They're not the correct et for the car if thats what you mean but they fit under the rear arches so winner winner chicken dinner!

More updates..... Turned the fuel tank round and fitted a swirl pot, this required some bodgery cause i couldn't be bothered to weld..... [/URL] Also fitted a pan hard rod cause the basic design doesn't cut it for going sideways well! axle steer is not fun! [/URL] Started polishing the car too, don't quite know why but it passes the time [/URL] Will be at buxton on the 11th, can't wait it's been a while since the last one!
Me and you need wee chat i have 86 capri and nice wee sr 20 sitting like to know the problems you ran into with this project so I can avoid them it would make my life a lot easier thanks
Well it's been a while but ill be back with many updates on this project. Involving lots of japanese goodness and a little bit of sweedens finest! Stay tuned!
+1 for updates? Love the old school ford blue colour, great use of the Quality Street and cable ties for an exhaust hanger you and retro ed with his Escort twinning would be an awesome sight.
Afternoon! I have been busy finishing the car again and will put together many pictures of whats gone on this year for you lot to rate! hopefully this evening. sorry for the poor thread posting, on a side note is there an easier way to link photos rather than photobucket? Thanks and happy skids
Right I'm back, sort of. At the beginning of the year i decided to pull the car apart and make it a proper drift car! I had been collecting parts for some time and decided to S-Body swap the running gear, Not a floor pan swap just graft the mounting points in and use the best bits of both cars. The car now had all the best goodies so ill do a quick spec and let the pics show the rest . S14 subframe adjustable arms all poly bushed, shimmed 3.9 diff with s14 brakes and handbrake set up. HSD mono pro s13 coilovers all round. Front is DW LCAs and kinked tension rods on a R33 Xmember with R33 rack converted to manual steering. S14 modded knuckles, Tein steering arms and rod ends. S14 front brakes. R32 single piece propshaft. Still a straight cam SR20DET with a new headgasket and water pump. The car now drives incredibly and wears Rota GTR-D wheels (i think) Tell me what you guys think!
Very very cool, nice work getting the s body running gear in and it not being a floorpan swap. Class work
Thanks guys! was a frantic 5 months to get out for summer! Here's a little video of the first drift outing, getting used to the car again! https://www.facebook.com/sam.utley/videos/10157688303420635/
