dont remember seeing fuel stops in btcc /wtcc or rallying

you may hate diesels but they are te next big thing, VAG have done wonders with them. 1 le mans R10 diesel winning everything 2 the new audi R8 V12 TDI faster than the petrol version. 3 Seal leon TDI winning in BTCC and WTCC 4 VW golf tdi in rallying doing really well Audi have said that after this version of the new rs6 (v10 twin turbo lambo engine) they will no longer be making petrol super cars only diesel in my opinion there is a lovley noise from a diesel engine butr horses for courses( they've been my bread and butter for many years)

my 20 mile old engine went pop today just after i'd booked it into sanspeed for a set up on thursday!!!!!!!!!! B#LL#CKS!!!

will be there with my latest creation. will try to run it down the strip too!! hopefully my cousin who bought my lhd mk1 will bring it over too.

your bellhousing is looking a bit on the damp side mate!!! what was the problem with your flywheel? you best get it fixed in time for CF otherwise i'll come over and drag you there myself

thanks joe, it means alot when you've spent the last god knows how long in a damp cold old shed building a car and some one who is a well known/respected osf member compement you on your car thank your dad again for me mate and, monet allowing i will see you at cf. ( tell him i'll have a beer ready for him!)

i was praying for rain every day just for you my man p.s when you coming over to get your centre console, give me my painted fuel cap???????

to Colin at Ashton Mobile ,who came over today amd spent a couple of hours tweaking and tuning my engine, Nice to watch some one setting up twin 48's old skool style. my car now starts, runs and sounds lovely.cant wait to get it on the road ready for classic ford! TOP JOB COLIN. THANKS

had the same problem. aswell as their bias pedal box,anti-dive kit. is it me or is their stuff shite??

spent yesterday fitting braided brake hoses through out. fitting hydraulic hand brake, putting fuel lines in. so bloody close to starting it now i can smell it....so today is family day(would have to bloody rain !!)

i done one with phil price rally school. what a day!!!!!!!! mk2 escort sideways all day.

is it worth contacting the ports( ie fishgaurd or holyhead go to ireland or dover)????? hope to god you get the car back

thanks mate, that seems to be the most sensible way thinking about it. then all bolts are the same size. next bottle

i was fitting myanti dive to my mk1 today, it seems to have different bolt sizes where it bolts to the old brackets that go onto the chasis rails. Also the bolts i had in my old brackets are notlong enough ( the guy at rally designs said to use the old bolts through the new bar?) do i 1) buy longer bolts?( then i would have different bolts holding the anti roll bar on ,on the two outside brackets ) 2) use the existing ,and then nut and bolt the bracket to the main bar ( looks a bit fiddly) 3) drill out and re tap the existing captive nut in the original chasis bracket so all bolts are the same size (just 4 will be longer) sorry for all the questions ,it just that today was a going backwards day.so goingon the beer now..

spot on

he must of thought." i lknow ,i'll take the best angle of the whole car and..................... remove it !!!" genius. bit like taking the rear lights of a mark 1 cortina and putting trailer lights on... there should be a law against it.

tis a ford and a flapping georgeous one at that http://www.stern.de/sport-motor/autowel ... 22440&cp=1

but just imagine the sound of your exhaust through them tunnels if you knew it was shut to on coming traffic then it would be an amazing drive. dont thinhk ive got big enough nads to drive it fast though.

count me in.(thats if i ever get it finished)

i think they're Weller wheels(same company that done the famous weller 8spoke) http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Toyota-4runner-su ... dZViewItem

Do people mess around with you when your selling a car. MY ESCORT NOW BACK FOR SALE.

from my original [/img] to my project and once i have some time this is going in [/img]

IMO its the body that counts. aslong as it looks like the original car then its old skool. APART from white mk2's with vauxhall engines. they're nothing like old skool and should be burnt along with the owners hows it going stu? finished yet???

try turning the wheel out and then kicking the tyre on the tread.if the wheel moves back then its the antiroll bar bushes on the track contrl arm.sound like the common capri escort sierra fault.
