my favourite thing in the morning

taken earlier this year at the Abingdon Car-Nival

cheers mate wa-hey (sorry, photo-bucket virgin here)

Grrrrrr how do you post pic's chaps?? Please help

try competition car insurance i think the guy even rallies a mk1 escort, my dad insures his rally car with them and even gets a nice Christmas card every year doh, won't let me post the link, but google them and you'll get there (i'm sure i've got more than 10 legitemate posts???) just seen that this is my 11th...my bad

interesting engine mounts i think i've got one of your 1380 crossflow's in my car, would you guys be able to confirm this? Cheers in advance Tony

sorry if it's been mentioned already, but why is the bias pedal box not an option?

i currently run 13x7 superlites on the mk2 and i had to grind the lip on the inside of the arch away to nothing mine was lowered 2 inches and it still rubbed on heavy cornering this was on 185/60's now lowered only 1 inch and i don't have a problem, can't get any one in the back though, but am i bothered??? (nah, i got no mates!!!!)

cheers Wayne, managed to break the gearbox last night though (got it jammed somewhere between third gear and nothing) so more work tonight, just hope the weather holds out

of what, the private land? yeah i'll sort out the deeds to my section of the m25

the guys at WPE (a really nice bunch of chaps) certainly sorted out my little fueling problem yesterday and turned a lumpy 1380 that was impossible to drive into a screaming little b*stard that reached around 110mph (on private land of course) so big, big, big thanks guys, looks like i will be racing this weekend cheers Tony

cheers for the reply retromotorsport, i have standard brakes on the car, and one of these pedal boxes with the brake master cylinders mounted on top of it (had to go down this route to fit the webers on), now i'm totally new to this brake set up so i don't know what to expect in the way of how the pedal is supposed to feel, the car does roll freely and i have only a little travel in the pedal (and it is literally a tiny bit) before the brakes are on and the car stops, unfortunately i haven't had chance to test them too much as i have clutch problems (that's another story) but i would like any advice on why the pedal is so hard. Now you did mention something about a difference in the size of the pistons, would this cause a problem using this type of set up on standard calipers? any advice would be much appreciated, many thanks Tony

hi all, now got the engine in with the 40's and it started....good times! but in order to do so, as some may know, i've had to take the brake master cylinder off and replace it with a new pedal box that has the master cylinders on top of it, sounds good and now has the benefit of braided hoses, however the pedal has become really stiff, does any one have any ideas why? i should mention that none of the hoses are pinched, i never had a servo on the car so it's not like i'm used to servo assisted brakes but the pedal is incredibly hard, any ideas are welcome Tony

thanks for the welcome and even more so for the replies, i've got an inlet manifold that is angled upwards and no brake servo, it's literally just the master cylinder with the fill pot on top of it, with the brake line coming out of the side,

first out i'd better say hi and intorduce myself.....so, hello all this is Tony now down to business, i have a 1380 crossflow in my mk2 escort, all was going well with dropping this new engine in until i went to put the webers on (dcoe 40's) and found that the brake master cylinder is in the way, does any one know how i can over come this problem? cheers in advance Tony
