Thought i might refresh this thread seeing it's getting a CA18DET conversion done.
A few months ago i picked up this Project car with a CA18DET in it and most things converted but the tricky stuff not yet done. It's a MKII 4DR and it's just got too many doors for my liking. So i thought ill pull all the fruit off this 4DR and put it in my 2DR MKII.
The 4DR is really straight and with next to no rust in it, but it had been butchered at the front guards to fit a monster sized intercooler in, also had an alloy drop tank & welded roll cage so the car wasnt going to be easy to get registered and overall needed more work then my MKII if i just pulled all the stuff over from it.
What i'll be taking from it:
- CA18DET with ECU & box
- Hilux Diff
- Falcon Brakes
- Slotted Rotors
- Surge tank
- Fuel pump
- 16" Rims
Now i made a deal with a mate of mine who owns a Tyre & Suspension shop who does a whole bunch of other performance mods too that if he swaps all the gear over from the 4DR to my 2DR he can have the shell of the 4DR (with my old 2dr wheels and suspension + Diff housing) because he wanted a track Car/Advertising. So hes going to put a v6 into the 4dr and track day it and then park it out the front of hes shop to maybe drum some more performance business, so for both of us its a win win situation.
So everything is sitting in my 2DR now bolted up & ready to be sent down to Kyle @ Kyles Conversions in Newcastle. I'll take some more pictures when i get time but for time beeing ill just upload some old ones i've got of the two cars and just some random ones of the escort seeing its been awhile :)
