The only other issue was the supplied brake lines. They supply ADR legal braided lines and also the original rubber ones still fitted to the calipers, but they have a female fitting for the attachment to the engine bay sidewall instead of a male fitting. Would be just a case of changing the escort fitting around a little but thats all. All items are of very good quality.

As for power figures, these upgrades will finally allow me to really push it on the dyno very shortly. Thats when the dyno shop recovers from the flood damage here in Newcastle. I was glad that i was doing this upgrade as the car is up on stands and my shed was flooded. It reached the hub centre line even up on stands.[:0]

Sounds good, i'll grab a set for mine soon. My brother went to see the bloke about brakes for his falcon and said everything looked to be of good quality.

Where abouts in newcastle are you? my cars in newcastle atm but didn't get flooded. What sort of power figures are you looking for??

Im at New Lambton. As for power, more is better but im searching to eventually get to 250-300 rwkw. A little while off yet but i think it should get at least 200rwkw at the moment with only 10-12 psi boost. The standard turbo is running out of puff at the moment so it will be one of the first things to be upgraded next plus 550 cc injectors. The current upgrades should give me a good platform to cope with the intended power.
I dont think any more than that would be of benefit as the car only weighs about 750-800 kg

Yeah i hope everyone else in the area didn't suffer damage. There are lots of nice cars in Newy.

I noticed in your thread that you have a polished manifold. I have a chrome rocker cover for a pinto if you want it. It needs a new home since i have a sr20 now. Free to good home. Would shine up that engine bay with the twin carbs aswell.

Yep, good old Newy. I will be getting Promac to do the diff shortly. They priced it around the $600-750 as i have already shaved off all the brackets and have supplied the saddle brackets. A bit pricey but i haven't found anyone else yet. Know anyone?
Then its a case of fabricating a hand brake system with the cables i have from the EB/ED setup and modifying the 3 inch driveshaft.
