Finished bolting in the fishnet recaros this morning while waiting on materials to arrive.

 

also picked up some wedge lock washers for the brake discs.

I don’t know why, but the hunter brake hoses fit the escort calipers, even though the internet says Theyr different threads. So what if Theyr cross threaded right

Hunter meet hotwires, hotwires meet tyres, tyres meet hell muahahaha

 

picked up the new tyres for the new rims.

I’ve run these vigour formulas on the hunter for a few years now. I find them quite grippy, low road noise, and great price.

 

so for these I went with a throwback size of 215/50/13, and with raised white letters.

Out with the old, in with the newer.

may end up ordering some GAZ adjustable shocks for it at some point.

also a direct bolt in jobbie.


have Chris at suspension tech building my coilovers at the moment along with camber top mounts.

After much faffing about trying to figure out this drive issue, I have made an executive decision to pull the 12a out, and put the 4age into this car.

for a couple of reasons:

1:) my new neighbours will appreciate the 4age over the 12a

2:) should be happier on the standard diff

3:) the 12a is going into a revival vehicle worthy of such rowdiness

4:) I’m over the bloody thing at the moment 

 

so yeah, that’s the go I think

Yay, finally received the final piece to the puzzle.

heater bypass pipe, and it’s not rotten.

 

now I can fit this up and get the motor back in the hole for the last time.

still need to source a T50 clutch slave and pin.

 

haven’t done much on this due to waiting on bits.

 

got some tinkering done on the Ute though, engine mounts tacked in place, gearbox position sorted. Ready for the gearbox crossmember to be done and measure for the driveshaft.

I’ll need to go back to a banging bolt for the rear oil cooler fitting due to space. So hopefully I can get a -10 an bango fitting for this.

got a radiator and oil cooler to pick up for it, slightly narrower than the one that was in the hunter.

that rad will stay in there to cool the 4age. 
wiring on the Ute is simple as, just a matter of redirecting some wires, fuel system is already done, utes use the same pumps as a s1 rx7, factory facet.

picked up some black d window rims for it, 17x8s. Should look alright, bloody heavy though.

I’ll need to order new door frame and window rubbers for it.

 

 

but hopefully the hunter will be up and running fairly soon.

No pics.

 

but engine and box is back in the hole, new water pipe is spot on.

got the headers mated up to the exhaust that was on the 12a.

headers are 4-1 and collect into a 2.5” collector, then into a flexi, through 2 resonators and out to the dumpy.

I don’t want the raspy tinny 4age twang that these can give with big pipes.

 

also got the starter bolted up and wired in, so now the entire passengers side of the bay is finished off.

only have the intake to fit up, modify a couple of wires once I figure out which terminals go where on the alternator.

btw the 12a loom is a perfect fit to the 4age for hook ups.

even got the oil pressure and temp senders fitted and wired without modding anything from the 12a.

 

even put oil in it and spun it over by hand. 
still need to fill the gearbox and fit the shifter.

progress is progress
