how much did you pay for your inlet setup..

it was £1.00 per horse power that the engine gets.
So pretty cheap really.

fair enough was just wondering as ive got a injection perfection set up and im looking at selling off everything thats all..

I\'ll give you £2.50 for it
Seriously can you mail me specs and pics?

Well you have gone and said it now Carl, 1,000,000HP (one million) 13B as it cost a million quid(had me wondering why it was so expensive in the first place)!!! I shall expect a refund if were not within 10% of that figure  or a couple of the next gen billets for testing?? Hahaha

[Grant Monkhouse]

Well I didn\'t think the FD 16" wheels would fit with room to spare but they do, have got at least an inch clearance to the arch so can go wider on a new set of wheels!!

Oh and is this low enough for everyone?

[shaunwil]

Awesome

Nice set of 17\'s and it will look fantastic !

Hmm maybe!!

[antnicuk]

what hubs and uprights are using to be able to fit FD wheels?  also what rear are you running?

Loving this motor . It\'s all about the old skool motors with supercar performance as far as i\'m concered so this ticks all the boxes , it\'s mega cool .
I\'ve also got a mk1 Escort so know about leaf spring rear suspension and the best thing about it is that they hook up a treat even when the car\'s low and hard . My Escort does 1.9sec 60 foots at the Pod even with cold tyres (no burn out) and they are only 175mm wide .

Awesome!! I think these tyres are 225s. Will be getting a pair with drag tyres on to get even better traction too.

A guy I know has a mk1 Mexico, I want it off him so I can put a 13B PP in it but iv got chance at braiding urine then getting that off him.

I have got a few mk1/2 escort parts going on my car, would you believe me if I said the U bolts fit perfect!!

Looking good Grant

With slicks that wide you\'ll do sub 1.5sec 60 foots . Even the mk1 Escorts on 185mm wide slicks are doing 1.5secs and lifting the wheels with pintos !!!!
All we have is normal radius arms running off the rear floor pan onto the top of the axle to stop tramping and that\'s it . No ladder bars or anything fancy and that way they still go around corners fine . Lowering blocks work well with decambered leaf springs as they lower the roll centre further so much better than just running the leafs on their own .
Yours will give you jet lag when it hooks up , lol .

I am running anti tramp bars from the chassis runners under the car to the underside of the axle, dont think it makes a difference whether theyre on top or bottom, but they sure as hell will give me some nic straight burnout marks and no boinging when i launch the car.
 
i have some 1" lower blocks that came with the escort U bolts, dont think i will use them as i have had the leefs rolled the other way. lower blocks propmote tramping, which is what i want to get away from.

[600gaz]

Sounds like a plan . We all run lowering blocks and straight single leaf springs and still get zero tramping , mine just slams into the bump stops on launch (car\'s low) and goes sideways for 2 gears , lol . You can point the diff nose further downwards with relocated spring platforms to aid traction further but most don\'t bother unless chasing 1/100ths off the line . Good fun though when they snake down the road , you\'ll have a whale of a time . :Thumbsup!

[Grant Monkhouse]

I hope so. It\'s going to be interesting to drive.

What rear gear ratio do you use? I\'m using a 4.672
