JackStar Posted September 4, 2011 Share Posted September 4, 2011 Look at what i picked up yesterday, my glanza had gone pop 1 to many times and ive lost intrest in it now, so i went to collect a few parts from my lock up and there it is sitting in the corner of his workshop, well to cut a long story short i brought it lol.It needs a fair bit of welding to get it through an mot, and the gearbox is whining, but in the places that arent rusty they look as if its never been touched.

JackStar Posted September 18, 2011 Author Share Posted September 18, 2011 need to get some time off work to get the welding/rust sorted.Just picked up a 2.0 pinto and gearbox for it (might not be to everyones taste lol)need to think of a colour to paint it, i like the idea of red but i keep changing my mind.The arches dont fit very well, the cars arches dont curve as much as the fiberglass arches do Thanks for the comments Jack Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 Just need some 45DCOE / DHLA's and the Pinto starts to make sense! I miss my brother's RS2000... If you build it all up with a drivetrain for a pinto you can always swap it for a Cossie YBT or n/a Cossie head swap later on! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bean Posted September 19, 2011 Share Posted September 19, 2011 do you do a brake kit to fit the toyota running gear on the kp's Keri? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted September 20, 2011 Share Posted September 20, 2011 do you do a brake kit to fit the toyota running gear on the kp's Keri?I expect a version of one of the existing Toyota/WMS kits will fit - just need to borrow a hub to confirm it and firm up the specs, and get brake lines sorted/fit checked etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Have you RWD lads seen this?!!!! http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/220863832182Not mine but I wish it was - 'busa powered KP60 on banded steels! The forum won't let me put photos here due to eBay's active img links, worth saving though? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 Not really into Fords so probably a silly question to some people - but why is the Pinto engine so popular? What sort of power to they put out? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 It's been kicking around for years, so there's a lot of tuning parts available (from the UK).But it's a old beastie now - 90-110bhp in standard trim (Transit to Escort RS2000 spec), and roughly 165bhp fast road, 180bhp rally/trackday spec 2.1 and allegadly over 200bhp for 2.2/2.3/2.4 overbored break the bank full-race jobs.

ste91 Posted October 1, 2011 Share Posted October 1, 2011 So in standard form pretty shit, but can easily be tuned thanks to availability of parts and I'm guessing reasonably cheap, RWD, and a good base engine for any typical 70s-80's RWD family sized or hatchback car?

JackStar Posted October 1, 2011 Author Share Posted October 1, 2011 plus there really cheap and as are the parts for them.keri where are you based? i will be after some brake for it, so i could maybe pop up and see what will fit, when its road legal that is lol Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Keri-WMS Posted October 8, 2011 Share Posted October 8, 2011 keri where are you based? i will be after some brake for it, so i could maybe pop up and see what will fit, when its road legal that is lolI'm in sunny Hastings/Bexhill! I'm hoping to borrow a hub off Bean so we might get something sorted before that - fingers crossed. Be good to have a straight-fit upgrade for the standard KP strut!
