think its time to buy some mdf and some black audio carpet and go to town =)

its a 4 door actually!! and as for carbs theres already a pair of 40's sat under the bonnet =)

so here it is ladies and gentleman, after 5 years of owning it for the first time it actually has the magic 3, tax, mot and insurance! so this beautiful moment happened last friday afternoon! friday night my volt gauge starts wobbling up to 15 volts.... so saturday morning i set off to my mechanics garage and low and behold in the petrol station i run into jimboshka in his yellow mk2 escort 4dr auto! about 3 miles down the road after stopping again my brakes decided they were off on a jolly trip to seized on land, which was slow noisey and definitely not fun! so we pulled in and i got the pedal back up and lubed the rod up and we were ready to roll! got to the garage where my mechanic friends informed me that "15 volts" and "wobbling volt gauges" is "normal with older cars".....well franky MY AR$E...so on the way back the volt gauge takes an even jollier trip to the land of 12 volts.....about 6 miles from home luckily! so several blocks of wood, a jack, some axle stands and a new alternator later we were back in business and off to pewsey ( about 45 miles ) for a party, we made it no worries and rocked up with a bunch of 67 split screen campers which was cool, then some bloke in a ferrari arrived and everyone flocked over from the outdoor bit, the bloke in the ferrari looking all smug was suddenly shot down about 5 million pegs when everyone walked straight past him to my car, oh yes, 4 doors and a vinyl roof and a pair of webers vs 360 challenge stradale....i win haha! so, tuesday is here, sunday and monday went without a hitch....but what happens next....oh the great mystery! but hey, even if it broke EVERY day, i seriously wouldnt swap it for anything!

not sure the best way to go about fitting these, obviously the standard parcel shelfs a bit of a stupid shape for cutting up and fitting some speakers in! at first i was thinking i could rip it out and carpet whatevers underneath but after a second thought i realised how stupid that would look with the rear pillar trims etc etc! so does anyone have a decent shelf in theres that theyve made or know of anywhere to get one? or have any good suggestions on how to do it?! personally i'd rather listen to the engine but the mrs is starting to complain about the lack of musics! got wiring and an amp already in just wondering how to get these damn speakers in and looking good!!!

does anyone else find that they go all the time? i have a burton alloy rocker so im using their paper gasket but i swear it breaks all the time, oil hits the fan and decorates the underside of my bonnet

spotted forum on lockdown? i saw 2 RS2000's on the ring road in basingstoke yesterday, MK2's one black one white! i was dicking about in my clio, wondered if anyone knows who it could of been? apologies for lookin like a twat, thought u were someone else (in the white one)

to install and setup manual choke on my pair of weber 40 dcoes?

itll crank fine for a few seconds, then it all slows down smoke starts coming off a wire/box in the engine bay, it has one power cable going in, another going out to the starter motor, and another one with 2 little wires in the middle! is this the switch/solenoid for my starter motor? and is it usual for them to get very hot / start smoking! HELP ME! only a couple of weeks left till she gets taxed and i need her running well!

distributor clips! only took like 45minutes coz the bloody webers get reeet in the way! runs pretty sweet now! took a mate of mine out to show him what sideways is all about (he has a bmw 318is and claims its a "drift machine" funny it only kicks out if you're full throttle, on full lock, ON GRAVEL) couldnt even get the damn thing sideways on the road, the escort on the other hand decided it was rather happy to start sliding about all over the place in 2nd and 3rd! gotta love those LSD's

been reccommended for brake upgrade anyone got a number i can contact them on?

looking at a full upgrade probably willwoods on the front and some sort of rear disc kit remote servo new master cylinder braided lines etc etc etc ANY recommendations please?

my car went for an MOT and when it came back my £250 burton power electronic distributor was broken, the clips were all stretched and the cap now wobbles around, when u crank it it jumps about 1.5cm from side to side........hence why my King car no longer starts, got some new clips now so guess i got a fun weekend of trying to get to my dizzy, which is convieniently hidden underneath a pair of 40's! cant believe it, why the hell would they mess with my dizzy???

MAXIMUM RESPECT to Distributor Doctor for hooking me up with 2 clips at £3.50 each.

Basically, my car went off for an MOT and when it came back the dizzy was wobbly and a clip was missing off one side and the cap was held down with the 1 remaining clip and a King cable tie!!!!! bloody twats probably twigged it was an electronic unit and wanted to see the insides and managed 2 break a clip off! spoke to burton power who told me id need 2 buy a new dizzy, £240 thereabouts!!! its a lucas style dizzy, does anyone know the type of clip im talking about and where i might be able 2 get one? many thanks!

im gunna try and make it! gunna buy road tax on the 1st of feb so should be able 2 drag the old girl outta the garage and up to the ace

looking to upgrade my stater motor to a high torque jobbie from ratsport i have a 1700 crossflow with a fair amount of performance parts etc can anyone tell me what type of stater motor i need? i rang ratsport and they asked whether it was a pre-engage or inertia and whether its 9 or 10 tooth if anyone knows PLEASE HELP ME! if not i guess ill just have 2 take it off and find out, but thats a bit of a hassle seeing as i have 2 drive 50 odd miles to the garage and back everytime i need work doing!

Was F**KING IMMENSE! anyone else go? let meee know, fave bands best moment of the weekend etc.! AND DID ANYONE ELSE GET ON THE MANWASH??? most special 60 seconds of my life
