Gizzy_esky's Mk2

Yeah apparantly the stickers only go out to people who the mods know aren't munters.

Anyway, nice car. I was surprised to see it was ITB injected. Very nice, although after reading the thread on the intake runner length I would suggest getting some trumpets or something on there because those throttles are mega tiny!

thanks for the feedback guys.... i think it looks better with the square headlights as it suits the sqaure spoiler and racing stripes, however it's personal opinion i guess, about the trumpets for the throttle bodies, how do you fit filters to them then? im not fussed about the length of the intake runners at this stage as i intend to turbo it in the near future...i better get my post count up if i want stickers then :) thanks guys

my first escort was a one owner mk2 4-door and i had the twin cam and 5-speed in that, however, i then stumbled accross this 2-door locally (in a very rough state) and sold the motor/box from the other one to go towards this one.....i sold it for a measly $400 in the end i think..was a real steal, and it has been for sale on TM recently again and went for alot more lol.

I still have the 4-door and it's mint as, not a dent or any rust what so ever, so i think it will just stay in the shed untill i get around to doing that one up aswell, some day haha.

I think Newman has a elec ignition dizzy in a Sierra, and what type of coil are you after?

I haven't heard of any 2nd hand ones around, im looking for some myself, but can/should be able to get a good deal on new performance superlites up to 13X8 (they don't go as wide as i want :evil: )

im going to the wreckers behind the scrap yard in an hour or so to rob the elec dizzy, and coil if its got one, otherwise i'll just get a supercheap bosch gt40 i guess...

whats a good deal on the superlights?

esky has such a lumpy idle it sounds sick as :twisted:

that was the elec. dizzy that requires the ecu, and it was at the scrap metal place not hemis in the end...., so ive bought a PertronixIgnitor electronic ignition kit for $200 off the net...im getting a balance tube made up for the manifold vaccum so i can run a vaccum block to plug the brake booster into as atm i dont have anywhere to..and so the MAP runs off all 4 not only one cylinder....will get back to you re. parts when i get a chance to look in the shed.

hey man, ive got a same looking skirt supposedly made for a mk1 but its not an exact fit, maybe it was made for GT/mex guards or something.

how did you fit yours on? is it bogged/moulded in or what?

hey there, ummm...first i mucked around with where it would go as it wasnt a perfect fit either, then glue inbetween, riveted it every 8mm or so then small amount of bog on lip and over rivets so it looks tidy...
