my escort hack

Recommended Posts

Hey Man. That setup withthe dual sway bars at the front. I got a few questions as this is what i wanted to do. Got anymore pictures or dimemnsions? Where did you get the Clamps from. how much to get made?. What are they made out of? steel/alloy/aluminum? I have got a sway bay I was trying to mount in the weekend before the track day but run out of time. how far back from the suspension arm/wishbone piece did you cut the 2nd sway bar?. from the existing collar? Also did this help with any handling eg less roll. Did you do anythig with the rear sway bar as they look to be made out of numbner 8 wire. Sorry lots of questions but looked sweet. Thanks Craig

ill get a couple of pics for you tomorro,the blocks are made of alluminium and i didnt make them they where on my cortinas double sway bar cant remember off hand how far back i cut them will take a measurement tomorro,um as for a change in handling ill let you know when i get the motor in and take it for a thrash haha,and also not sure on rear swaybar just found it on a burnt out escort.so all in all a pretty useless reply haha.

Looking sharp, keep up the good work. That is a good finish for out of the can. What colours the rest of it gona be?

cheers,yuh i was suprised at the finish first time i have used this brand its called colorpak laquer expensive for a can but obviously quite good hopefully at the end of this year i should have it resprayed in red its gonna be my daily driver so i will probably be focusing on a panel each weekend until the car is completely straight and in primer(theres only a couple of little dents to fix any way)

Some nice work there buddy, the engine bay looks real good in black. That engine should make a huge difference for you too

cheers mate,yea well the old motor i had in it just never quite went as well as what i thought it would and after pulling it down i now see why,on no.1 piston both rings where buggered and on the other three pistons the top rings where all stuffed plus half the bearings etc where loose as shit :rolleyes:
