this watts link its improvement, shame to left it because of exhaust.

No, I don´t like side pipe either.

[S.K.]

Exhaustpipe needs 1 holder, so it´s almoust ready and fits with Watt-link.

First there is 140cm straight pipe and then two curves with 30 dergees angle and then one curve with 60 dergees angle and then silencer.





I also moved radiator about 8cm backward and made aluminiumplates around it, still need a fan (not so big problem)

DAMN!

VERY nice project... VERY clean too! Wonderful work! I do not say this very often..... I'm VERY impressed! ... and I give these out less often then verbal praise!

i luv this project, but i have a few questions??

-how come u decided to go over diff rather then underdiff???

-u use a wats linkages but how come no equal length rose jointed arms???

[mrgud]

man I almost when I saw this...

MASSIVE RESPECT!!!!

[broken_tofu]

This makes me feel I am doing my project all wrong. If only i had the dedication to completely strip the car, paint it, and do everything like a complete restoration. But alas i dont have a garage like that nor a chassis stand.

If I put it go under the diff, I still have to lift it up to near bottom. So it was better to put it to go over. Rear of the car must be enough space, that nothing (except the bumper) hit anything IF I slipped it.



Do you mean those what goes cross the diff? They don´t need to be equal lenght. Take a look of this ( http://web.mat.bham.ac.uk/C.J.Sangwin/Te...nkage.html )

I changed the rear arches to Escort MK3...







...put a Nissan Cherry fan (from N10) and oilcooler...


...make my own driveshaft (still waiting new one)...



...put an oxygensensor...

I´m going to use FMI 1.2 A/F ratio meter


...mount a antiroll bar to front...



...and find some fine rims to racingtires





Maybe this weekend I get it painted, I have first race on next sunday (18.2.)

Nice going!
Are those mk3 escort flares much bigger? From the pics they appear to be just as big.

No, they are about same size as original (reason why I use those). If you want bigger, buy VW Golf (Mk1?) flares (Hopi has those on his car).

I didn´t paint it, but I drive some test today , I LIKE IT .

Some more pics:

Oil catch tank (who guess from what it was before?)


New safety harness (6-point, 3inch Willans), still need to change the seat


Dash with FMI 1.2


A problem (I will change the hood to glassfibre one)


A door hinge (thaks to Kris )


Flare


This how it looks now

:whistle: Damn, that looks very reliable....
Quite like the seemingly hovering pans on the WattsLinkage pic as well =D
