Thanks for the comments fella. Yep, there was only one wheel choice for me and that was 17 or 18" MO6's in that colour. These 17s came up at the right money so had to snap them up.

Tony is winging the sump, porting the head etc and pocketing my pistons. He is also supplying his secret squirrel cams,chip and a set of double valve springs

Saunders motor works have the bottom end for honing and balancing.

Block is back and assembled. New oversized wisecos, honed, decked and .25 grind on the crank. New cosworth high pressure oil pump, ACL race bearings, seals and cometec gaskets.

Just need to run a few parts through the parts washer and take delivery on my big winged sump from tony and the bottom end is done! Oh and paint the block.

Default Lowering

Hi, firstly great work on the build, read the whole thread from the beginning, fascinating stuff.
How I have ended up here is I just bought a 2.0l pinto P100 and im in desperate need of advice. I really really want to lower it quite a lot but im unfamiliar with leaf spring set ups. Im not looking to put cosworth power in it at any time I just would like to know the easiest and safest way to drop the rear. Please please please if anyone can tell me how to do this I would be very grateful.

Regards, Chris

It's simple fella. You just need some lowering block, some take a leaf out to soften then ride.

It's been a while so I thought I better update my thread.

So I've pretty much got my engine built up.

I won't go into the spec but there has been no expense spared. Tony is expecting it to push out nearly 500 horses. Here's a few pics. Pulleys are from mark at mk motorsport, just waiting on the exhaust manifold from him and a few other bits such as a fuel rail, ss bolts and drop bracket etc.

As you can see its not 100% finished but not far away.

I've also done over to Gaz coilovers and fully power flex black series every thing. Also got my reconditioned box in. Yes I know it's filthy but I have a chemical at work that will sort that out.

I've also taken delivery of some goodies. 320mm rear bells and rotors from mt motorsport and the other lot from matt Lewis. When for an airtec 70mm cooler, rewire looms for piece of mind and twin air injectors.

These are the brakes that are going up front. These are jag xkr brembos that run 355x32mm discs or rotor. These have been shipped to mark at mk motorsport to have the brackets are bells machined. Big thanks to joffy for the calipers.
