well i dont have 1 myself, i use my bosses, not sure of the name but its Ł1000 i think, how much are you looking to spend?

 

i have a 306 dturbo lad, phase 1. ay lad type kieran mc aneney into facebook, the profile pic should give it away :L

 

about Ł250-300 with gas lol

nah sir women are the least of my worries atm ahaha

 

go to an auction and look for one second hand, that auction beside the c'dawson roundabout would be the ticket lol

lol same as lad, my woman fucked off shortly before i started stripping mine so now im sorted lol

 

need to get her sorted, depressin me it sittin, but there was nothing that could be done like when youve no spit lol

if im done with it and you still need it il lend u it surely






for a fiver a day:P lol

 

lol you looking to make you money back on it at a fiver a day? lol
im gona buy my own spit now, how long has it taken yours so far?
and give me a link to the one your getting please

 

started work on it in the start of september,

has taken the spit 2 weeks, should be here tomorrow.

cant find the link lad, just type mk2mania into google

 

i started work on mine at the start of december, the time of the bad snow. getting on rightly i think lol.

i just ordered mine now lad until it comes ill be lying in under it with a grinder and wire wheel lol yeeeehhawwwwww

 

i need one of those boxes to keep all my bolts in - currently they are all in one big box and i have no idea where any of these bolts go now

 

spit came today

u will see it tomorrow

 

ill get my da to make 1 for you lol, there some job hi but ill be completely fucked if it ever gets dropped or spilled lol

 

mine wont be as high tech as yours lol, but it will do my job anyway lol

 

what can u do lol

 

we update..
went to look at the new shell yesterday with a slight hangover lol, really impressed with it. needs some small holes patched, but nothing major. but the best bit is it has 4 electric windows, electric sunroof, heated front windscreen and an on board computer so much better than my own shell, which doesnt even have front electric windows lol,

the plan is to lift the shell tomorrow evening also i ordered my spit which should be here within a fortnight thats all for now

 

what was it then pal, a ghia?

 

ay lad i think its a ghia, real happy with it anyway

 

sure kieth has it all sorted for you now :P you see your sometimes better off buyin the slightly cheaper crap (well ill needa wait and see how mine looks when it arrives )

 

Hows this coming along? What lsd are you fitting, out of a 2.9 or 2.0 xr4x4?

Rob,

 

its coming along well lad, i brought the shell home yesterday, and have the engine bay stripped, its nearly all stripped atm anyway, engine is rightly stripped, next step is to get it on the spit and get workin underneath

well i bought it out of a 4x4 hatchback although i dont know if it originally came from it, needs tightened lol

 

Nice one, wish i had space for a spit!!! both lsd's will obviously work, but really the 2.0 xr4x4 ratio is much better for them than the 2.8/2.9 friend has the 2.9 one on his DOHC and it killed the performance a fair bit, great fun in the rain though You should get your self on the sierra owner club, loads of great stuff on there, all from 16v conversions through to 2.3 conversions etc, well worth a read.

You just need to find your self a turbo techincs conversion kit and your sorted

Keep up the good work, got a real soft spot for them.

Rob,

 

well the spit should be here next thursday, i didnt notice any real difference in power between the standard diff and the lsd, and the lsd is 7" compared to the standard 7.5", i did notice that i could drift in 3rd in the wet though, not easy for a efi lol.
i must take a look on it lad, and please tell me more about the 16v conversion lol, thats what ive been wanting to do

id have a cossy turbo before id bother setting up a turbo on mine lol

thanks lad, i love them

 

kieth done a few 16v conversions

he has a rs2000 16v up the back out of a escort mk6 he fitted to a sierra, in perfect condition lad

think thats what i might be doing to the 3 door aswell

 

Pretty straight forward mate, scorpio 2.0 16v head (cheap) bolts right on, buy yout self megasquirt or a scorpio ecu, mega squirt would be better. Some rs2000 cams and your away. With megasquirt and rs2000 cams with no cat i should think you would be knocking on the door of 160-170bhp big improvement over the standard 125. The 2.3 conversion is a little more involved, but is good for 180-190, and some decent torque!

Rob,

 

What moneys on it? I would be really interested in something lik this, i think the idea of a DOHC head with 8 valves is so stupid lol

 

fuck goin through that work man! put a yb in there haha

 

theres them softlines in armagh

http://pistonheads.com/sales/2398511.htm

 

im really liking the look of them rims lad, would need to see them on a white sierra before im sold though

 

aw lad there lefal lookin

get them bought

 

ill see about it lad, Ł300 would have the underside sorted id say lol

 

im really liking the idea of all this hi, you could be a very useful lad to me in the next few months lol, stick around lad

 

ok big update. as i said earlier i got the shell home, i then stripped the engine bay with only a few components left. well i finally took some pictures of it lol.
also my spit arrived earlier than expected and on time too :P it fitted perfect into the chassis but i have a few concerns about strength, we'll see about that later tonight. im hoping that there will be no nasty surprises when i turn it on its side

anyway heres some pics of the shell and the spit and progress up to last night








few pics of the spit





and one for your time

 

atleast yours was for the right car lol

good work lad

 

lol wel thats true lad :L

hopefully have her on her side tonight

 

fingers crossed u wont need another shell incase it falls lol
