kevmk2 Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Oi , oi , captain . Is this chocolate Mazda engined escort going yet then ? It has been running mate, until the starter motor fell out It bolts directly to the block, and there was supposed to be two locating dowels in the block, so it locates the starter lugs to the block, and they wasnt there So got a couple of them now and also made a little support bracket for the starter, to stop it flexing. The alloy spacer from Gosnays wasnt anygood in the end, so the box and clutch cylinder are at HT's, Rons going to sort it out today hopefully. When the engine was running for a short time, Icky revved it up slightly and the induction noise sounded very similar to Matt Downers old aspirated cossie
Guest MK1gaz Posted April 12, 2008 Report Posted April 12, 2008 Ok mate , hope it's all sorted out soon as i'm really looking forward to hearing it
kevmk2 Posted April 16, 2008 Report Posted April 16, 2008 Well we had it running earlier today, couple of small teething problems to fix, and thats about it. Only got a base map at the mo, so needs mapping properly. Got to route the throttle cable and put some heat shield stuff on it.
