Bit more being done, this time the top arms being done and now all linked up and quite rigid,

 

Tested tyre width and seems 255 wide tyres fit, and could go wider when the leaf's are dropped out

 

 

 

 

 

Next is to fit these bad boys to pull her up

 

 

So rear end is mostly complete, just to fit the Gaz coilovers all round to position the ride height for the wheel offset, and Brembo's are on

 

 

 

 

Enough looking at the rear end, up front the SR20 has been remounted on the Escort rack and pinion,

Escort crossmember has been lowered 20mm

Gearbox crossmember redesigned also, same idea

Holy crap that setup is awesome, very nice work!!

Small update, or sizable update

 

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 I'm a bit worried i might not....

 

So figured it was time to bolt some of these things together, surprised it fits, clears and fills her up

 

 

 

 

 

And got the GAZ Coilovers in with adjustable tops

 

 

Chucked on some wheels to see confirm the offset, these are no the rims, but are 18's

 

 

Prolly should go 355mm front rotors i think

 

Looking good Carlos! That's tight! Being a small engine bay................will heat be a problem?

 

Cheers!

Cheers matty, ill prolly thermal coat the hot side to contain the heat, or do your trick and park it in the shed forever haha

Very nice work mate.

 

You doing all the welding/fabricating yourself?

 

I still see you are rockin' that quote in your signature, that is going back a few years now!

Hey Dave, yeah was a great day that one, and shows how diverse and all sorts we are haha, since you were last in NISROLA, the Cortina will be more fun, and cause it will be street driven I don't have the required skills to have it all signed off by the engineer, but he does an awesome job tho

So updates I better share on the forums as opposed to FB

 

Rear end is complete with coilovers, and 6 link

 

 

 

 

Gussets are done also, make it more rigid

 

 

 

18inch rims fit are the minimum these days, and 300mm rear rotors

 

Oh this is shaping up very nicely.

Alright some other things i don't know what they do

 

 

I really hope you finish this beast, will be a wild turnout (if its the same idea in my head!), and keep those pics coming, loving it!!!
