You make it sound so easy lol but your right.

Cheers mate won't be quite as well built as yours though :)
[QUOTE=theflyingbrick;530910]you know my views on this :nutkick:[/QUOTE]

Anyway you'll be more than welcome to take it for spin when its finished mate.

Nice project but I would redblock it a lot easier too .but I would say that lol

I did think about it but T5's are everywhere and i do like the 5 pot sound :)
Post 530980 by leet5r on 2012-08-17 00:24:47
got my vote , proper cool this , smithy a yb would be the easyest route as they camewith them in anyways , or a 24v boa but i likes the sound of a 5pot in a saph , theres a mk1 sierra with a turbo m50 bmw engine in somewhere on youtube .
Post 530990 by smithy on 2012-08-17 01:08:21
I agree the ford engine would easier but if you wanted to use a Volvo engine that's all I'm saying

Went out to fit my smoked rear lights today kindly given to me by my slightly jealous mate 'TheFlyingBrick'...
Looks nice however when i went to do the right hand one i discovered that i had 2 left lights and no right one lol
They've been sitting in my front room for ages and i never checked now ... oh well ebay to the rescue :)
Post 531102 by theflyingbrick on 2012-08-17 19:33:04

it won't matter if you find the other set because they are both right hand side...........................only you could buy 1 set of left hand lights and 1 set of right hand lights..................thought you were more intelligent than that lee......................

Nothing too exciting finally got round to removing the rest of the engine and the gearbox.
And someone's been kind enough to cave the drivers window in :(
Not too much of an issue as i was planning to replace them all with polycarbonate

'For no real reason other than I felt like it at the time I decided to remove the rear door handles and fill them.
Which resulted in my neighbours cars getting dusty... oops!
However I'm not sure I like the filled look so may replace the doors for ones with handles again'
BRILLIANT! :slap: Maybe the best I'll hear for 2013....and it's only just begun :B_thumb:
....can't you just dig/drill/dremel the filler out?....or even sand it out and cover the neighbours cars in an inch of dust :lol:
Cool project though... a COS70R !

any updates regards the PM sent on the cvh sump thanks,
and on another note if you have the rear diff from an xr4i it will take power better and found good supplier for cv joints and bearings for the 100mm cv's, put maybe with T5 power you might opt for the 108mm cossie or granada cv's as these diffs are only meant to take up to around 180bhp so might blow a few in anger

Post 561670 by streaky744 on 2013-01-12 00:56:39
sorry not make myself clear, yes diff is okay mean't the shafts. 1.8 shafts are push fit into the diff and won't handle power of a 230 bhp motor for long. xr4 diff or cossie will handle power but i would go for the larger 108mm cv's from mk3 granada to help the cause is what i mean't. but the 100mm from the 7.5 diff should do the job also
Post 561744 by Dave86 on 2013-01-12 12:44:59
Will have a look at diff options soon need to look more into the diff ratios too.
Cheers for the advice streaky
