  1. This looks very interesting cant wait for the results
  2. I'm sure I have some smaller chokes around for those carbs
  3. I'm sure you will be faster than mine I haven't even posted my new project as its all body work and after one year its still sits there AHHH So far our container seams very dry but time will tell
  4. Much interest in this container chat as I just bought one as well which has vents in each end and sits in the sun all day but I'm to worried to put car pats init might try the couple of buckets of calcium chloride as well to see what the condensation levels are . Brand new was to rich for me as well . How long is the plan on the body work ?
  5. Its a small BMW only 1500kg 135i but need either 18s or 19s . A mate recons it will eat what ever Tyre I put on it . It hangs on ok but nothing where you would put all your faith in
  6. Need some good tyres for the BMW but so many choices . It turned its Potenza in to a sticky mess on normal roads with a bit of healthy driving . I will look them up
  7. so what brand tyres did you go with?
  8. Looks like so much fun passing those other cars. must get something ready for the track going again
  9. Nice hose clamps I have a load in my shed I used them and found that they didn't grip as well as I thought and changed back to the cheap ones . maybe keep an eye on them . Cant wait to see some paint on it
  10. It all cost there is no cheap way to get more power . Just set a budget and stick to it
  11. Looking good Gumboot looming is it going to be ready ?
  12. Very jealous wish i could get that much shed time . looks very nice
  13. Read the build thread on my old sport I bought 7.5s off them but only 2 of . They work on the front with rolled guards but the rear is a big problem I was 2inch lowered on reset leafs and I stretched the inner guard as much as I could but they still rubbed with 185/60/13 rubber . I the end I took them back to change the boss suggested that I shorten my diff or buy a full set of brand new tyres 175/50/13 which is far to stretched on 7.5 I went on to tell him he was false advertising that they don't fit a MK2 escort he took them back and swapped me for 7 inch instead. only go 1.5 inch lowered if you want to drive your car hard . 185/60/13 on a 7 inch rim will give you another inch lower on top of the 1.5 but still leave a bit of room for movement in the springs to have some fun when you drive
  14. don't lower the 7.5 rs wheels don't fit on the rear of a MK2 . But look good keen to watch and see you build thread . What are the plans
  15. Got a video of the hill climb ? What happened on the last run?
  16. I just unbolted mine and dropped it down and drilled new holes . No one every asked and got Mesh covers for the trumpets from Burtons . Prob of no use to you though
  17. Long time no updates but a lot has happened and loads of work and goodies added photos to follow But its still not going yet has been running
  18. I knew it was to do with the ratio's trying to ID is a night mare you just never know till you check the ratio
