corrupt Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 yes, its one of them Ford Cortina Mk5 sport 1983 #2000cc ohc# 5 Speed Sierra gearbox conversion# Classic white paint job# Cheviot Trident mags with 205/60/13 tyres(new 16s)# Lowered on king springs# 35% tinted windows# Ramflo air filter# 4-2-1 extractors# Straight through exhaust# 4.5 inch stainless steel tip# Momo steering wheel# Ooogah horn# Cd player# Solex locks# Alarm/Immobiliser# Sport trim removed. Mean car, brother gave it to me stock, then i done it up, paint, mags, lowering, exhuast etc. Heres what it was like when I got it: A bit later, with tridents, and lowered, and body work pretty much done: Once painted: I got some 16s off a mondeo: 20mins of driving, and one of them falls off on the MOTORWAY?? WTF dw i was uninjured, but the tyre shop who put the mags on for me was court ruled to pay me $1000 and give me set of tyres. what its like now, Pigs love it in the condish its in now, been pulled over like 10 times, but they cant do shit, all wof/rego and legal. NEW CORTINA TO COME SOON........ pretty much gonna be a replica, same colour, same mags, same engine. but also, recaros, better paint, custom front grille/front lip, darker tints, detailed engine bay, new 2.25" piping and droopy exhuast, maybe even some side draughts pics of the new tina soon...

corrupt Posted June 6, 2007 Author Share Posted June 6, 2007 ok so i gave her a quick respray, its pretty average, would definately not call it mint, especially the boot with its nasty sanding marks. either way, its better than what the paint was before hand, 1, because its got clear on it this time, 2, because old paint had few primer patches, different coloured bonnet (aussie one) and a few dents and scrapes needed fixing. was ok for a quick job over the long weekend borrowing someones garage, all up it cost me 200 for all the primer, paint, clear, sanding paper etc so i think it was well worth it. should come up a bit better with a cut/polish Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt Posted July 1, 2007 Author Share Posted July 1, 2007 So thought that i would update this a little bit, as she stands now: ! standard 2L engine ! 2" exhaust with a good flowing muffler and matty b dump ! electric radiator fan ! 13x6 tridents with 205/60s ! superlow kings at front with adjustable shocks, and slightly shortend kings in rear ! aussie mk4 bonnet ! recaros/momo wheel/gear knob ! usual sound setup ! tints ! "classic white" paint Fuck this project threads messy, will tidy it up at some point and fix all the broken images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt Posted July 16, 2007 Author Share Posted July 16, 2007 So the thrust bearing finally gave out after 6months of me meaning to replace it. done the bogan clutchless shifts for about 10kms home. What was left car on axle stands while dropping box down brothers old car which i have inherited, need to replace engine though and drop it down low again. daily stz/escort i have is too shit. bought and engine for it, amg 4g63 ~170hp. should go good. Painted the daily and got some new rims: The amg 4g63 never happend, ended up getting an engine which developed a big end knock pretty much instantly so had to rebuild that with a replacement crank/conrod and bearings/rings etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt Posted July 23, 2007 Author Share Posted July 23, 2007 Lowered it a bit in the front, im quite happy with the result, it has the mean nose down stance which my old cortina had(but lower). Also chucked the 1 piece driveshaft in, might change it back to the 2 piece as it does bang on the floor sometimes, but ill see how it goes. the crossmember is 75-80mm from the ground, which will always be in the back of my mind, for if i ever get pulled up. it doesnt look outrageously low though and the rear is still 2cm tyre to guard so i dont reckon ill get any beef.

corrupt Posted February 11, 2009 Author Share Posted February 11, 2009 Been a long time Have been gathering a few parts slowly- EFI manifold megasquirt (MS1 v2.2) holley blue fuel pump vl fuel pump surge tank vr4 intercooler Plan is to get the car running n/a efi first then add the supercharger into the mix. First thing is i need to run new fuel lines down the car which i will be doing once ive decided on the exact fueling setup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

corrupt Posted March 17, 2009 Author Share Posted March 17, 2009 Took for a wof today, after not having one for over a year. Failed on some bullshit, brake lights apparently werent working which they were. Also lug nuts arent screwed onto enough thread apparently, so i just chucked the trident noodles on. Recheck tomorrow, then i can start piecing together all my bits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt Posted July 5, 2010 Author Share Posted July 5, 2010 Its been a while but its now running with EFI manifold and megasquirt This is all after numerous teething problems such as the ecu going up in smoke after frying the injector driver due to the low impedence vr4 injectors, have remedied that issue now with a injector resistor pack off a honda. Its just NA for now to keep thing simple as im moving house soon and want to be able to drive it there. Pics will follow when I have a bit of time to move it out of the garage into some proper light. Also need to take it for a road tune, pretty interested to see how well the wideband works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt Posted November 17, 2011 Author Share Posted November 17, 2011 worthless update, but im gonna pull this out of the garage this weekend. I had a bit of rust fixed last xmas and now pretty much just needs a proper fuel map on the megasquirt... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corrupt Posted October 17, 2012 Author Share Posted October 17, 2012 Here is my annual update: Decided that before I moved out my last flat that I would give her the once over while I still had a double garage to work in. Fixed the majority of the rust and sealed the usual areas with a coat of por15. Dug out a shit load of suspect looking bog jobs/fixed surface rust beneath and redone. Pulled off the rest of my fibreglassed on front lip (got munted putting car into a trailer once, putting mk5 sport one on instead) Gave her a fresh lick of paint. Turned to shit so sanded/flattened said fresh lick of paint off with 400 to make it look marginally better. Moral of the story - Dont use paint which has been sitting on the shelf for 5 years as it WILL ruin all your hard prep work. Pieced together a shiney intake pipe with old bits of piping Finally got my act together to try get her tuned right with the megasquirt -Replaced original fuel reg with a aftermarket adjustable one with guage -Set fuel pressure lower than it probably was with old fuel reg (running vr4 450cc injectors which are a tad too large while im still NA so set fuel pressure @ 32psi so I could get a decent injector PW) -Changed injector timing to 4 pulses/alternating rather than what was working best before 2 pulses/simulatenous (think i still might try 2 pulses/alternating and raising fuel pressure) -Purchased TunerStudio to make use of their useful built in calculators as a good starting point (VE table and target afr) -After much screwing around and recalibration of the wideband o2 sensor, took her for a drive while running VE analyse live and it seemed to do an awesome job and resulted in a pretty decent afr throughout the range. Things to do: Hook electric fan up to MS Rewire loom through different hole in firewall (doh should have planned this one better) Tidy up interior (my door cards are looking very neglected and the cat ripped up what was left of my carpet) Get wof and put lower springs back in the front Repaint or perhaps vinyl wrap Drive it over summer like a boss Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
