You guys can't get reciprocating saws (sometimes called a sawsall) in England? When I lived there I don't think I ever saw one. They're awesome tackle, cut nice and use metal or wood saw blades. Perfect for making brackets and whatnot. Here's what I'm talking about: www.dewalt.com/tools/saws-reciprocating-saws-dw304pk.aspx-Steve

Sweet! For a 4 banger, the sensor has to be at 90 degrees BTDC relative to the missing tooth. It'll all come down to how you can mount the sensor to the motor in a position so it's about 1mm from the wheel. The sensor conveniently has two bolt holes you'll be able to use easily along with a could bits of aluminum angle so it's adjustable. Once you decide on that you can attach the toothed wheel. One option to consider may be to bolt it to the pulley by drilling and tapping the pulley or wheel. The wheel is made of weird stuff and there has been mixed results welding it. Ask me how I know? ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Alternatively diyautotune also sells wheels that are made of actual real steel and can be welded. www.diyautotune.com-Steve

Bitching ... nice work, mate. That combo cries, nay screams, megasquirt to me. You *could* also do away with the dizzy and roll with Ford EDIS ignition components on the megasquirt ... just saying while you're building FrankenEngine... ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) -Steve

You're no help, Ben, particularly having seen your build thread. I'd totally knock off your bumper ideas.

Nice. Watch for (a lack of) suspension travel and hitting the bumpstops in the rear with coilovers. A trick is to modify the rear shock upper mount (the sorta doodad that holds the top of the spring on) to let the shock body move upwards more. I bought some for mine and I'll upload pics if you want.

From Aug 1985 -to Mar 1987. C and D reg only.Seen about 10 - but that was way back when they were new though Can't even find pic of one- anyone? Mine 4/5 door was a D reg. Got nicked by some yobs who got their hands on a red one that had been in a wreck and swapped the plates then sold it on. Anyway, the old bill caught them when the poor geezer they sold it to took it into the same garage that had had the red one in. -Steve

Looked but didn't find any tires in that size. Sumitomo is about all you can get in 13" for wider wheels. The HTR200 in 185/60R13 are available for $46 each from tirerack.com.
