Next question is what size wheels are you going to use????? The bigger and wider the disc the better. I'm limited to 15" wheels for my class and am using approx 290mm rotors. Most of the early model IPRA cars are using 15" wheels due to being limited to 50 series tyres. Most of the them fi...

You have to do a lot of work to make the rearend work properly with that type of HP in IPRA............. Distance between the rail and axle tube is the main drama, whilst trying bring the ride height down and keep some form of suspension travel. It looks like its a better car to restore than turn in...

What are using the car for???????? There should be plenty of options here. From memory early commodore discs and caliper bolt up? Don't quote me on this, I havent been down this route the conversion myself. We have used GTR disc's and calipers on the front of my tarmac rally car (LC coupe) and S3 RX...

Why not use an electric power steering pump off an astra, porsche, mazda 3 etc......... A lot of the old blokes in datsun rally cars are using suzuki steering columns where the electric motor is fitted to the column from the factory. See link below........ http://www.bmsc.com.au/forums/rallying-tech...

Cut down Escort front spoiler. We used to use one on my IPRA LA Lancer.......

I have pictures but its to much of a head f*&k to post them up on here.

Front doors are interchangeable between LA and LB sedans.

Rear doors are NOT interchangeable! As LB sedan has different shaped rear wheel wells to LA sedan. They will bolt on but will not close.

There are 2 small Starion LSD's for sale on austarion atm........ Might be a bit out of your price range though.

I had a bit of a look around yesterday morning.............. Can't say I was overly impressed with show itself. The cars weren't spaced or set out very well, considering the amount of room they had to play with. There will be a lot of cars getting scuff marks, etc... detailed of them today with how ...

Mate I have a set of brand new unused 50mm lowered king springs and a set of s/h 3inch blocks for the 86-96 model 2wd Tritions. I never got around yo installing them in my last Triton before I sold it.

There yours for $175.00 if your interested.

PM me for more details.

Around the 875kg from memory. Not enough to legally fit a 2.6 in NSW

Search button is your friend, for exact weights........

.....and the steering box is going to get in the way of your headers as well.

We never had any issue when we were running my LA at Clubcars/IPRA level 15 years ago. From memory........... We used the longer sigma control arms and standard LA lancer steering arms, as the sigma ones were longer than the Lancer ones. Alignment wise was -4 neg camber and +4 pos castor. These days...

Its a fairly common swap, along with L300 manifold, on starions.

Hey Matt,

Got a wilwood lever type one here, with fittings, that is surplus to my needs. Come and get it.

Cheers,
Andrew

I can feel a group buy coming on............

Tefba in Silverdale NSW will have them...........

I'll be doing one in the next 6 months, but haven't really looked at it in details. Other parts of the car to sort out first.

Quaife do quick rack conversions for ke70/ae86 and escort racks. They will probably be a good starting point at about 2.5 tltl.

So, using some contacts through contacts I got hold of a bloke that does engineering ad fabrication jobs for race cars. In his workshop he had an 80's Porsche 911 that looked like it was being preped for tarmac rallies, a Ford GT40 replica that was completely in bits and not one but TWO Nobles! Tha...

Galant and Sigma strut tops are the same as early Commodore.

One hole has to be drilled in the strut tower to convert Lancer to the Commodore strut top bolt pattern.

Saves a lot of f&^king around.

Yeah the red one is a dedicated rally car.......... Coltspeed built 2.6lt, twin 45's, small 5 speed, with a rav4 Lsd mod'd to go into the standard housing by award diffs.

Strut tops are the same as sigma, which is the same as early commodore. Caltrac's are modern day tramp rods. They stop the S motion of the leaf spring between the front spring mount and diff spring mount when under load. Panhard rod will put a small side load on the spring pack, as it moves in an ar...

I used to run in my old IPRA LA and a pair of upper links running rearwards......... Correct, big difference (H) I'm just having the same done to my LC tarmac rally car that i'm building atm...... (H) (H) Matt, You own a Galant and Lancer! I'm guessing you haven't much of a look at both front ends??...

I would suggest adding a panhard rod instead of a watts link in the rear. A watts link will bind up when used with leaf springs. Front end has been covered else where......... but I would suggest swapping the controls arms L to R and vice versa for a bit of extra castor ( you'll neeed to trim the gu...

PM Slimer, he has one in an LA lancer..........

I also have a set crossmembers for the 13B into LA conversion, But I doubt they'll fit the Galant as the suspension mounting points for the cross members are different.

Why do you need the boot seal on a race car?

No they don't exist..........

But if you start looking around the speedways you'll find what your looking for. A lot of people used to run them in speedway cars and you'll find some answers on how to do it.

Duratec's are a good thing........We run a 2.0l XR4 Fiesta and it makes about 100kw atw with light intake and exhaust mods. Lots of cams etc..... available Standard intake manifold is only good for 200BHP, then you have to convert to quads or Cosworth intake manifold. Check out Cosworth and Burton's...

Good to here all is progressing well. The 24 spline axles should be fine for the small motor, but use the 26(S3 RX7) or 28 spline (13B RX4) for 2lt or above. 26 spline will also give you the correct stud pattern 4x114.3 and only came out in the series 3 RX7 ('84/'85). The only drama is at 1420mm wid...

Hey Dan,

Hows our old white LA 2 door rallycar doing? I'm guessing thats it sitting under the cover????

Cheers Andrew

Noisey????????????? More like harsh. I've always run rose jointed control arms and castor bars, where the rules permit. (MMMM..... slicks and rose joints for max G's!) For the street, winding the castors all the way forward and a good set of poly bushes is plenty. It you want to do it on the cheap, ...
