yea going to ,i might use a Honda civic radiator or bg radiator. i hopefully cools it fine.


um should i be worried sense i only have like 5mm between the chassis rail and the crank pulley
maybe i shouldn't have used all bf mounts haha.

also i think Ive found a axle thats the right length that fits fine in a kf gearbox in a bf
and is off another car

[Turpro]

What axle are you thinking?

um been talking to Neil aka Evilist and he told me where he got his axle from .Its a place up in Auckland and they found him a axle the length he wanted for his fe3 ,but they didn't know what the axle was off.
so will ring them up soon to see if they can find another one and will get the model of car its off,so theres a axle out there thats the right length

also Honda Accord 1.8 89 and Honda Prelude 96 onwards have the right spline count just haven't found the lengths of these axles yet

mines the same. just keep your mounts tight and you will have no issues.

sweet will make sure they are really tight

anyway decided to use a bg radiator ,got hoses connected up after cutting up about 5 to get all the right angles i need haha.

im going to mount two fans on the front of the radiator so should be all sweet for temp





and 2.25 inch exhaust is nearly all finished just got one bracket to weld on for the hanger


only probably so far is the power steering pump the pulley hits the chassis rails, so no powersteering for me.
so Ive got to some how make a bracket with a bearing to keep the belt tight now

[michael0008]

just a idea how close **** is





a little bigger

why do you guys use the bg springs and shocks, when all you have to do is slot the hole a mm on the bf shock?


looks like i will get heaps of negative camber from how the hub is bolted on


also how you guys keep the belt tight when you remove powersteering?

I found that the ford aspire (94 and newer Festiva) or KIA AVELLA AC Idler pulley is a 4 rib pulley. I replaced that with the smooth tensioner and wrapped the belt around it and used the same tensioner system. With a shorter belt. Never did get the correct belt length sorted before I had to get rid of the car.

sweet cheers heaps being trying for awhile to work out a pulley that would work
now the fun begins of finding a ford aspire 94+

I have a pulley that I bought brand new, might cost a bit to ship but if you want it you can have it for the cost of shipping and I'll throw in the belt I was going to use too. Should fit in a padded envelope well.

I'll snap a pic. you may need a bushing to center it but you could probably fit a piece of hose over the stud.

thats fine im in no rush, still got axles to sort haha

[michael0008]

5 stud done on right side and axles in
car looks a crap load better with 16' wheels
camber is all right ,just wheels sit out a bit haha offset is +25








cv boot doesn't look too squash from the axle length
