Brock-Lee Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 that exhaust housing looks farken close (read:touching) the strut tower. would hate for you to ruin the mint paint through hearty thrashings etc. looks sweet otherwise tho. dunno bout the cooler hangin below the bumper. but she will be sweet once done Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rot808 Posted November 13, 2008 Author Share Posted November 13, 2008 it appears you may have to stock pile large amounts of tyres once you get it running what you doin to the motor internals wise, ports etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortwags Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 dont you worry bout that exhaust housing mate the turbos on the piss as i havent forked out for bolts yet (doing a massive batch of hex bolts) when its done up it sits about 5cm away which is sweet going to get that heat sheild crap to go over there anyway and dont worry bout the cooler either wanting to do something different i rekon it makes it look like a angry mutha f''ka plus it cant go any higher than it is as it will pop out the bonnet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortwags Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 leaving motor stock (this one anyway) just want to get the bitch going and thrash its tits off then theyl be bigger and better plans once its vinned and all that jazz yeh tyres are going to be a bummer as i can only source 2 more of what i have in N.Z!@@!!@ should be good for 300+ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escortwags Posted November 13, 2008 Share Posted November 13, 2008 cheers mate should be a wee bit faster than the old mk1 cortina after this weekend it should be more of a car (interior should be done) and drivetrain almost sorted just sourced a 27mm sway bar for up the front so combined with the $1000's and $1000's ive spent on the bloody driveline it should go pretty sweet on the track to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CUL8R Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 Generally not much of a Rotary fan myself, But gotta say, thats freakin awesome man, liking it alot.. Decent amount of time & thought gone into it Will it be recieving a cage? And whats the main purpose of it? - Trackdays? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortwags Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 hay yeh it will end up getting a cage but maybe after the vinning process just to make it "a bit" easier its purpose.. well... to basically to scare the shit outa me and my mates but yeh will definitly be hitting track days and wsa building it as a drag car to so may see it appear at meremere alot but who knows if i cant b f'd with vinning the fines and all the stupid laws that around these days might just make it a dedicated 'fun' car if you get what i mean a real size toy car Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jase Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 what size are the mags/tires, definitely loving this thing and will hopefully have a few old maz's about for track day if i finish my ute to tow my gemi down(jeez i shoulda been on the castle) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escortwags Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 they are 15 inch simmons ..with wait for it weeny tiny 185 50 15's streched on obviously wont use them for track use (the tyres anyway) got them painted (by my mate) all de curbed all re polished and the backs dished out so after all that they owe me alot of $$$$ worth it though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

escortwags Posted November 14, 2008 Share Posted November 14, 2008 yeh i could easily fit atleast a 215 or even squeeze a 235 as the diffs been shortened in accordance but then if i did that i woulnt have some made stretch action then that would just be gay they are 8's thinking in the near future to get some wider inner and see how far i can push the wheel boundaries in the back before mini tubing and its sweet how you cant them anymore makes em that much sweetwr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
