I have alway wanted a 3 door so bit the bullet and bought this for a some fun whilst my escos gets its gearbox conversion sorted, what do you think




















Im loving it at the moment

 

nice mate.. whats the spec?

 

what do i think? i think you've got too much money for 'toys'

looks bloody nice mate! nice set of brakes!
is that a T4 on it too?

quaiffe semi straight big tooth gear box ,gripper rear diff a1 ralley sport moded group a coil overs 6 pots ect

got some rrearly nice bits might get it on the track at some point

 

wicked spec mate

 

very nice...for a 2nd toy.

 

Very nice looking and a proper spec aswell.
What box conversion are you getting on the escort, did you brake the bara box ?

 

Looks very nice

 

nice. my old t4 with 8 greens went really well. enjoy.

 

i need to get a job with you mate so i can afford the escos or the 3 door lol

love the white car on white wheels

 

Looks a proper motor, fair play mate.

 

Has the other half still got the Saph ?? Liking the 3 door , I always wanted a Moonstone one. 1 day.

 

going 5 speed skyline ,trying to use skyline rear diff just got to mess with the tyre sizes to get ratios right

on the bara box cracking bit of kit but i just cant launch hard on the normal transmition and im not going to go to ffd or r+d and 9 inch diff as i want to keep it road useable and would rather spend the money on other things

to date this year

input shaft uprated bara




output shaft as soon as i rebuilt the gear box after the input shaft


3 drive shafts they just snapped like twigs (now have upratted dome shafts)

rear diff

front section of rear prop

and cooked my centre diff as the car went front wheel drive when the rear diff went its all getting a bit of a pain in the ass and thats all with out gas darent even touch that switch

 

saffs still going strong could use a rebuild at some point as its clocked over 130k now on bottom end

 

wow thats a mint second toy enjoy it pal

 

fooking mint!

 

Thanks all loving it at the moment

 

that looks nice mate

is this the Skyline conversion Gordon has been threatening for a while now??

 

yes he is sick of lifting my gear box in and out lol
hows thing are you coming ashbey on tues if the weather is nice

 

very nice

 

Fuck me

 

luving that

 

Are you going for the active split diff aswell or just locking it at a set pressure. We measured a 6 speed skyline box up at ava next to my box and it wasnt too far off think the stick sat about 6" further back.

 

not active on five speed 2wd/4wd switch able so doing that , gear stick on 5 speed is the same as mt5 give or take 5mm so all good

 

i thought you liked having a quick release gearbox....

i need to talk to you about my roof lining, yours looks amazing on the 3dr, do u think we could drop my back seats and get it throught the boot instead of taking the window out?

 

that box complete with transfer box is up for sale the now,the syncro is starting to crunch on quick changes,but is fine on regular driving,would make for an intresting conversion

 

how much torque/power on that escos !?

 

560 bhp and 450 ish pounds just finds it very early in the rev range (on a launch boost hits 2.3 bar in about 2m )

 

have got the box already taking the casings to martin h to bell housing conversion will sort the rest my self

 

Awesome for a main car never mind a second toy!

 

Hi andy.
Nice toy you have there, have always been my dream car
Let me know how things get on with the box, and please tell gordon to get his finger out and send me some stuff

 

what you waiting on, as much as gordon is now one of my most trusted and closest friends if you need something keep going on about it ..........if not you will keep waiting lol

 

LOL i have found out
Just some plugs and braided hose for another management system i need, but will give him a call tomorrow

 

you changing again?

 

NOOOOOOO working just fine now
It´s for another car i´m building, hopefully it will be ready in a few weeks so we can arrange for some mapping time

 

another one to look forward to, im almost tempted to take some time off and come with gor when your mapping and also thinking of going gt35 to slow down my torque curve

 

That would be so cool, and finally get some faces to the names LOL
Yes from what i can understand that would be a good idea

 

from the videos ive seen you could also teach me to launch with some mechanical simpathy lol

 

I do my best, only broken 3 gearboxes in 8 years tho

 

yours has not moved for4 of those years has it
