I think the next step will be rubber coated 44 gal drums with a centre welded in Phil[(#)].

18 x 10's with 285/30/R18 tyres

The appropriate slang is PHAT[(#)][88][:0][:u]...You need more mass in the boot to make use of the extra rubber[(#)]

Here are some pics of what my last few weeks worth of spare time has achieved...crossmember moved back 40mm and the engine back 20mm.All in the aid of achieving that perfect geometrical set up,and solving a few other little issues along the way

Looks good Phil. Just curious though, why did you move the cross member back 40mm? I would have thought you'd want to move it (and the sway bar) forward?

It's to centre the wheels in the wheel arches and allow full movement. Not so critical with 13" but when your talking 18" and 19"...every millimetre counts[;^)]

The other reason is that it is an escort geometry set up in a cortina,the original cortina crossmember location isnt equivalent to an escort setup

This is what is required to fit seats over 4 link boxes More mods to the seat back will be required to fit around the rollcage which will run to the top of the rear turrets

Yeh, I should have got my seats trimmed after all this work![:o)] Now will have to strip them down by the looks of it.[:(!]

They might be able to modify your existing trims if they are in good nic Im considering a cage something like this one,it will only require some minor mods to the seatback framing to fit around the cage[:p]

More Goodies





And this is a work in progress...I am designing a shroud which will take air from 3' hole in the front panel which is visible next to the cooler. This hole will be hidden behind the front grille. The air flow can then exit next to the inner guard and the shroud will also double as a stone shield[%]

Cheers Fehlbie It's a slow process,but the results should be well worth it in the end[:p] It was a challenge to find the oil cooler a home where it could do its thing without being hit by something or getting in the way[;^)]
