  1. fitted loads and loads and (well you get the idea) DGAVs to 1600s without the return but you need to make sure the float is set correctly and the valve seats propperly and shuts off the standard 1600 pump actually pumps less than a twin choke equipped car (shorter pump rod) so should not be the problem if standard
  2. The way i see it is if he wants em it's down to him to be put out and use english, it's like the cheaky tw@ts who message you and say ring me, ring me ? fook off you want it you fooking ring me, tw@t i aint paying for the fooking phone call When i buy stuff from abroad i do the bablefish translation thing into their language as i think it's the polite thing to do, and it no doubt gives em a laugh with the dodgey translations. As for the tight arse on ebay who didn't want to pay for a reserve report him, 3 bad reports and he's off ebay
  3. it seems the more fuel you add the more boost it'll make? a diesel trait i spose, i havn't really got into the initty gritty of it all yet
  4. the selector only pops out into the hole when the stick goes back not forward you sure the stick is dropping enough to clear the lockout block ?
  5. a guide to upping the fuel on the lucas pump, turbo mods as per a petrol http://www.tdocuk.com/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=6900
  6. yep love lego star wars and indiana jones but teh 2 star wars ones are me fav, grew up with start wars as a kid and lego
  7. Had a Mk2 fezza with a Mk6 escort turbo diesel, fooking flew a few tweaks here some more boost there and it was an animal
  8. the one in me cortina came out of a 100E nice short engine actualy but the deeper BH on the diesel box pushed it too far forward so in the 100e he used a FWD flywheel (thinner) and clutch on a petrol 5 speed (shorter B/H and input shaft), that moved it back enough to fit the bay but then finding a starter to fit becomes the problem, IF you can sort that and the 105 bay is similar to the 100E it's deffo doable remember this is all 100e not 105e and i'm not too sure of the differences ? the 1.8diesel is called a KENT unit and i'm pretty sure it's based loosely on the KENT pre and crossflow
  9. /\/\ yep WHS /\/\ in practise if you have a half decent MOT tester he will let em through as long as they give a beam pattern and are aligned correctly, i had BM projectors in my last Mk3 cortina and have for the TD project as well, wayyy better than standard
  10. Henry 25:17: 'The path of the Ford man is beset on all sides with the iniquities of the non ford and the tyranny of Jap cars. Blessed is he who in the name of xflow and good pinto's shepherds the weak through the valley of darkness, for he is truly he is truley his brothers keeper and the finder of lost ford owners. And I will strike down upon those with great vengeance and with furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know that my name is the Henry when I lay down rubber at SANTA POD. and strikes my vengeance upon thee.' I allways thought that was just some shit you said before thrashing some shitter round the town One question Fred, IF i become your alter boy does it meen you have to fiddle with me like the "other" religions? cos if you do have to ,,, i'm up for it P.S i aint wearing no frock

  12. As far as i'm concerned the kid fidling nazi MO FO can fook off nowt personal i hate all organised religion were the leaders sit about in opulance while people starve and have to listen to the same person talk bollox about caring for thier fellow man fook islam an all, thier leaders are trying for the "most people killed in the name of OUR religion" badge, which would be fine IF they stopped killing the poor fookers who really have no say over what happens, try killing the fooks in power that make all the desitions that affect "your" people oh and Jews an all, can't stand the whinning fooks, spent years listening to me Nan whine on and on about how great Judaism is then sneaking off for a secret bacon sarny and hearing how her orthadox father used to beat her and her mum cos he was drunk all the time, another bunch of 2 faced w@nkers and relax Oh and in case there's any religion i havn't offended, you can fook off an all
