He should have greased them up before sending, would have stopped the rust!


Nice though

Exactly like mine.
Make sure that you put your seatbelt on BEFORE braking.

EXCELLENT set of brakes.

yeah me too.
the engine build is pretty going on the right tracks.just have to get a new engine block..as my old engine block has a to big bore..91.8...and liners will not be used..cause its not gonna be a mongo big power engine..so reliability is a big issue on my engine.so i will try and get myself a engine block that is standard bore.

really want a alu engine block..but thats expensive.hehe

its the bumper that is not hundred percent straight..i think.but i dont think the quality of morettes are that great anyways..its just fuckin stupid thin plastic main frame..and...yeah..not very good i think.
but its allright.
thats because the twin headlamps on this car are not WRC units they are morrettes, the pukka world car items are differant

p.s nice build Lowman

It looks like the discs are solidly bolted to the bell, not floating. If you're doing it that way the bells should be slitted to avoid warping. The Group A Escort Cosworth ran bolted 355mm discs. If you find a picture of those bells/discs you can see how the slotting was done
a group A slotted bell is complettly different to what this guy is using and only works on a group A upright.the offset on standard uprights means a group A bell cannot be used.its the difference between proper parts and fast road stuff.
