This is all very exciting and interesting stuff. Me and a mate started doing a rear wheel drive mk3 escort estate (dont ask!!!) using sierra rear running gear! Sadly I had no time or space to finish it what with the mk2 escort project on the go aswell! Gives me the get up and go to do another one now seeing all this!

And i thought the cliff hangers were bad on Eastenders :oooh:

by **fordkaracing** on Wed May 10, 2006 12:23 pm

I just look at the pictures. Cant do that reading thing except if i ask a question!

If you need a rear R32 roll bar or Neuspeed, I now have them in stock.

Or any other TT bits you may need http://www.thettshop.com

If you do deceide to use the haldex, we keep the uprated one too.

Bear with me, I've got quite a few photo's to sift through and upload

02/05/2006

I want to tilt the engine as far back as possible to lower the centre of gravity, and to some extent aid weight distribution. To do this I needed some kind of adapter between engine and gearbox. Two options here: weld Ford gearbox bellhousing on to gearbox, or make an adapter. I selected the latter for ease of part replacement should a gearbox let go.

After measuring the engine bay to determine clearance, then playing around with the engine/box to determine how far the engine can be turned without fouling the drive shafts, I used a combination of the gearbox shim/gasket for a TT and the Focus equivalent, both of which I traced on to tracing paper. Careful measuring to find the exact centre meant I could lay them on top of each other, roate the correct number of degrees and then take a further tracing of the resultant shape:

Then the laborious task of measuring all of the points:

Transfer to cad:

Put on CD and take to one of my Dads freinds to get laser cut. Voila:

10mm thick and exact holes for the Ford and TT bellhousing pattern. 1 hole is shared and can be simply bolted straight through from 'box to engine.

I'm shure this guy Excursion is just a software from the net that generates the pictures shown in this thread. I say it's an urban myth

Mark you are insane, it looks like it will be an awesome car.

Congrats

That's a really nice piece of work Mark, I'm proud of you, best student I ever had

What degree of rotation could you push it to in the end? Sorry I haven't been in touch, no internet or phones for a week!! You could've come up for some crumpets and butterfly hunting at the weekend had I had comms up and running :cry:

by **Mikee_RS** on Wed Aug 23, 2006 3:16 pm

pull your finger out boy!

by **Excursion** on Wed Aug 23, 2006 3:52 pm

Sorry boys, I've not touched it since getting the engine etc test fitted. Can't be rodded at the moment, got a fun main car now so it's taken the edge off the Fiesta a bit.

It will get finished though asap, I'm not one to abandon something I start

by **mike_wall15** on Wed Aug 23, 2006 7:16 pm

What main car you got at the moment Marky?

Bo

by **Excursion** on Wed Aug 23, 2006 7:30 pm

E46 M3. It's got every option (19's, TV, widescreen nav, bluetooth etc)...so it's a big distraction. It starts, goes and stops with no issues. Ideal :lol:

by **Max M4X WW** on Wed Aug 23, 2006 7:31 pm

Do you think it sounds s**t?

by **Excursion** on Wed Aug 23, 2006 7:34 pm

I've only heard it from inside and it sounds awesome, don't care what it sounds like from outside tbh

Hopefully my next car! So jealous of you at the moment!!!

Glad you got the 19s with it, the 18s look more than 1inch smaller!! :oooh:

Enjoy it buster! :aviator:

Yeah totally, they look worse than MV2's! Didn't want one without all the stuff either as they're too close to a standard sport otherwise.
