Pinto power is going to be the cheapest option. And the most simple.
You could always look into turboing your pinto if you want more power. Tho blowthrough isn't worth it so you would want to go EFI. And with any sizable ammount of boost internals are going to have to be changed along with gearbox and diff because of the amount of Torque you would but asking them to deal with. Hey that just became expensive too... =(

The teacher inside of me is wanting to tell you to do a pros/cons list and a cost analysis report with a power per dolor ratio figure for each option. Then you can make an informed decision about the approach you want to take. LOL!

Haha yeah a turbo set up would certainly cost a few dollars. i've decided to go with the 4age but if a cheap pinto comes up i wont say no :)

got some parts for the ae86, escort is still pretty much untouched, although i removed the side strips and finally got all the glue off, looks a lot nicer now. will get pics up once i put some tyres on the globes and get them on, looks disgusting with stockies.
AE86 PARTS TIME.

PolyUrethane Steering Rack Bushes
OEM Power Steering Arms for extra lock
24mm Selbys Sway Bar

XT130 Corona Lower Control Arms. 10mm more track and about 1-2 degrees of negative camber.



JDM STYLE P PLATE.


Probably going to look like this soon,i think it makes the body kit look more factory.
FROM THIS

TO THIS

So your going to paint it black?
IMO it looks great the way it is.

im not too sure at this stage.
once it's lowered with better fitment i will see how i feel about the matter. black looks more stock imo.

as for the escort, www.rallydesign.co.uk have good prices, wondering if any one has any experience with buying from rally design and if the shipping from UK would completely offset the cost saved on purchase prices?

I have purchased products from rally design and the cost of shipping was about the same as the cost of the parts =|

back in the day you could order twice as much and flog it off to offset the postage cost. But now everyone does it. You may get lucky if someone wants some stuff.
