hahaha ok mate Was looking through the readers rides section, made me miss the whole old skool thing alot more, especially that 2 door mk3 cortina! I will be back with another osf one day though!
hahaha its not as ad as everyone has made out, honest! Torque steer however is a whole different ball game
How have you been steve anyway, long time no speak. Still got the supersport and the black fez?
Just thought i would ressurect this thread! Just to let you know I did in the end get £700 for the pinto and carbs, which is a very good price imo. Went ahead with the same guy, he had the engine and scrapped the cappers
Got my hands on what i wanted too, which unfortunately is banned content on this site, but I will post a few pics nonetheless as I love it!
Quite a big spec on it too...
Stage 3 Jamsport head
Low comp
Hybrid T3
Cossie discs all round
Full stainless

Big alloy rad
Front mount intercooler
EFi conversion
Kent cvh35 cam
Beige injectors and chip ready to go in when i can afford the set up.
Doubt this car will go down well but let me know what you think.
Right now I either need to get my car to doncaster, or back home to canterbury. Its near stanstead currently. Anyone know the best way of doing it? Know any decents numbers i can call for transportation or possibly anyone got a trailer and i'd be able to sort them out? Cheers guys.
cheers for the comments guys, well fingers crossed i can strip the parts, it still ran when it got to the reclament lockup, and on all 4 cylinders and both carbs, so theres a few quid there, and the buckets and interiors keepable. Some clean panels, passenger door tailgate rear bumper all good still
So my OSF really didn't want to leave me after 3 years together! About 100 miles and 2 hours away from saying goodbye in a part exchange, I see a transit infront of my stop dead, colliding with the car infront. Now my capri brakes aren't amazing by a long way but i had no chance. RIP Capri
Apologies if anyone got stuck on the M11 around 12 midday yesterday (friday), apparently there was a 20 mile jam because of it! 2 ambulances, 3 police, 2 highway maintenance and 2 helicopters?! Luckily nobody was hurt which is the main thing, but it was hard to swallow.
cheers for the comments people! Never been on the same road as a 2.8 unfortunately
The bonnet, well xpackglyn did it for me, but as far as i can tell tyou loosen off the nuts and just pull it forward and up, then tighten back up mate
Had a section in here months ago, so thought i'd put a new one up seeing as ive got the car back after a month of walking!!
New exhaust
Fiesta in the Park
The journey there
The bay
My sig says 120bhp but it was running 130 before the rebuild and with a busted exhaust , so now im hoping between 130-140
