  1. hello can zakspeed arches be fitted to the ford anglia 105e? and if so which ones? i.e capri / escort etc. I wanting a mega wide arch look for it to suit the new much wider track I have running on it. If someone knows if they can could you please pass on as much infor about it as you can. i.e would you would perhaps have to change to make them fit if at all they can be. many thanks Paul
  2. hello all perhaps you can help me here. MY project 105e is running a much wider track ( best part of 16") and needs a wickedly wild body kit making, as per the old racing anglias used on circuits not grassers etc. I'm not sure how such body kits are made and whether or not they can actually be purchased. I'm therefore looking to old skool to perhaps supply pictures of any 105e with wide arches from as many angles as possible for reference or perhaps even some technical advice of who to speak to or where to look. I've provided a link below for you to catch my drift as I'm set on keeping the wide track look. anyone who can help I would be very grateful. http://www.fordanglia.com/index.php?opt ... &Itemid=53 sincree thanks Paul [/img]
  3. xflow is the natural choice for reasonable simplicity but you haven't stated your expectations. i.e will 120bhp commonly tuned xflow state satisfy? if so then it's a no brainer
  4. you can enjoy the dirty jobs you thought you hated. I started quite a big project a while ago now and did quite a bit before shelving it as life got in the way (career change etc) and have put off starting it again due to lots of grinding welding required still. anyhow, I have begun again and have surprised myself how much I'm enjoying it. I've got 8 weeks off in 2 and have big plans to really make some progress. will post a thread at end with hopefully something to show for it but don't want to reveal hand now and get pats on back for fear of standing back and admiring what I've done instead of cracking on with it. anyone else felt like this?
  5. sorry guy's there a bucket IMO. whats that big plastic fin all about anyway! the RS was better looking and sounds sooooo much better. just arguing the OSF case
  6. if you have an OSF that goes though that makes it even sweeter. I had my anglebox on road less than a day when a 220 turbo rover dude and girl friend were laughing at me waiting at some lights. pissed him right off when I left him in my wake even with all that whizz, pop and dump bag shit. couldn't bring himself to look over at the next set of lights but I was glowing inside. I'm smiling as I write this. ah the memories
  7. anyone got IRS. want to hear opinions on how good the sierra lsd is. I've heard they are pretty strong but being viscous lsd I wonder how severe they are compared to say plate diffs. any cossie conversions or past owners think they were ok for road or race?
  8. I spoke to fostek today who build rear axles for rally (based in Cramlington) His comments were the sierra based diffs are pretty strong and strong enough for my intentions. My intentions with this will be mostly road but the occasional 1/4 mile. it's a 3.0 twin turbo with 300bhp or there abouts and I was told by many that my English axle lsd would be out of it's depth here unless some money was threw at it. as for the camber issue. I have noticed that the rears of sierras are quite severe in this region. is there a way of relieving this? thanks for comments
  9. hello all Anyone got a good idea as to how strong the sierra lsd diff is? I have one of those Xr4i lsd diffs but haven't a great deal of experience with them. I wonder what sort of horses they can cope with and just how fierce an lsd they are. anyone got an opinion here. I hear lots of cosworths boosting and boosting without much mention of rear end work and I presume the cossie lsd can only be the same as the xr4i. if you know please pass a comment but no guesses please if that doesn't seem too rude.
  10. I've seen lots of OSf's with great engines then skimp on a descent lsd. the guy's are right. buy a descent one and you will wish you did it years ago. the best fun you can have
  11. what sort of lock up was it built with. my english axle was loaded up quite heavy and made all kinds of noises on tight cornering at low speeds on tarmac when grip was good. remember these friction plates are trying to limit the operation of the differential purpose.i.e one wheel revolving more than other as you corner. noises are very normal from these but I suppose if you have not had one before the first experience can be concerning. you must also recognize that I've not heard the diff so if the diff is F***ed then it will also wine because of that.
  12. you head has 8 valves numbered 1 to 8 from front of engine to back. turn crank until valve 1 is down (fully open) and adjust valve 8 clearance. this is what the guy's are telling you. the sum adds to 9. i.e when valve 2 is down adjust valve 7. the sum of both still equals 9 your clearances will be different from exhaust to inlet so be sure you keep your eye on which you are adjusting. hope this helps
  13. don't spoil it guy's it's OK and well finished but only a Sierra not OSF
  14. there are many 80's bands I loved so much during my time at school and have spent the last 10 years trying to see as many as I can in concert. here are some greats of that time and some odd ones you just might have forgot about. The 80's was ribbed so much for the music but I'm sorry folks, it's still sounds great to me even today see what you think! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EA9gFbvUv0A http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZ3oMwhZTlw http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pk30a0qsVIk And my fav band that even today is still underrated. best voice out there and I've heard plenty! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SYbVwBMkl6w
