i put this box about 30cm behind the exhaust to see how much fuel comes out &... well a little bit did [:x)]

Just a little update on how my luck is going with the Escort...

So i got my tax back and i was all excited about going to get my car dynoed [:x)].. So i live in Tamworth and was heading 3and a half hours south back to Newcastle to get it Dynoed at John Collins Dyno Tuning.

So i hope in the car after work and start heading down to Newcastle and i get 40kms out of town and then bang... the clutch let's go and burnt out... So here i am 10pm at night stranded outside of town and NRMA taking their sweet time to get me!

So thanks to my Uncle (BLOWNMK12L) towing it to the clutch place and i got it looked at a couple of days ago, so i got a phone call yesterday telling my not only is my clutch completly busted my gearbox is totally rooted aswell [8~2]

I've officially broken everything once [B)]

So im getting a new heavy duty clutch put in and replacing it with another 5spd sierra box! (thanks again Ben)

What will go next?

Rhys.

Dunno what's gonna break next but im here when it does, wither to supply the parts you need or make you an unreasonable offer...

I still need a MK2 flat front for the collection.

Ben.

I just worked out what's gonna break next.....

Your spirit when we line up...

:) :) :) :) :)

Seriously though when you gonna get it back ?

Ben.

Still at the shop getting fixed Ben, no idea on progress. Ill call tomorrow
maybe he's working on the best way to tell me what the damage is without me having a heart attack.

I so can't wait to own you aswell.. lol, you will be wondering for weeks how I beat you by such long lengths!

that's if my car even gives me a chance to race without breaking somthing first haha.. owen if my car would make it I would come down for a cruise but she's not thag reliable at the moment lol

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 :)

Cheers Rhys
