  1. 4mm is only really essential for anysort of motorsport use. I used polycarbonate or lexan as some people call it
  2. vented with grooves and ds3000 pads
  3. i run a hi spec 275mm set up with no servo and work spot on when i jump on them from 125mph on a tarmac stage, have to be picky with wheel choice tho as clearance is tight
  4. repro manta sumps are available, chassis mount is way to go, only down side is if you want it to look tidy in there you will need an ign only ecu for the spark, Do not buy 2nd hand engine mounts!!!!
  5. tarmac spec inserts are 300/70 rating and are about £250 a pair, i run these on my billy casings with coilover conversion and an 8" spring, don't get any issues with bottoming out , you will prob find that your inserts are shot, the insert controls the dampening effect and the spring gives you the rebound
  6. I say if they want it let em have it, but they need to pay back any debts first and bring all accounts into the black so they have a clean slate to start with,
  7. I have a 2.0 pinto starter
  8. Got a 32/36 Dgav twin choke carb, been kicking around garage for years and will never get used by me again so might be of use to someone. The choke linkage has been removed from when I used to do road rallying £30 posted
  9. Ds3000s in mine give horrendous brake squeal unless I get them glowing so I dropped to 2500s
  10. my mate has a can of R40 which gives the same effect in his mk2 tina
  11. I just used a spread sheet and wrote all the different items in the boxes and printed it off. Then cut out the words and slide a piece of clear heatshrink over the wire and the paper cut out inside and shrink the tube
  12. I had a set of superlites with 275s and 4 pots
  13. Rally And Competition Equipment, normally advertise in Classic Ford mag
  14. you can get heat shielded cables from R.A.C.E, can also get longer cables which can be cable tied back away from the manifold, common problem on rally cars with big manifolds and lots of heat
  15. Anyone got a idea what gears I need for my type 9, running a 4.6 diff and a 195,530x13 moulded slick and revs to 8500
  16. AC services in Bridgwater, he does Revolution minators in std or grp4 form
  17. last rubber one I saw on ebay went for £146, made me think about selling mine and getting a decent glass one as its only on my rally car
  18. or buy the goodridge 600 hose at about £8 a metre and average £8 per fitting for the basic ones, do the job once and leave it!
  19. it does look nice on gold rims, I didn't take any pics when I had them on as tend to change rims as the conditions change due to different compounds of rubber
  20. grp4 fabrications do weld in cages for mk1 and 2 both turret mount and tub mount
  21. pop to B&Q to get some microbore copper pipe in the plumbing section, 8mm will also be fine
  22. if you don't mind travelling there is a company in cornwall called stage 1 motorsport, they put a weld in cage in my mates civic and was turned around in a couple of days
  23. im guessing you car is arched to take 8s I run a 47" atlas with 8s and a 0 offset, with a Michelin pb200 it just fits the arches!
  24. I run compression struts on my tarmac rally car and it works fine, no problems with body roll or diving under heavy braking, I would upload a couple pics of it in action but for some reason the new site doesn't seem to like photobucket links
  25. I have an unarched mk2 in orange and have some gold 8s, only problem is they are buried in the shed, what info are you trying to find out?
