  1. You'd be pleased with that wouldn't you? It looks like the back of a monster truck at full droop! It would be good to come see it in person one weekend.
  2. Sweet car well done. White, silver or grey please. Yeah the motor made me think of lego, nothing a can of black paint can't fix though.
  3. If you clean the edges up with a file etc it will work ok. I think that SR20 have a 3 belt pulley, it looks like the front two belt locations have been turned off this one? If that's the case it's cheap to make another one.
  4. I used to have ab EB XR8 I wish I still had it. The diff from other models will fit it, I'm not sure about EF/EL they had different brakes but you might be able to swap back to the earlier ones. Also Motoform Circs!

    FE3 vs Zetec?

    FE3 were pretty good engines, the single cam ones were prone to cracking heads. I've seen one twin cam crack the oil gallery above the exhaust. Zetecs seem pretty good too, the problem would be all the parts you need to fit one into an Escort. Water rails, sump etc. How about a BP out of a 1.8 MX5? There is also a later FS 626 engine that was pretty good too, I'm not sure what gearbox would work with it though
  6. No hoist at home sadly Bart. Just a jack and stands. May be not being a hairy arse school kid anymore is the secret?
  7. Meh. It's not that hard. They are usualy oily enough underneath to not have rusted solid. I can press them for you, drop the parts into work when you get them off.
  8. Oh yeah, cool. Coilovers should make a big difference to it. It's not really I haven't touched it for months. I brought a boss kit for it the other day so it's not totaly forgotten.
  9. Send your arms to HBI engineering and get them to make a new Starlet ball but with an imperial taper to suit your Mk2 struts.
  10. This is looking awesome! You coming along this weekend?
  11. Did Stu say he was my boss? Lying cunt.
  12. I work at the airport/live by Rangiora if you want to drop them off at some stage. Is it the axles for the 121?
  13. I'll press them for you. We have a sweet press at work.
  14. Looks good in person too. I drove past today. It looks like you have a lot of negative camber up front? Don't want to wear out the edges of those flash tyres!
  15. Stink. I'd pull it to bits again.
  16. No flanges on the exhaust? Cut the tunnel? Seems like alot of spending for something minor. What happens when you need to do the clutch?
  17. Oh I see. Let the rear mount go and take the tail shaft housing off in place. I have an orignal Falcon workshop manual here you are welcome to borrow if you want it.
  18. 5. Buy another gear from Ford and hit the street! The gears don't cost much, there are a lot of different gears so you can get the speedometer to read properly
  19. What thread is it you need? There are a quite a few helicoil sets at work. Run your lights as is, don't use a resistor.
  20. have you not met the true me? bloody south africans are a bunch of shady mother fuckers Yeah but you're so cute, so it works out even. Talking shit @ the Redwood would suit me fine too.
  21. EA1 used a Borg Warner 40 they are fully hydraulic. Alter the gate on your shifter so you can't hit it into neutral when you're racing?
  22. Does that jacket fit? It's pretty loud eh. Good wotk with the seat too.
  23. Haha, yeah I am in two minds when I look at it too. I'm not really prepared to change either at the moment though.
