Snoozin Posted February 17, 2006 Share Posted February 17, 2006 After looking at it, I reckon widen those steels, keep em black and run whitewalls, it would look class. Oh keep that dark green too, looks excellent! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L0WMK2 Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 if you put a brake booster on it needs to be certified i think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dylan Posted February 18, 2006 Share Posted February 18, 2006 sure does Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 Fuck thats a deal for 300 odd $. Quickrack yumm. They have shit lock for a rwd car. Also I think an escort box might be a bit weak. Aparently the boxes behind the 1600/1500s in the cortinas was a bit gruntier as the car was heavier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
peteretep Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 im pretty sure only mk2 gt's and gte's had different gearboxes, same gearbox as crossflow mk3 cortina's otherwise the same unless column Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
- i5oogt - Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 not all mk3 crossflow boxes are close ratio, it was more near the end of production ford had all these 1300 crossflow motors and close ratio boxes left over...... with mk2s it depends if its a series one of series two car (66-68 ser1 and 69-70 ser2) the series1 has a singe rail box and the series2 has a 3rail box same as the close ratio found in late mk3s..... best thing to do is check the model numbers against a parts book to see if its close ratio or not... that burnt out mk2 looks like it has some good parts left on it...... if you need anything parts wise i have a fleet of mk2s...... may have things you need.....

Gaz Posted February 19, 2006 Share Posted February 19, 2006 I was meaning the cortina box in general was better than the escort box. Somewhere above it was said he was gonna chuck an escort box in i think. Supose you might as well find a close ratio one tho. When I change to floor shift im going to be going with the sierra 5 speed. The diff ratios in those cars are so shit. Need the five speed to sort it out. Plus i got extra 5 speed boxes from the esky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
