Just buy what you personally prefer then try them out. Usually any 4x108 rim, 13-15x7 with an offset close to zero will be fine. We can only say so much till you actually purchase a good set of wheels and try them out.

They are just standard arches by the looks of them dude

Nice. See you round Waiouru sometime, Im at the officer cadet school till the end of the year. What are you coming in as?

Mean. So your on Basic 370?

BDA inspired cam cover done.

Wow so back for the weekend, thought id get into it! So finished the bellhousing conversion from the courier box to the Mx5 box! Now to sort the clutch combo. Im thinking an FE SOHC clutch or an F2T clutch? Opinions? And one of the things im really loving at the moment! My modified KIA sportage cam cover to look like a BDA/BDG cam cover, will wrinkle it up tomorrow. Very happy with it! Big thanks to KK for the nats shirt, looks the biz! Discuss it up!

Alright ill give her a go Cheers guys

As in smash it off? Ive tried hammering the shit outta it to no avail

So its time to bolt up the transmission to the fe3 and i cant get the damn torque converter off! I bought it without the fwd trans so cannot slide it off Ive tried prying it off to no avail Yes the bolts holding it to the flex plate have been removed. Any help on how to get it off would be great!

And i can talk FE3 with someone whos actually got one running!

Looks sweet, will be watching with interest!

Yep im back next fri so could do a meet?

Same as mitch, abit short notice and next sat would be better but keen as!

Back this fri sat and sun..... and next fri sat and sun...HINT HINT

What exactly are you wanting to do with either the compression strut or anti dive kit? The anti dive kit only stops nose diving under heavy braking? I would just get good shocks and a 24mm kmac or whiteline bar with the adjustable tca's,thats pretty much going to be my set up.

Sweet as Spencer. Im still a we bit off making the manifold and getting the ITB's even on the engine but im just gathering all the info i need before fucking something up

Funny i did a search? Must not have looked properly... feel free to delete and ill add on to the existing thread

Ive been doing some research lately on ITB's since i got my silvertop 4age ones for the fe3 and thought of making a topic on ITB's where everyone can contribute knowledge of best set ups, manifolds, tuning and the likes. Ive found these articles which have helped me to understand ITB's abit better and might help others http://www.jenvey.co.uk/jenvey/faq http://www.jenvey.co.uk/jenvey/butterflies-barrels-or-slide-throttles http://www.jenvey.co.uk/jenvey/why-not-just-use-a-big-single-throttle-body http://www.jenvey.co.uk/jenvey/throttle-body-selection-with-jenvey-dynamics And a good diagram for ITB's/EFi in general http://www.jenvey.co.uk/images/stories/jenvey/fuel%20system%20-%20collector%20pot.pdf Feel free to contribute

Remember that most of the turbosport crowd are hell bend on rallying

Get the shocks shortened and then space it with some washers possibly?

Yeah mate well 1/3 of the way through! Nemesis is done so the hard bit over! Yeah should look the biz once shes done!

So back for the week so thought id crack into it! Been playing around with the fe3 and mocked up this..... Looks soooo good! its definitely getting my motivation back up and giving me something to look forward to for when im back home. These beauties of 70's racing pedigree arrived And i managed to get some original mint bathurst globes 14x6 for a small sum! So things are looking ahead for the escort yet. Order of priority now will be the front end so a large order will be going out to the UK in due course. Fully guttered i didnt make nats but i was instead walking with a pack in the waiouru military training area so fun fun! Anyway post up your opinions and ideas! viewtopic.php?f=18&t=29051

gutted i cant attend nats! And can vouch for wabi sabi, good feed there, alas cannot attend though due to being in Waiouru...

Sheez my mark two has done nearly 700,000 according to carjam! Mean progress dude, should get a pinto....

Wow long time no update oldschool! Ive been back from initial officer training for about a week now and ive cracked on a fair bit and spent a few dollars on the escort! 1) Capri struts fully welded to coilovers by KE70_wagon aka mitch 2)FE3! Very happy with the new FE3 ive got. Its a high comression variant so 10:1 cr. Gearbox is sussed with the mx5 one ive got and a 2.0l petrol courier bellhousing. Plans for it will include itb's or dual carbs, porting and balancing. 3) In my spare time today i made a hybrid CAS from an mx5 and FE3 CAS 4)Also bought some AP 4pot calipers from an Austin princess with new stainless steel pistons and seal kits, should be here soon enough! So I head back to Waiouru for the rest of the year with about a week off every 2 months but should be worth it when I get my comission to 2nd Lieutenant and 57k. Goals for the year will just be parts hoarding and trying to crack on with the escort! Cheers guys, expect another update in 2months
