Hey Brocky. SO the CA conversion has started. How did the mounting go??
Any mods to the tunnel required??

[brocky41]

hey dude, yea no tunnel mods as yet only looks like shifter 2-3 inches further back. will need to move the handbrake same distance back, havent even scolloped cross member ( may not have to ). the 120y's must be bigger in that area.
using original engine mount on the engine side just brought ford cortina 70mm round by 35mm urethane mounts to bolt to that just need to make up some mounts like yours to move mounting off crossmember forward about 30mm from standard.
gearbox crossmember will be bit of a mish but thats engine conversions.
the boss knows welding - would we be best to mig or arc mounts up.

Love the car! got a 120y myself but not quite that amazing condition! You have inspired me haha, what are the mags? they look mean..might need to invest in some

[brocky41]

Hey thanx for the feedback, you cant buy these wheels anymore, they are a Protech 15x6.5 with 195/50/15 Yoko's. they also came in 17x7's i brought them back in 06'. However i found that there are actually alot more options out there by fitting spacers etc. most mag places don't bother ( most told me all i could have were mini lights or roh zs's ) but i'm a fussy cunt and wanted something different. I now work at Goodyear in Hastings ( only place that would help me! ) so if you ever wanna look into it just pm me or give me a call or text and we can have a look and see whats out there.
Currently cutting out where the old radiator went so can fit in new silvia one.

[Garth]

Haha cheers, if I ever get enough money for some new mags ill come straight to you . Good luck with the radiator

[Dattochriswagon]
