Before I call Action Alarms is there anyone recommended and cheap to a get an immobiliser installed in my '79 MKII Escort?

Also what does a basic basic basic immobiliser cost to get installed?

cheers

Roughly about slightly $120 bucks would cost you for the thing supplied and fitted. The remote kind, if i'm not wrong. Alvin in willetton would prolly do you for that price i'd think.

Why would you need an immobiliser in the Escort? I rekon if you left it in the middle of the city, with the window down, keys in the igniton and engine idling it would be safe from theives :sleep:

Just kidding Tom. I assume this is your new bunky?I have not had an immobilser fitted in years, however i reckon dont go anything less than a push button. The press in type are pretty crap and annoying. We get customers cars all the time with the cheap type and they are soooo annoying.

Thats what a basic basic basic cheap one is though, just a 'key' you press into the dash.... Don't worry Brad the Escort won't be getting a Bilstein kit installed any time soon :sleep:

I ticked 'NO' on the transfer papers :P, so they sent me a letter saying I had to get one.... I would happily leave it without one if it weren't for my stupidity. Can I just say that I got one fitted?

Willeton is a bit far for me, probably keep it around Joondalup/Whitfords area if I have to get one...

Ive had several cars that i ticked YES to immobilsers fitted. IF they need a receipt, get one dodgeyed one up. It will only be an issue if it does get stolen and you want to claim insurance as they will say no to your claim.

I have a guy........ If you know what i mean.

So no bilstein kit at all???? How about Koni coilovers then? lol Sawybars, bushes, coils?????

I seriosuly reckon we can make it get a faster lap time around barbagallo :laughing-smiley-014:

Cool, I will dodge them then.

I wanna do SOMETHING with suspension but it will be shocks only because it has..... *cough*........ leaf springs! Rusted leaf springs :sleep: I can fit my index finger and thumb around the tyres as well :P

It only has a 1.6L KENT engine though, if I was gunna race it I would want an RS engine or a 2L PINTO.

escortfrontzw2.th.jpg escortrear2jb4.th.jpg escortengine2cm5.th.jpg escortexhaustyy8.th.jpg

2 old lady owners 98,000 on the clock (only problem with that is these old Escorts don't go over 100,000)

Licenced (for 2 weeks, but still, no pits check)

Stereo (tape deck and 2 rear 6"inchers)

Engine serviced as regularly as the old bettys memory could go back, oil filter looks very new as do the spark plugs

Compression & Oil rings done in the engine 2 years ago (BIG PLUS!)

y'know with basic sump mods you can slot a 4AGZE into these things? :)

seems in bloody good nick for its age though.

As a side not, immobilisers are only compulsory in cars less than 25 years old.

I found that out when I bought a Datsun Sunny that was 25 years and 2 months old.

Cool, and this thing is 28 years old :(

I used t own a 2DR with my dad a few years ago and that had the 2L PINTO motor, but was auto. We sold it to a guy that puts those toyota motors in them. I remember him saying he puts Supra gearboxes in them as well.

RB30!!

you would need a gear ratio of about 0.0000001 to get traction, but fun none-the-less. :(

Hold on! i own a mark 1 escort with sr20det. Runs 12's down the quarter and likes to spin the wheels at 100k plus.

As for suspension i have bilstein coilovers up front and koni adjsutable shocks all round, whitleine sway bar, short ratio steering rack. r33 calipers on 300mm cross drilled disks, Borg Warner LS

As for the imobiliser , why not install a cheapo battery cut off switch and tell em the job is done.

You should have ticked the YES box mate heh.. oh and RaceTune is like 100m from my house, they build some badass escorts and I constantly hear them tuning some really rude pieces of machinery :pwned:

But a bunky is a bunky.. about the most I'd do is weld the diff up for a bit of fun on the winter commutes :dry:

MKI for the win, you know you want to.... will be much lighter.

I have no speakers at work but this thing corners beautifully flat :D

Speakers would not have helped you....unless you speak german? lol

My mate is building an Escort at the moment. Mk2 with mexican wide body kit. Hopefully it will be ready for the track before christmas.

      Racetronix also sells those ethanol content sensor bypass blocks. Adapter, Flex-Fuel E85 Sensor High-Flow Bypass, In-line No Sensor (ADF-FLEX-NS): Adapters - Flex Fuel | Racetronix Ethanol content sensor are originally designed to be on the feed line. These bypass blocks are meant to be ran in the feed line and not return. The continental ethanol content sensors have a 3/8" ID and not 5/16". This is why they are ran on the return line directly in conjunction with a low threshold sampling value VS in the feed with one of these blocks.    Haha we think alike, I used both original feed/return for 8AN feed, and one of the Hicas lines as a 6AN return. I also capped off and left the other Hicas line as a spare.

      R32 gtst speedo out by 10kph

      By -Jimmy- · Posted

      Interesting, I haven't read about the issue with oil getting into the speedo in the cluster before. I'll have to take more notice with mine. The speedo on my R32's when I've run factory diff and tyre size have never been accurate as far as I can remember. The non Type-M GTS-t did come with 15" 5 stud wheels and smaller brakes, but that's less than 5% of them.

      Good to hear the condenser you picked up off my brother worked all good. Do you think there could be an issue with your AC compressor itself or the clutch on it then? I don't know a lot about them so I can't really help but keen to hear what it ends up being. Keep the build thread going man, it's nice to look back on over time.

      This is a story of my life things, I learned eventually (thanks to someone calling me out) that my enthusiasm for discussing and sharing ideas that it came across as arrogance and I'm like... WTF?!    One thing I'm pretty sure I justifiably pride myself on is knowing that everyone will have things they can teach you, and you're always going to find out that something you think you know turns out wrong - you just don't know what it is until you get there.   Just the bursting enthusiasm that comes with ADHD when you hit something that gives you dopamine dumps can come across like you think everyone else is wrong or don't matter. But yeah, I'm a software engineer by trade and also do tuning in weekends and 100% have long had a reputation for  quickly making connections when resolving problems or forming solutions that I've sometimes had to take people form a long walk from start to end to explain how I ended up where I did when it's seemed "too simple" when I've stated my initial case, and had the "WTF" type reaction when they've realised how much was actually considered haha.   My reward is that I get all the curly problems thrown at me.
