davidian Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 whats your budget like? most would say shorten a hilux diff but you might end up with different PCDs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
escorted Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I like the Fred Flintstone spec floor. Ditch those modgies in a hurry and you will have a swell little rocket Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaneo Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 With that much power have you thought about seem welding it? before you get to far into the panel Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brendon Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yeah good point ivé been thinking about what strengthening it's going to need. I'm mechanically minded but I'll be honest i do not know jack So will i need to get it seam welded, Gussets, Suspension Turrets, 2 link or 4 link kit etc (Will be looking at around 250hp) Will probably email Palmside and see if they have any suitable diffs, really want to keep the same PCD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shizzl Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 are you a Sapper? as soon as i saw the first pic i was almost certain it was my first escort..... but the goldy brown in the drivers foot area gave that away that its not... looks good,keep the modgies,can always paint the centre dish black and leave the chrome lip,and if you get sick of that you can take the paint off and sell them....

brendon Posted August 4, 2012 Author Share Posted August 4, 2012 Haha yeah mate You'd be surprised how "good" the floor looked before the grinder got in there, good enough to pass a warrant anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-W-G Posted August 4, 2012 Share Posted August 4, 2012 Yeah good point ivé been thinking about what strengthening it's going to need.

Just new bushes, shocks, springs,2 link etc Turrets youll lose your rear seat and create a shit load more work Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-W-G Posted August 10, 2012 Share Posted August 10, 2012 Your offset will probably be causing it. What are the offset of those rota shakotans? Escorts usually like anything close to zero. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
