this brings a new meaning to retro, that is awesome

mancs · 17-03-2009, 23:57

^ Haha yes. I love oldschool cars. Like Datsun 510, AE86, well of course this isnt in the same league

Cheshire190e: Yeah, we are quite excited about the twincams power! It should be enough in this light chassis. Well we hope for the best!

Thanks guys, I will update regularly!

jankis86 · 19-03-2009, 16:54

Nice work mancs

im looking forward to your project

keep it up

mancs · 19-03-2009, 19:54

Thanks guys!

Here is a little clip from the last practise, back from 2008:

Mancs and Zola @ TÃ¶kÃ¶l Drift practise- Video

As you can see, we definitly need more steering angle! Plus my car was very unpredictable on the limit, I hope that lowering the rear, and the swaybar will help this problem. Next time, I will test it

Cheers

well, the doors, as i remember were aluminium, but i don't think that it was the original, cause the transmission tunnel was a bit smaller than VFTS's...think one of my friends still has it somewhere

will get some pics soon if you want

old pre skool drifting love it!

mancs · 06-04-2009, 20:08

Thanks guys

Especially for you Wuki

Nice to see you around here!

Btw, started manifacturing some parts. We are making a tilton pedal set replica:

Well of course its not going to be as light as the original tilton, but we will try to do the best we can. And of course its going to cost half the price so...

We decided to do this for many reasons, firstly, Im trying to set up my brakes, and suspension, that it could be easily moved into another car, even another make of car. Secondly, well, its just stunning to look at isnt it?

Oh and I need the space in the engine room.

Than I got a sierra steering rack from Leslie who is the builder of most (if not all) of the ford drifting cars here in Hungary. Like this one. The racks ratio is 2.6:1, its the power steering version, but Im not going to use the oil PS, instead im going to loop the oil in it, and use my trusty old EPS with a 2:1 steering reducer, that is 1.3:1 steering ratio

Not sure about the 2:1 reducer yet, we will try it first, but I want to make the car very snappy, so I think it will be needed.

Well thats all for now, cheers!

Leslie DG · 06-04-2009, 20:44

Mancs, i fall in love with the tilton replica!

gotta call U up tomorrow

hi there Wuki San! strange username

mancs · 06-04-2009, 20:55

Its not the actuall "product" sadly

But its going to be very similar I hope

. Only the base will be different. Becouse on the tilton it is aluminium, and it is made by casting, witch will be quite expensive

Although the pedals, and the alignment of the pedals will be exactly the same, there will be balance bar as well, Im really looking forward to see it done

Leslie DG · 06-04-2009, 21:01

i realized, its not the actual thing, dont mess with me, no more ford parts for free

mancs · 06-04-2009, 21:07

Hehe

I'v got plans for my new distributor free ignition as well, also with Ford parts

EDIS

Zotya showed me a site where I can buy programable ecu, so it looks like more and more ford parts will arrive in the car...
