That looks fantastic - wheels suit it so well!, looks good without the bumpers too.

 

looks like something out of the mafia!

quality motor, looks hard as nails!!

 

Very nice Taxi

 

Thx mate.

 

Is that the one running megasqurt ? i'm sure i've spoke to the guy how was building it

Looks good

 

looks

 

I've bought a couple of days ago a 205 cosw block with wiseco pistons. There's a lot of work that should be done this winter...

 

Wow that looks fantastic chap. Looks well mean

 

Nope,he never managed to get it work properly. I think he had some problems with the ignition.

Here's some plans about the setup it will be running next year..
- 2wd cosw block with std crank / con-rods and wiseco pistons.
- Ported pinto head,big inlet valves,camshaft ??.
- Large ic.
- Turbo??(Holset hx35w,garret t3/4???We'll see.)
- Megasquirt.
- etc....

 

sounds good why not just drop a YB in there

 

Looks nice
love the wheels mate, don't think i've ever seen such a huge offset on a corty

 

nice tina m8

 

Cause here in Finland we have certain rules that makes it too difficult and the second problem with YB is that they're way to expensive here. The main problem is that we have a hp limit for each model and the YB is too "powerful" for my car.

 

Huge? I think the offset is just perfect. They're 9x16 and the offset is 15. Love the wheels.

 

 

I ran 9x16 escos wheels on mine looked wide but the sus is too low for um,now running 8x18's

Shame about the power limitation what will they let you go up too?and do you have to pay loads of Tax if you go past that???

Still a cool car thou

 

Hello Finlanders, I have been to Finland three times for the 1000 lakes rally, I couldn't believe the huge retro Ford folowing over there US and UK. Mustang, Capri, Granada,Cortina and Escort. You have the bonus that you use studded tyres and not salt as over here.

 

Oh yes,we have salted roads here too. And they salt a lot here.

 

The power limitation is only for the MOT but nobody knows how much power u actually got there or should I say how much power u use on the street/strip/racetrack.
It's quite hard to explain the rules we've got here cause they're not allways so easy to understand.

 

Is it linked to emissions then?sounds very complicated

good luck with your project nice to see a mark 4 for a change

 

Nope..The instance who makes the rules is just a big bunch of assholes,that's the problem. We've also got many other rules that makes this hobby very complicated here in Finland.
If you update the brakes on your car to bigger/stronger or change the engine/gearbox they'll count the precentage of how much you've changed the car. Up to 49,9% is it allowed without paying the taxes again. When the percentage is more than 50% you have to pay the taxes.

 

A few more pics of the car before this project..

 

Mk4, the forgoten cortina
seems like they are on the up at last though a few more real nice ones like yours will help no end i recon

 

Well here in Finland it's mk2 Taunus..

 

do they sell well over there?
Mk3's (TC1? over there?) are well sort after here but the taunus Mk2 just doesn't seem to be loved, Mk5 get a fair bit of attention on the tuining front, not a lot but still more than the Mk4/Taunus Mk2.

 

Nope..
We have a couple of coupe Mk1's here but Taunus (mk1/2/3) has never been so popular here. That's why I bought one. I wanna build something different.

 

Theres a lime green 2-door MK4 Cortina/MK2 Taunus in Jyvaskyla I'll post a pic of it if I can find it.

 

this one?

i like it

 

Love the colour

 

looks very familiar, it was near the ford dealership, at a block of flats, but it had standard wheels and a beige interior. Are you near there?

 

Nope,I live in southern Finland.

I've ordered some parts again,big IC,radiator breather tank and an oil catch can.

 

Some updates.
- Turbo Holset H1E/HX35,52/54.
- Wastegate HKS type 50mm.
