nice progress there mate. keep it up.

 

Thanks =)

really like this thing, should be a little beast with that motor setup, i had bike carbs on my rt80 corona and it worked pretty good, but i didn't set it up very good and the carbs were pretty small, i'm gonna re-do my setup with some gsx 750 carbs, and they are cheaper than webers etc.... :y:

[timj]

Thank you:-)

I hope that it will be a fun ride:-) I've got some friends with very good knowledge on ford engines, one of them is the previous owner of an infamous blue wrc escort...;-) and he recon that with the setup I will run I should we 150+rwhp.... And that's before I change the cams....:-))

So hopefully it will be a sweet ride with a little umph...:-))

 

Again, thanks for all the kind words and interest:-))

That Escort was amazing!!

 

I don't think you'll have too much trouble getting that power, the heads on them are pretty good from factory.

[timj]

Tell me about it...:-)) the car was amazing...everything on that car was 110% all the time.... Insane car:-)

 

The heads are really good, so I can't hardly wait to get it set up and dynoed.....:-))

[timj]

Got some more stuff done this weekend, not to much but.....

 

 

 

I also got some stuff in the mail.....

 

New bellhousing, T9 to Zetec....

 

 

T9 gearbox.....

 

 

AE86 front struts....

 

Hopefully I will get some more things done this week.....

 

Anyone bought windscreen seals front and rear from Ebay? Mine is so hard, that the only way I can get them out of the car I think is to cut them....

[timj]

Some pics of the new flares....

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

My innlet manifold is on its way to, so hopefully i can start to plan the engine transplant soon....

Only some small things left before paint, will have to wait until start of next year to get it painted though... Wifey not to keen on me being in the garage all the time now so.....

The only thing I worry about is if its possible to lover it that much.....

Love your wheel / tire combo. can't wait to see it resting on its own feet.

So... Any news? Got an ol' -77 2-door KE30 myself, and have some similar ideas. Very interested in the intake setup.

 

Hope you haven't given up! |blink|
