Forums Forums chrisimp - hillmans and mazda.

Don't know his second name, names les, does banger racing, got a garage in our yard on dock rd.

Cars grey, has a pinto in it but it's blown up, looks a nice car, needs a bit of welding but that's normal

thats the one mate got the makings of a nice car thought about making him a offer on it myselfe but too mutch else going on at the moment !

What engine would go in it?
The pinto supplied is out of a transit so I can't see it having much acceleration power

transit pinto is the same as mk3/4/5 cortina apart from lower compresion ratio skim the head down and some bigger valves will have plenty of poke or any cortina pinto straight in

Cheers

prob my old 2.0? was a low compression one i think 205 motor aswell, so powerful

Fit some R1 carbs, 1.6mm the jets. Nice and cheap carbs for them.

Yes it is mate

Cheers Phil

Bet that imp sounds awesome, seen one in seacomb by the lights on poulton rd and that sounded nice as it drove past

its not bad, Iv put a bike exhaust on it now so slightly quiter and can hear the turbo spool more and the engine so sound quite sweet lol.
