think you could do it with a morse typed cable as they are solid.

Personally i would look at after market race typed products as the are usually easy to retrofit

Got an old tach im wanting to install. It only has a positive and negative input. What to I tee them into to make it work?

You may need to put a pic up first to clarify, but most likely the negitive one will go to the negitive (or distributor) side of the coil. The plus will go to an ignition feed, but usually there would be an earth of some kind

Will an R160 center fit your set up?

I was sorting an H190 lsd but lost interest when I got a Mazda unit for a reasonable deal

I'll sell you a manifold and set of bike carbs for a Kent, proven good performance

How much are they worth?

I have always made them, but don't have the gear now and I am building another engi

Commonly used in gokarts and motorcycles for racing, so start with bike shops.

Try Automotive Supplies or Supercheap too

Check your valve clearances before spending any money, 4thou (old school) can make or break the compression feel by hand.

It is very common for those engines to wear to having tight tappets due to valve recession.

Bike carbs are harder to achieve performance unless your engine performs like the bike they are off.

My brother and I built a 4k with way over bored, a crazy light flywheel and a huge cam.

It would pull 12krpm but it was a handfull and crap at low revs/speeds.

I have built a kent with twin 36mm side draughts with a mild cam and minor porting.

It went well but when we fitted a single 45mm side draught, we had more go less fuel consumption and more torque.

I can't remenber the loss of hp but the torque gain was 3ft/lbs.

Still had the side draught noise but more of a different sound

Most on here will tell you......

If it is your daily, keep it reliable or it will soon be the reason you can't be where you want to be (money and time wise)

Okay, I have been sent a pic by someone with a manual one and now I am in need of a peddle box assembly or a clutch peddle and the pivot shaft to change the auto one I found in my treasure trove

Did you make him do it lol

Bike carbs will out preform side draughts in most altitude if you have them right.

Efi usually has some form of variable which will tune to suit.

If you want someting a little different and cheaper to build, go turbo or supercharged. That way you get more bang for your buck and the power isn't all near the top (which it will be with and well modded n/a engine).

Personally after building many of these kents, I would go for the later model zetec or durtec for share reliability and ease of running pump gas.

Ok before the keyboard warriors start I Know The Manual One Has One Extra Peddle On The Left

What I am looking for I guess is pics of the differences of the two eg: the manual ones have an extra brace or something that stands out (aside from the peddle)

I have shared on facebook and I am hoping these assholes have a nasty case of not waking up after a really long night of pain.

Sweet, that answered what I needed to know.

thankyou

I am looking at some steel rims for a project and want to know if I can get the center moved for a deeper dish?

Not sure if this has been asked before, but have had no luck finding it, although I do understand that widening is all good by the certified people to do such work.

Cheers, Corey

After you get it clean,I highly recomend putting in the Risolene stop leak stuff.

 I have put it in cars and watched it seal cracks in radiators 3 inches long.

 You can also run it with most antifreez/antiboil brands and types.

 I think the 4cyl stuff is around $14 so cheap insurance (also has fixed a few water pumps too)

Russell did all the ones for the trucks we changed the wheelbase on when I worked in penrose, Manuaku and East Tamiki.

Very knowledgable man

VW Shoppe does bloody good work.

I am yet to hear a complaint for their workmanship.

Also stand by their work and parts too.

Good luck with the build, they are awesome little engines
