There 245/40/18 , they were on the wheels when i got them from Kev Sharp. I think Danny B sorted them for him to give max grip as they were going on a drag/track car, when i change them will prob go down to a 245/35/18.

Default Your Car

Hi fella,


Have to say the pics of the car look stunning and that its a credit to you.

Look at the interior pic of the car i can see that you have fitted the secs monitor in the ash tray slot. Also noticed that you have a different clock, please could you explain what you have done as i would like to do something similar to my cossie.


Regards

I got my SECS monitor second hand and it came with saff mounting so made a carbon suround out of an old splitter i had lying around, also removed the clock and put an AFR gauge in the space also on a carbon suround. Think im going to re do my dash and move the secs monitor up next to the afr gauge as its hard to see in the ashtray position.

No Jon its normal it isnt the 909 sport box,on the build reciept i have for the box its down as 909 gears . The teeth are semi straightcut and slightly larger than standard, took all my old engine could throw at it without problems. I will wait and see what power this engine makes, but think i will be selling this box and fitting a mullit box later this year.

Default SECS INFO

Well mate all i can say is your car looks and sound the dogs, very jealous. Thought mine was special but yours is in a different league.

You mentioned that you built the secs monitor yourself, but are thinking of placing it somewhere different. If this is the case would you be prepared to sell your old housing as for me this is where i would fit mine due to ice being in my 2 din slots.

Regards

Looks stunning mate, and the spec
Personally I wouldn't have the RS and cosworth on the front grill, and would rebadge the rear as it looks bare

The grill was on the car when i got it , dont think you can buy them done but would not be hard to do with some fibreglass and filler.

Default Grill

Hi all, not 1005 sure but the grill from the xr3i from a 92 J To a 93 K should fit the car and leaves out the ford oval.

Please dont hold me to this, but remember as a younger lad that one of the car mags mentioned it.

Regards

Interesting about the grill as it would save people having to cut up the standard one like what was done to mine
New billet fuel rail, and aeroquip hoses arrived today and going to be getting 362mm Brembo brakes from Reyland next week

Just cleaned and painted up my new mullet spec rear diff ready to fit , will be getting fitted with a R&B uprated hanger.





Also some pics of my thickwalled plated front diff thats being fitted.









So hopefully these along with my semi straightcut box should make a reliable transmission set up, i plan to go for a mullet box start of nextyear anyway. Only problem with the shiny diff is it will make me want to bufty the rest of the underside

Liking the brakes - what 4-pot brembo's are they?, the same that is fitted OE cars or are they an aftermarket caliper?

thanks
