Hey Shaun,
As having the car street registered, this was a bit beyond my scope and having the work done by a friend, ill do everything i can, but want to make sure it will be safe and of course reliable,
Cant take the credit this time round, but this/that man has skills

Have you had a look at Phil's Cortina? He spent a lot of time getting the front end setup on his rack and pinion cortina.
great work as always.

Hey Shaun, yeah have looked at Phil's and tried to get my head around it and try not and copy him haha, thus far looks to be on track with an anti dive kit can't see any dramas with alignment etc
Like most things anything can be made to suit but seems escorts are more favored for parts and nothing readily available in aus

Hey Buzz,
See your Cory has got the 4 gauge pod I have been trying to get hold of- any chance someone could make a mould of it- glass or something?

While the Cortina is being finalised and back on the ground, Getting more pieces for the engine, More suitable intake as the S13 bannana log is rubbish   and a top mount manifold that is more aesthetic  Next is to mount it up and see if it fits, yeah im a bit worried i might not....

Hi Buzz,
Thanks for getting back to me. Have been trying to find one on Web for quite a while but no luck. Might have to have a go at doing up a dummy one myself. Your Cory is going to be an amazing beast when done. Mark one with a 1600 crossflow was my first car when a teen ( many moons ago!)
Cheers,
Len
