R100 Posted January 4, 2011 Share Posted January 4, 2011 Loose the pinto. Drop in a 302 with lumpy cam and W58 toyota 5 speed. Ford 9" diff and series 5 RX7 discs and calipers all round. Fit a set of Weld Racing superlites 15x6 and 15x10" mini tub the rear with 225-50-15's on the rear and 195-50-15's on the front. Paint it metalic brown like the new BMW X1. Drop it a few inches and it will be sweet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RT Posted January 9, 2011 Share Posted January 9, 2011 Forget about cams and 45's etc on a pinto and spend the money on getting the head worked. It won't do anything unless you fully work the head. Talk to nismo-capri and get him to work a head for you. He knows how to work a pinto. pm sent Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
