Does anyone know if Mk2 escort headlights and buckets fit into a mk1. I am in need of headlights and buckets asap, but have only found mk2 ones, will the buckets bolt in or will I have to do some modding??

Hmm, wish I could just trim the bottom third off the standard lights, Might get another set ad have a play around...

I have just purchased a Mk1 escort wagon and I am in the process of getting it back on the road. But..... Mk1 Escort Estate tail lights are not pretty, so I was thinking of using Escort panel van tail lights. What do you guys think? Anyone keen to photo shop some in for me??

Cheers, I used a mint set of 2nd hand followers and the cam itself was mint but well used. So hopefully they have all weathered well It is now the ex-girlfriends car and if it doesn't last I'll be happy, she might sell it back to me... fingers crossed!!! I miss that eski

I have an escort shell which I want to make into a quick street car. I have a mate who had put a SR20de into his mk1, but is running carbs and a modded dizzy. I would like to drop a vct SR20 into my beast, but run the fuel injection. How tricky would it be to trick the factory ECU to get it to run in my eski? I have driven a NA s15 and is is ridiculously cheap to tun, so would like the same in my eski. Has anyone done a vct sr20 conversion in to their oldschool before?

I am just wondering what I should turn my boost down to in my jza70 supra (Auto atm ..) to get it running as economically as possible saving gas and fines I am going to get an electronic boost controller with a switch to flick between standard boost and low boost, so I have the power when want it. Is there a formula to follow, I want my boost setting to equal about a N/A with 11:1 compression ratio, so to make about 200ph down from the 280+ It is my everyday driver, and being an auto, it is hard to stop it coming into boost. So please no comments about self control.

Ok, I have asked guy to measure. I was looking at this http://www.trademe.co.nz/motors/car-par ... 614571.htm for the light brackets

Does anyone know if ZF Fairlane headlight brackets work for converting a standard Xa into a twin headlight (GT replica). I know the ZF has two headlights the same size and the Xa has two different size driving lights, but are the spacings the same. I do not have a XA GT grill yet, so I cant measure the distance between to compare. And ideas??

This vvti 2J does not need the key etc, it is an earlier vvti one that has been running in a different car before.

What did you drop the 1J into???? Did you use wiring diagrams or just nut it out??

LOL still for sale, just know someone who is keen, but 1st in first served . He just wantes to know what is involved/ if it is worth the while etc.. PM me if you are keen on the motor, trademe has taken ebough of my $$$ already in suscess fees!!!

How hard would it be to get a vvti 2jz-ge running in an old coon auto or manual? I have the motor here with full enginebay loom from a gs300 and an altezza one plus airflow meter and auto ecu etc... What is the bare basics I need to get it running??? Any info links etc would be great!!!

I have searched for info but not come up with much...so I asked on trademe "Are the Gen 2 D2s a lot better than the gen 1? wickmyster (92 ) 9:45 pm, Mon 23 May yes there really dont leak anymore they use japanese seals now, and the design of the internals are a lot different and the shock shafts are bigger. These are comparable honestly with tein coilovers now, the quality really is top." Are they worth buying new now for sub $1500?? or am i better going a decent spring/shock combo for a similar price? I want the occasional track day capability...

Ahh, all good, there are some on trademe for ot to bad price.

Do JZX90-100 front struta fit a a70 supra???

Oh an are the vvti 2js weaker? I have heard the con rods are lighter for freer reeving? I am keen to GET it one day...only looking for 300HP...with monster torque ...but that is a while away

It come with two different looms, so I am going to see whats what...it was installed in an altezza for a bit, but made way for a vvti 1uz...so I am guessing it is the GS300 and altezza looms... Have not found a wiring diagram yet...havnt really looked. Need a rear sump and a rear shift position shifter kit..it has a front sump and remote shift atm... OFFERS for those

Got a vvti 2jz-ge from a GS300 and 2nd gen w58

How hard will a 1999 Altezza vvti 2JZ-GE be to wire up into a a70 supra?

SWEET, thought there was going to be some improvement

Yeah, brings up compression, but you need to port it out to get it flowing like a 2L again.

Is putting a 2L pinto cam into 1600 OHC a good upgrade?

Yeah, I am considering 55s on the back, just they are not all that common anymore...Coopers are not being super helpful either BFGs are 315 each for either size... just checking my options. Refer to pics in my 1 of my posts for the look i want

Yeah, but 60s are a lot lower profile than 75 and less sidewall will mean less bulge. Heap of people in America are running similar size tyres on their mustangs stock rims. When I get some extra cash, I should get the 6s widened to 10s , depending if the offset of the 8s fit on the front of my coon.

I want this look for my XA coupe. http://www.usmuscle.com.au/Forum/attach ... 1241391399 http://img852.imageshack.us/i/120727761full.jpg/ http://img816.imageshack.us/i/mustang15x82956015s.jpg/ This mustang has 295/60 15s on it, but I dont want that big. 225 and 255 on the 6 and 8s will not have the bulge look, and I am going for the ride height of the XA.
