Been looking on ebay for those s13 tie rods seems like a good idea as my 3" exhaust is a bit tight. Ive also been looking at front Valance mods as my rad sticks out of the bottom thinking of a capri type spoiler but its a difficult choice.

Cheers Guys! Yea the build id progressing, ill get some pics up when I get a minute! Struggling to find some brake discs at the moment, need a specific set from a renault 21 (right offset and size) but the only ones I can find are dam expensive!! Been looking on ebay for those s13 tie rods seems like a good idea as my 3" exhaust is a bit tight. Ive also been looking at front Valance mods as my rad sticks out of the bottom thinking of a capri type spoiler but its a difficult choice. Costina - a capri spoiler would be cool, don't think ive ever seen one on a cortina, better try it out! How is your brake setup done? are the discs in the same place as originally or on the wheel side of the hub? |

Brake set up is the disc is over the hub like a modern car so you can use many disc sizes depending on wheel size and offset.
283mm x 24 sierra cosworth
300mm x 24 focus st170
300mm will just go under 15"s so u will have to look.
if you need pics give us a few days and I will take some.
Regards
Paul

Ah cool, yea I cant really do that cos it will increase the wheel track too much so the wheels wont fit in the arches! have that problem on the rear hence why I don't have rear discs yet!

Shame its only 10mm overall but I can see your prob.
the way ive done the rears is a 8mm mounting plate between half shaft retaining flange and axle with a 5mm spacer inside the axle tube. which increases rear track by 20mm overall inc discs.
I also use a 25mm master cylinder from a RS turbo and a sierra servo modded to fit Cortina brackets.

Chris, don't want to clutter your thread just a few pics to show that I'm not full of s**t lol.
Very impressed with your ideas and skills and if you don't mind a few of your mods will end up on mine.

Looks awesome mate!! Happy to have good pics like that in the thread! I have a few more ideas but its taking a bit longer to get organised so will probably be done next year! its going to be awesome and a first though so worth the effort!
How does it handle that much power? I should get 300 ish with the supercharger so interested to see what it does!
