Is it basically a rusted shell now? (The black one)

Going round te puke way? Need a diff picked up.

Hey mate how have you run the 5 stud up front? Adapters or redrilled hubs?

My mk2 escort ghia has an electric boot release factory from ford

Hows the braking? Vented rotor? Width? Might go with nissan junk

Very thin indeed hmm and abit big diameter wise as i dont need anything over kill as its going on my escort and ill have 16inch rims max

So i can get some ln61 surf 4pots for cheap and just need to know if they will accept a 260mm to 280mm rotor and if they run a vented or solid rotor. also can someone recommend rear calipers that use an internal drum brake. Oh and piston sizes so master cylinder can be sorted accordingly. Pure

Sierra t9 if you want highway cruising and more flexibility, fair amount of work though. Look at gaz's tech article on it. 4speed if you want classic/os feel. May want to look a changing your diff aswel. I'm guessing you got a 4.1 or 3.9?

Howd you bust a type E? Thats like the equivelant of a rally gearbox!

Monthly meet is at Vinegar Hill tomorrow they are meeting with the wagnats folk there

In palmy aswell mate. eke_zetec_RWD-Would i have more problems with a t9 instead of the type E? not in terms of fitting but reliability behind my pinto?

Rs2000 box is the same as a cortina box mate or a type E gearbox i have a complete type E inc clutch and speedo cable i might sell where abouts are you? Oh ratios btw 1st 2.25 or 2.50 2nd 1.495or1.60 3rd 1.168 or 1.22 4th 1.1 Ideally you want an auto tunnel for peace of mind room wise but should fit without modification of shifter hole and tunnel i have an auto tunnel i just cut from an escort ghia if you need it aswel

Um dude good on you for searching and such but this thread is from 2004 mate. Sorry to be useless but im unsure on the answer to your question, should be able to use standard clutch but search in the tech articles mate. Welcome to OS Pure

Bam Gaz is in! Oh Gaz how much would you think for the block pistons and crank?

Yep Pinto mate dont know too much on the engine castings side of things. From some of Gaz's posts it looks like planing the head isnt worth it as you dont get much increase compression wise. Pistons are probably your best bet for upping compression. Otherwise your list sounds bang on man hopefully Gaz will intervene and give you the ins and outs of a pinto Also what cam are you thinking of? A kelford grind? or a kent cams kit?

At Wharerata function centre and cafe in Massey, im a kitchen hand. sigh. And at tremain energy centre on Saturday mornings helping out in the workshop.

So want to roll one of these as a daily now

Sickie may have to be pulled, but then its the parents i have to deal with.....

So this is definately on a thursday? Got work that night :/

Rip that shit

No worries man. If the wof man fails you on rust in the bum end again this time I'll fix it for free. ps. Your dads rum rules hahah! Sweet man! Ahh the joys of having a father who brews his own alcohol! So it should be after 20years of brewing!

Big thanks to Simon for fixing up my rusty boot wells

Very nice Rx2 man. Just wondering why put all this money making it so shiny and show looking condition to just drive it hard and not take it to shows?

Looking good man
