finished today, took it out for a few gentle miles to test it....brought it back to give it a check over....took it up the road 500 yards put the foot down in second....stripped the fooking pinion on the diff at 1.5 bar of boost

feckin wish i hadnt sold my 9" diff



but apart from that im very pleased with it...had another diff to stick in it...but think buying another 9" is whats needed.
heres a few pics if anyones interested

 

Underside looks the nuts - bet it won't stay like that for long !

 

thats my type of escosrwd

 

wow what a car

 

fuck me thats some fuel system aint it kev ?

 

Looking good.

How gentle in second is gentle lol.

 

Awesome work Kev, all that torque you see mate... imagine full boost??

 

Thats MINT! Proper nice spec aswell.

Will be norty that when its got a proper diff.

looks awesome kev.i would like a drivein a rwd one myself as i keep thinking about doing it to mine at some point.
and sorry for being a thick twat but what are the bars coming off the front tca's?

 

Looking good kev

 

doesn't a RWD conversion devalue it somewhat ???

 

Bullet, they are compression struts, to control the caster.

Stunning car

 

awsome car kev

 

looking good i will nip in for a looky tomorrow,the black tanks look good too eh!?


as for the diff! mike tyson strikes again! lol

 

cheers chip. did wonder as ive been under a few cossies and never seen them.



do these converstions really drive that well? ive only ever had a 325i before thats rwd. not sure if i'd bin a rwd 400 plus car with such a short wheel base

 

Looking awsome Kev , just park it up as i want a shot before you fuck the next diff .
Whats the ride like with the comp struts and no antiroll bar?

 

Awesome looking car!!!

How did you paint the underside?

 

where do you get them adjustable ani roll bar bits?

 

Very nice Kev you buffty

 

Nuts Rus off here

 

cheers for all your comments guys

Beefy, it runs a high vol low pressure lift pump to feed this swirl pot in the boot

that then feeds the 2 044 pumps pictured above, its 500+bhp 8inj T4 so it likes lots of fuel on tap

paul, underside was powerwashed to fook to get all the old waxoil off it then cleaned with thinners...scotchbrited with thinners then sprayed with 2pack

RWD drives mint, its the first one i,v driven, much better than a sierra IMO prob because of slightly shorter wheelbase and stiffer shell

i dont care what it does to the value of it....you dont need to chop anything on the shell so when i break the car up its still a proper escos shell

neil...i,ll try not to break this diff...no promises though

davie...yep i like the satin black glad i got them powder coated

no ones noticed the gearbox yet

 

Is that NOT the TKO then pal?

 

Those pumps and filters i'd move,They look ever so close to the exhaust and imo it could heat the fuel a tad too

Just a opinion not a dig great looking car

Paul

 

A gearbox is a gearbox to me,,,,,,,,,,,,, but holy shite Kev, that's MINT.

 

4x4 r 4 girls rwd 4 boys nice motor

 

theres actually plenty clearance paul, its just the pic....i thought the same when i looked at it, i am going to make a little heatshield though

yep it a tremec TKO600 box

 

excellent i was going to suggest that for safety

Paul

 

looks great that kev you don't hang about do ya!!

steve

 

i forgot to say once it had another diff in it and got a proper drive of it ...i had forgotten just how quick that engine is

anyone got a 3.6 9" diff for sale?

 

Very nice Kev

 

it was monopolising the ramp steve and i need to get landrovers on it

so had to get it shifted asap

 

love it ;0)

 

Cool Conversion.... as for the diff i blame the owner LOL

 

does 9" go straight in or do you to cut a bit out of the cross meber?
