    Picked up an alloy dash backing for the Stack Dash. I may paint it though with some crinkly paint as it's a bit shiny...

    Been a slow month or so but still getting the other things sorted

    Rear hilux axle is now sorted. I had a mate make up some brackets for the Skyline calipers and we used supra rear rotors.

    All sorted and looks great

    Cheers

    Hi matt the axle of a mits /shogun...needs massive lightning..but perfect width for me come standard limited slip//unbreakable shafts /disk braked...got to convert it to 5 stud but it will fit my wheels..

    Its just a pinto...with a twist...i built the head with down draught ports. 8 injectors....variable velocity stacks...46mm throttle bodies(bike) ..46mm and 37mm valves...

    the bottom end is waiting for pistons to be made...i had the rods made long stroke 5.73" but i also stroked the crank...this means the pistons will be only 21mm above pin (prob only room for 2 rings)...there is a build thread on here if you have a week to spare reading it..ill find the link and post it up...cheers mark

    Hey Man, how could i forget your epic engine build. Apologies. My Pinto is due to be dyno'd in a few weeks now and should see high 180's or hopefully low 190's on 48 DHLA Dellortos.

    that will be plenty of power..and hopefully reliable...your running quite a high diff(from memery) so you will have awesome acceleration through the gears...

    what cam did you chose ?

    Yeah, the guy building oy does race pintos so hes known for reliability.

    The cam is a custom grind but similsr tona Wade 520x .490" valve lift and 311deg inlet and 310 deg exhaust and is around 254@50.

    Yeah, the diff is a 5.3 which is ridiculous dk I'll get it rebuilt to 4.4 or thereabouts

    Cheers

    Sorry for the lack of updates. Progress has been made though

    Engine is finished and will be on an engine dyno next weekend. Hoping to see high 180's and maybe low 190 hp but we'll see. It'll be mated to a W58 Supra gearbox.

    Few pics

    Have started the dry build now. Front and rear suspension is in and finally test fitted the new Braid wheels. They look amazing and I was very relieved they didn't foul anything and the large Brembos with 305mm rotors didn't hit anything too. We ended up throwing some old 225 A050's on and they look great on the 9" fronts. Toyo do a 235 in a 15" so I think I've finally found some RSpec tyres to run that aren't crazy $$.

    Anyway here's the pics

    We obviously haven't done the alignment and the wheel sits far too much forward but thereis plenty of room around it once we trim the front valance

    Onto the rear. I had bought a hilux diff that was in a mk2 escort that had been 6 linked soI weas expecting to have to make the brakets to sit it on the escort leaf springs but had a massive win as we found this had been done already.

    Here it is installed with the new brake brackets and rotors from Supra MA70 that have been machined and redrilled.

    Toyo do the R888 and R888r in a 235/50 R15. The tyres in the pic are knackered Yokohama A050's just for setting up

    I've got Bilsteins on the rear and the Gaz Golds upfront

    Once it's dry built we'll pull it apart and ten blast it then the paint can start so still a long way to go

    How's yours coming along Mark?
