Gaz Posted April 7, 2008 Author Share Posted April 7, 2008 Kinda got bored at uni today and even tho I had told myself it was a good week to study and catchup I still ended up in garage. Yeah well made intercooler fit.. Not mounted but it fits behind grill now.. Cut lots out, prob have to put some reinforcing back in at later date. Also wanting to know if its bad to get 90° outlets tiged to my cooler.. More right angle bends than curved mandrals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gaz Posted May 18, 2008 Author Share Posted May 18, 2008 Got up early (well, early for me) and finished the engine mounts and dropped the engine in this morning. Is way way better moved back 3+ inches, so much more room infront and not quite as much room behind. Also moved escort onto far side of garage and moved new cortina in to start working on Pics.

Gaz Posted April 9, 2009 Author Share Posted April 9, 2009 Brought some more wheels for escort. Finially getting a bit more to the size I want. I have a feeling 16" tyres are going to be a cunt to buy but will sort that when I get there. Impul Pro Mesh in 4x114.3 16x7.5. A bit curbed but doesnt matter as they will be getting new outer shells to fill the escort gaurds. Should be able to push the rears out to a 9.5 depending on offset. Car is still sitting on Chris's back lawn awaiting a garage to be built in. Will eventually get there but at the mo a house is more important. Wont sell but also wont be doing much on it till I get a house. Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted August 11, 2009 Author Share Posted August 11, 2009 Not an update really. Hopefully update will be here very shortly. As soon as I have finished painting the Chevette I will be grabing the escort back from Chris and finally getting back into it. At the moment I am halfway through a large disc conversion for it. Will take pics tonight and post so there is actually something to look at here. In themeantime I have come to post stuff i dont want to loose. M16 outlaw pistons. Should be same volume as standard. = 1.5" piston Summit = $366 excluding shipping Cardwells = $490inclusive Willwood 120-6813 (Dynalite) 1.62" 41,1 mm .38" 9,7 Fits upto a 13" 330mm dia disc. If can get away with using Dynalite piston bore size that are on price clearance at Summit at mo then can get for $276 exclud shipping.
