Hi there!

Hmm I've seen this car on ebay - is that where you got it or did you try selling it recently?

Looks nice. I actually quite like the scoop, though it would look better if it was all red.

Tidy car mate.

All it needs is the 2L that you're after and you'll be set !

Hey juiceman, i havent got on to that fella about the motor / bonnet that you were after as yet ill try again tomorrow...

Maybe try putting up a couple posts up in the wanted section of this forum.. most people on here are willing to help and being mainly an escort forum... most have a shed full of spare parts.. some of which they may sell as they are no longer of any use to them ......etc

Cheers.

i have some new stuff done to the little esky...

heavy duty clutch
heavier worked cam
bigger bearings

im currently working on getting somebody to do a port and polish too

the block and heads have been painted black (better than the crappy stock blue colour haha) so its now time to start dressing the engine bay up too, so im going to be getting braided lines and a chrome air cleaner assembly (looked for ford racing ones but cant find any to suit such a small carby)

Can you confirm that having a black bonnet assures an extra 20HP at the wheels? I have always wondered about that one [:x)]

oh absolutely, and also hanging a stuffed toy off your rear bumper also makes it faster and gives it more ability to drift, just like the black bonnet...hahaha

nah im getting the bonnet painted red as soon as i get some time...black is the colour it was when i bought it

Juiceman,
Love the rs mate, looks sick.
I am interested to see how those rims go and what you paid for them. I am looking into a set of Performance alloy superlites 13 x 7 with a -7 offset. Is that what you have? I was told they only fit under heavily flared guards. I was quoted $199 per rim.

2006/02/24 12:21:09
Juiceman
yeah that is what i have...where abouts are you? are you anywhere near the gold coast? if so, give john at bryce racing developments a call, he ordered mine for $743.66 for the whole set ($180 per wheel + $23.66 freight)

the number is (07)5561 1711

i should be getting the car resprayed within the next few months...the paint is kind of dodgey although in the pictures it looks really good

the bonnet will be red when i paint the car too...im spraying it the same colour (GT Track Red) too
2006/03/18 20:58:46

Car looks awesome in those last pictures. Really will look a lot better once the bonnet is red though.

I think the style of the wheel suits the era of the car - Looks Great!

Thanks mate, that's what I thought too.

I saw a video of a Mk1 race car with a similar wheel and thought it looked great, so I had to have one [:x)]

I've got a new pinto on the way soon with race bearings, bigger valves, mild cam, port and polished, shaved head, twin dellorto 38's and plenty of other goodies. When I put it in I'll update with full information....can't wait!
