Feral Errol: 1200 diff

[KFZ]

Feral Errol,

If I remember right, it is a cortina diff not a falcon, as it has mounts on the top of it. A GM diff was not used as the ford has a wider ratio selection.

The axles were shorterned and heat treated (at a cost of $400 each!, now cost $75)

If I was to do it again, I would fit disc to it first up as now I have to convert it with the new engine.

I had a look at you web site today (IT WORKED!). I will be in touch by phone about some bits eg flywheel, clutch and maybe a computer.(I have had a good look at the wolf 3D set up and at this stage its wins).

The club car seen up here is not too bad. We get a turn up of around 10-15 cars each meeting but a lot are chook cookers. I have the only 1200 just to be different. 1600's, 180B's, a mitsasomething, Alfa and a couple of dunny doors front up also.

The Mazda mostly run webers, the dunny doors are EFI and carby, the 180b's are weber L18/L20B and so are the 1600's except for a FJ20 with webers.

I get around the track in 1.30.03 sec. A V8 super car does it in 1.09 sec. The quickest under 2LT is a 1600 with a SR20 in it that lives in NSW I think. It was up here for the V8's as we race as support for them.

O yeah, nearly forgot, I have a stock 1200 sedan front sway bar and no rear one fitted. So we have plenty of room to go quicker.
