Corndog

yeh, has wheels, glass and a few other bits and pieces on it still.

Black one is a 4 door, not much left of that car now. I have one spare door(think passenger but cant be sure now) but its in storage and wont be able to get to it for a while...

will be going to pick a part when im in the area next...

cool, had another thought, nippon denso from a toyota, pretty small and mount about the same? plus the earlier ones run a v belt

My alternator just died, was thinking about upgrading anyway. was thinking of using a falcon or commodore 55a alternator. Dont know what kind of pulley belt they use. hav any1 upgraded alternators on the pinto? if so what did you use....

anyone recommend a certifier in palmy?

should try this site, i would do it myself but dont know the weight http://www.dragtimes.com/horsepower-et- ... ulator.php just interesting to see...

no worries, you must agree then

If you think sidewall "stretch" looks better than bulge, you are just a typical boy racer driving around being a dick

Im not saying your car looks shit, im just saying your choice of tyres/wheel is shit. and since there isnt enough room for larger tyres, why not get a slightly smaller rims because this combo obviously was never going to work...

Thats why i took them off and got some smaller tyres, but the rubbing isnt the gay thing, the gay thing is the tyre width to wheel width. Whats the point of putting such a small tyre on such a wide wheel? If its for looks, it looks stupid...

HAHAHA, thats wat ya get for having dum tyres and dum wheels

Cheers fullas, i went into Roskilda autos today on my way past, he reckons 200-600 buks depending on how much stuff i have wrong like jets and venturies... Has heaps of pictures of escorts on his shop wall from when he rallied them so i would say he knows what he's up to... Will give keith stewart a ring sometime this week too and see what he reckons...

Im looking at putting my escort on the dyno sometime in the future, its running twin 45 dellortos and was wondering if anyone knows a place that specialize in carby tuning. The only place i know of in palmy is speedworks but i don't know what they are like.... Palmy would be easiest but can go elsewhere if i have to...

Done quite a bit of work on the escort over the xmas holiday, taken it for a wof(just to see wat it needs before a cert) failed on no cert, brake imbalance, draging drum and inner rack end. nothing bad so im pretty stoked. will fix all that over the next couple weeks, get the carbs tuned(for emissions) then go for a cert finally. Here are some pics... Last of the rust(other than passenger door) delt with. 235 eagers dont really fit without rubbing away to nothing being that low, look cool tho Engine bay got striped back, primed then painted. all the loom was redone for the 2L etc... Shifter hole moved and gearbox mounts welded on(see how they go for a cert) Engine in and running with a new exhaust to quieten it down. sounds good... all interior in, vinyl died all the seats and door cards, turned out mint Didnt turn out too bad, just needs a panel and a paint to finish it off(and the c pillar trim if any1 has some?) Sweet to finally drive it even if its not legal(yet) The black escort is now siting behind the shed with no engine or anything else for that matter, if any1 wants an escort thats got a "couple" of rust problems, a welded diff, front suspension and not much else, hit me up(going cheap)
