SLEEMAN Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Pmsl painting eyes on your eye lids! Very clever! I'll keep that in mind! Â As for the car yeah I will try and crack on with it, just bought a drill so I can drill out the spot welds on bits and pieces I don't need like the original seat mounts as I'm going to get a couple of bars welded in for the race seat, and other bits and bobs not needed on the inside and the rear tow eye hook as I am going to bolt on a tow strap!

NielsF1 Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Great project to follow! I love the frontbumper and ITB's. Any updates on that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 they aren't they are from a Peugeot 406 coupe v6, the brackets were close but too close and looks like a lot of work. and the adaptors yes they are available but unsure if they do one for 300mm as I want to keep 16's Get some radial mounted calipers mate you can sit them right back then i got 300x28mm disc with a 6 pot caliper behind 15's this way on my trackday Escort Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Also what rack you using i put a manual on mine but the lock to lock was a joke almost 4 turns lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 Yeah I am looking for 4 pot calipers later on ill see how the mondeo ones hold up on. And the rack is just a normal manual one just brand new and it's about 4 turns lock to lock. But to be fair for track use you won't use that much turning on the wheel unless its a hair pin I would like to see about a quick rack but I'm seeing a conversion for electric power steering so that could help a bit lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SLEEMAN Posted September 15, 2013 Author Share Posted September 15, 2013 unless you can get the rack opened up and change the gearing in there?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOHNDQ Posted September 15, 2013 Share Posted September 15, 2013 Ive got the gear to split the rack but no one really knows if the bits will fit, it comes with the "rack and pinion" parts so everything inside will be new... If it works of course, be 2.4 lock to lock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
