  1. Here is the office , the steering wheel was a £90 ebay special with boss. Its a little bit too far away from the stalks but is very comfortable and better than the old bus wheel I had.
  2. They are still going and car is going in mid April for a sorting out 160 for 2 hours
  3. Anyone know of a decent rolling road whereby they know a bit about old fords
  4. Today I changed the linkage on my weber dgv so they both open at the same time like dgas. Cost me 30 notes and about half hour it was all done. Made quite a bit of difference. Fitted some led bulbs and now the rear lights are brighter and brake lights come on a bit quicker. Nice
  5. I had twin 45 dellorto on my pinto for 5 weeks and took them off. 3 gallons to get to work and 3 back. But then again I loved the induction roar.first gear was crap but 70 in second was nice. By the way my work is 35 miles away and I could have got better mpg if was set up better. Maybe bike carbs or the webcon dgv injection throttle body would be better Neil
  6. £300
  7. Been looking at moving on my suzuki scross and getting a focus zetec 1.0. It has about 125 horses. Anyone got one or tried one. Neil

  13. I'll take either. Both are great cars
  14. No. Gt500 is an aussy special. It's different to a 1500gt

  16. Just wondered given there rarity

  18. How active is this cheap and great motorsport. Haven't been to a night event for years. Used to be plenty around south wales/brecon beacons. Might get my escort involved or the wife's suzuki alto 995cc
  19. Steel wheels versus alloys Sport seats versus fishnets Different stripes ?
  20. So , my mk2 escort has been off the road for a few months hibernating in a dry garage. It was a fine day today so let's get her taxed and back on the road. Eventually it started. Some times when I tried to start it the dash lights came on but nothing . I think it's the auto unhibitor switch (the car is now manual)
  21. What are the differences . Just interested as recently I have seen one of each type.
  22. I use good quality insulation tape not pound land special and then cover it with split plastic convaluted tube. Smartens up the engine bay. I will post a picture of my engine bay later
