just to show how close wedged in it is and omg my new camera is soo much better at taking pic's
need to cut more off the alternator bracket , now see why i had to go to a custom radiator for outlets and size to fit under radiator support
2cm between the master and engine
N/A POWER FTW decided to go na for a change so plan now is megasquirts ms2 v3 with 6 coils or 3 in wasted spark and some nasty cams and of course itbs as a sc12 wont fit
also mail man arrived with my 2 sets of 4age silver top itbs and fan controller and has temp display too wish is great as cluster one is off by heaps

where did you get the zg flares from been wanting some for awhile?
-
nice work man the bg radiators are sooo much better and are a cheap upgrade , you must be getting close to being drivable?

true a lot least work fitting the b6 ,should be great in a anglia too

Yes the paint is staying as it is, I wanted to widen the orignal wheels but they wont clear the disc struts or rear calipers. I am thinking some widened steels with chrome caps off a Cortina, maybe some deep hotwires? probably some steel rims though
Yeah I like the stripe too, its all faded and old.
No I am pretty set on an MX5 1.6 and box with a DIY turbo I got given off a WL Bounty.
I had a Pinto escort years ago, side draughts, hot cam W50 etc. It was good but they are a big heavy motor and prices have gone up something wicked lately.
Yeah Al you're onto it. The wheels need to be wide though I reckon. The diff will be shorter than standard so hopefuly I can fit some 7" rims on the back.
you though of getting a fe3? way stronger rods and 2 litre
also if you do go 1.6 Ive got some b6t rods that would be better for booost

testing tacho
yea was thinking about the KJ-ZEM charger but bonnet would need cutting and dont think it could fit between the intake ports as the kj engines are 90° where the kl are 60° apart between the banks

cheers for the comments guys
shizzl its just the tyres 225/55, will be getting some 205/45 so i can turn my wheel with out hitting the guard and so the tyres tuck in a bit better
also anyone know of a supercharger that is a little bit smaller in width to a sc12?
the plan is to supercharge it if possible but room is a little tight ,i worked out a sc12 would just fit and have a gap of about 6cm between it and the radiator so no room for the pipe to fit on

Why have i not seen/heard this thing raping up the saddle?
haha only had it going for 2 weeks with the bpt engine in there ,had the problem of no traction well boosting with crap tyres
you would of defiantly heard it if you where up there or around Ashhurst

my mate had one of these with a bpt or something in it making some stupid power with all the gizmos on it was a wicked car nice work with the engine conversion
ive seen a pic of that one, it WAS mint
is your mate Flannels? ive only ever seen 3 études around and thats one of them

Mother of god those are some hefty balloons you have mounted on your dubs.
For your safety, you should consider a hefty dose of slam.
Interesting project however, is that a 2L currently in there? They sound pretty choice with the exhaust opened up and generous use of the accelerometer.
yip sure is a 2l one at the moment will put the 2.5 in later on ,just got the motor for cheap and came with gearbox and the guy didn't know it was lsd haha
and ohhh yes it needs slamming big time that was the thing when i went 5 stud it raised it heaps also got the tyres for $1 haha so cant complain ,but will be getting rid of them soon as clearances are a bit too close
should really get a new video of it tho, those videos are low revs as below 4

thought i would create a thread on here as theres a few bf fans
any way its a Mazda Étude 1987 which is the very similar to a bfmp and are getting quite hard to find as there the couple version and have a 1.6 dohc from factory
after alot of cleaning and put a face lift model 323 bumper on
have different clusters to the standard bf one and lights up red not horrible orange
then i put a bpt which is a 1.8 turbo from a gtx into it
the 1.6 was too slow
alot more cleaning
then long story after getting it going i drove it for about 2 weeks on 14psi then the headgasket went
soooo wanted to fit some thing different that no one has really tried to fit in a bf
....
..
.
test fit
its a kfze out of a mazda lantis type r only done 65,000km too , has lsd gearbox and got the 5 stud brakes off it to try and fit on too
will upgrade to a klze later on which is the 2.5 v6
then after ALOT of playing around i manged to mod the engine mounts to bolt up to the v6
surprising the bonnet closes fits good but a bit close in some spots like a cm
bit better brakes this time around, 5 stud too wow . but sucks as 4x114 wheels look better
also fitted the lantis brake booster and master and converted the clutch from cable to hydraulic and made up a pulley to remove the power steering pump as i couldn't fit it as it hit the body
finally got my bbs wheels 16x7 40 offset and weight of a wheel is 6.2kgs
and look ****ing good
also got my custom radiator made up to fit under the radiator support bar as theres noo room
3 core 50mm thick and brass and copper
two 12 inch fans on the front
also manged to fit the lantis rpm gauge into the bf cluster, as 6 cyl engine with a 4 cyl tacho reads offf by heaps looked cool tho revving to 12,000rpm
also tyres are 225s hahaha
and 5 stud back which is a hugeeee mission
