Before, you are seeing floor jacdk but that is not lifting car in the air.

You'll come down some Leo. You've seen mine, and it's sitting low on the FRPP springs. I'm 2.75" lower in the front when I compare it to my Mother in Law's stock 05.
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 02-26-2012
not a lot though, wheel arch is way larger than stock fender, it is way different.
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 02-28-2012
there is 1 problem with toe out.
possible cause is..
1. camber plate on coilovers, setting is wrong.
2. too much negative camber setting on lower control arm.
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 02-28-2012

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - hardk0re - 02-28-2012
I put the rp in my old mtx it was good stuff .
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - 05blackzx5 - 02-28-2012
i went from rp to amsoil. it made shifting in cold weather is so much smoother
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 02-28-2012
i always had cold weather shifting problem with my old atf fluid ford originally put in.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - hardk0re - 03-03-2012
As long as it works your going to clean it up anyway
I'm sure i'm not the first to say this, I think your neighbors think your nuts....as they see you roll your engine on engine stand down the hallway to your appartment
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - konafocuswrc - 03-03-2012
i made sure to cover it up and nobody has seen me. lol
at least i m not putting this in bathtub, i m good.

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - engine - konafocuswrc - 03-06-2012

RE: wrc rally replica build thread - which colour? - stupica1 - 03-06-2012
where in the world do you get those coolant overflow tanks??? I hate the look of the stock ones
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - which colour? - hardk0re - 03-06-2012
I like the last one blue cover, blue charge tubing. Reason I don't like white is it will get a little too dirty I think, the blue looks nice as long as it is a deep blue like in the photo.
Personally if it were me, I would rather a polished escort valve cover) and then black charge tubing and black hoses.
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - which colour? - stupica1 - 03-07-2012
I second the escort valve cover! haha and also second that white will get dirty quick unless you maintain it constantly. I personally like the white valve with the blue charge tube. The white makes the valve cover stand out more.
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - which colour? - Flofocus - 03-07-2012
love the white but that will be a bitch to keep clean.

i bought it at least 7 years ago. if you can find one, expect to pay lots $$$. wasn't cheap.
i might go with white one.
too late to colour change spark plug wires and coolant hoses.
i already bought them.
does anybody know where i can get powdercoated?
i also need to look for escort valve cover..i saw the white one on ebay but not cheap.
RE: wrc rally replica build thread - which colour? - Mystake - 03-07-2012
Hope you didn't overpay for that engine!
Can't wait to see it painted. I'd go all blue but that's just me.
I'd heard that the Ford tranny fluid was best too... can't say for sure though I've got 163k on my tranny and in ice cold weather it spits out gears.
