Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

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

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

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

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

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.

Big leap forward...looking like a zakspead now....im trying to find the 235s as well for my fronts....looks a nice tyre...are you using gaz shocks on the rear i cant remember...almost there cheers mark

Re: Matt's Mk 2 Grp 2 Zakspeed Replica

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?

Slowly ..been grinding down welds ..make it look pretty..(which i hate doing)...my daily driver has been a pain...had to get an obd2 reader to find the fault..but the obd2 driver didnt work, so had to download another...as always seems 1 step forward 2 steps back...
But ill get there ...nice to see someone else progress..gives us all hope...
cheers mark
