It's shockwave. Shockwave came out when they discontinued blueprint and was available from about August 04, so available the last of the BA mk1's .

I have never done it but you will have to drop the gearbox slightly. Look in the Mal Wood section, theres probabally a few pointers there.

Check this baby out, an original MK 2 Escort RS2000 with a XR6T engine. http://classicford.mine.nu/forum/topic.asp...amp;whichpage=4 And yeh, I'll happily take an RS Focus to park next to my RS2000.

Nov 04 build, picked up Jan 05 and she's about 28500. Given that we now have 3 kiddies under 20 months (god help me) I don't think the km's will increase greatly over the next few years as we only decked out the Territory with kiddy seats. Cool, no spew in the XR.

Just fit a Mal Wood Clutch you wont regret it.

I'll see if I can make it, but with 8 week old twins and a 20 month old son, I need to see how many brownie points I can acrue between now and then..

To fix the fact that first gear is pointing out the window, use some threadlock, it is what the factory do and hence why it's a barstard to get off. I did mine last thing at night, I pulled the knob off (clean mind thanks guy's, even though mine is usualy filthy), poured some threadlock into the knob and then screwed it back on lining it up correctly. It cured overnight and was right in the morning to use. You only get one shot at it, even though I used a low strength threadlock, I can't budge it with my hands.

After replacing my clutch with a Mal Wood unit, I feel that the clutch itself has a lot to do with it also. The factory clutch is so forgiving to make it drivable by all, by putting a real clutch in that bites when it engages made the feel of the car completely different.

Poor pooh bear, I am tempted to stick it up on my son's wall for a bit of a stir, least I know I can outrun my pregnant wife at the moment...

Reviews after install would be appreciated guys. I am looking at getting these in a few weeks after I get some cash for some E series parts that I am selling. The only thing I'm not real happy with in my car is the shift feel.[/quote] If your not happy about the shift feel of the stock shifter, this is your answer. The shift feel is so much better and more direct. Something that I'm sure you wouldn't regret.

If frieght from NZ is too expensive, I have one in Adelaide. Done 26000km, slipped at highway speeds in 5 & 6 with 260 kw at the wheels. Prob be right for a NA and the clutch plate still looks fine.

Looks horn but you may need to use your get out of jail free card

All this and they say it's to stop teenage binge drinking, yet the teenagers are pinching the old mans booze so it aint gonna stop annyone.

Bloosted, looks good mate, who did it for you?

For all you guy's considering the shortened gearstick, here's one I prepared earlier.[attachment=36903:car_001.jpg]

I went some Herrod springs in mine and whilst not quite as dumped as the King setup, I don't think I would have quite as many clearance issues.

There is a phoon in shockwave with the dark argent rims out our way and it looks awesome.

I went with herrod springs, not quite as low as the King set up and am pretty happy with them.

The Expensive Daewoo drivers, if they don't drop out like they did with you, they usually do the loser driveby where when you have caned them and pulled out, they keep the foot flat and continue to overtake as if to say I'm winning now. Bunch of tossers. I used to love it years back before the XR6T in my eb XR6 which was mildly worked. As commonwhores have that tall first gear, it gives them a good start to keep neck and neck, but as soon as they hit second, it dies in the a** where I still had another 1500 revs in first to go.

Having just had one fitted last week, I spoke to Ben from Mal Wood's on the very subject. Ben indicated that run it time is dependant on how many times you engage and disengage the clutch and it is not really dependant on how many km's. He said that if you drove it everyday in local suburbia/city style driving with lost of gear changes, it would be run in about a week or so. If you drove it on the highway it would take much longer. Based on that and given my driving is mostly suburbia, I filled the petrol tank and once I am through this tank, I will consider it run in. From there I will gradually increase the strain I will let it go under. Bloody great clutch though as no doubt you have found.

Site sponsor Mal Wood may be able to help out with a diff centre.

At those prices, does that include a service from the secretary on her knees....

Not the child lock is it???

Cheers for that Pete.
