My 15 minutes of fame: Got my car in R&C

I wouldn't call it luck. I just read it myself. It sounds like you worked to get your recognition, ...... and someone felt you DESERVED it. I happen to agree with them.

Congratulations Sir.

 

Nice Rex, I guess your too famous to come to my BBQ now ???

 

Rockey,
Really planned to be at the BBQ but looked at the weather and just couldn't get my *** in gear. Steve said it was great so I screwed up again!

Still want to do the cage in your Nash B'ville car

Atta boy Rex, very nice pix of the modified in the mag. Keep on keepin on man, they are never done. ~Sololobo~

 

Congrats on the feature, it definitely caught my eye because I'm planning on running a Zetec/T5 combo as well. (But I've got dual sidedrafts for mine) Did you use the Quad4Rods bell housing or come up with something on your own to mate them together?

 

NICE!!! Real Nice! Good for you.

 

Jax2A,
I think that I may have gotten the very first bellhousing that John made, it needed to have a couple of holes redone to fit my application but it has been perfect since then. Quad4Rods suggests that you use an internal hydraulic cylinder for the throwout bearing but I used the pivot bolt and the arm from a 2.3 engine and cut a hole in the side of the bellhousing and used an external cylinder for the clutch actuation, never have had a problem with it. My engine was a standard shift so it had a flywheel so I use the stock Ford pressure plate and a Centerforce disc that has the spline for the T5. Because my car is so light I am planning to try a 8.5 lb flywheel which is a lot less than the 24 pounder that is on it now. Quad4Rods has a conversion for the ignition that eliminates the need for the Ford electronics. Since my car has electronic fuel injection the ECU I am using does the ignition also.

Congrats! That's a cool little ride.
You ever check to see what kind of milage that bangers giving you?

 

Congratulations! Even though it was on the last page, I kept skipping ahead to look at all the pics all over again. That's one of those cars I want to get in and see how fast it will go - it looks like it's a LOT of fun! Nice job.

 

Cool ride. I thought that when I saw it at Bonneville a couple of years ago.
