I'm starting on the main hoop for the rollcage next weekend
I've been given a link to the WA regs so a bolt-in 1/2 cage is road legal. First event hopefully will be the kwinana sprint.
It was my first event this last weekend. It was called a Superkhana with you starting in a coned garage, doing a reasonably high speed run (just got to use third at the end of the straight), and having to come to a complete stop in a finish garage. We got four runs at the same track.
The escorts were represented by 3 Mk1s
The track soon revealed the short comings in my donor "standard" Mk2 suspension
While I had "tuned" my webers round my local streets, the lack of high load testing revealed a very lean mix under sustained rev’s/load with my poor little engine det’ing badly along the straights
The final results have not yet been published, but I believe I got the fastest escort lap time, but due sliding through the stop garage on my 3rd run I doubt i'll do very well on aggregate
Dam i missed it i only live 5 mins away and dam i wanted have my car ready for that event!
Paul at least you now have a bench mark to work from. I have all these things i want to do to my car but i want to wait to seen how she goes standard first so that i can see any improvements!
So after many sleepless nights I have finally got the car back on the road. The Hilux diff and nissan calipers are all sorted, and I got the nissan handbrake cables working with the escort handbrake successfully.
On the front I have copied the bmw/mazda conversion:
The boot is organised with all the emergency spares:
Two issues:
1) The starter motor wire fell off and I stalled in the garage at end of SS2 and couldn't start the car so got pushed out
2) Shredded the standard gearbox mount so we ran the second half of the event with gearbox ratchet strapped to the crossmember
Hopefully i'll have some results and better action photos tomorrow!
(The alloys were loaners but I might try to buy them - everyone liked them!)
Last Sunday I entered another 1 day classic rally, unfortunately same result as last time with a second place in the 2ltr class (beat by a Fiat 131 Abarth).
On the positive side we were the fastest of the 5 escorts entered, and we had 2 stage wins (in class).
One stage used a stretch of the kwinana drag strip and I saw 7800rpm in 4th gear (with 4.8:1 diff) prior to having to brake hard and dive right onto the access road.
With the new front and rear springs the car is finally handling pretty well; I now have a slight issue with the Hilux diff flange touching the floor under full acceleration so I'll have a play with changing the diff angle prior to the next event.
I Definately need new engine for next year to catch that pesky fiat; and to all those people who told me the hilux LSD was rubbish - you were right!
