[Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Engines
Have a look on xrtwo.com forums, there's usually people breaking cars or who have parts. It's not for the faint hearted though, just so's you know.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 headlamp flaps go mad
Erm, something of a revival (was this really 5 years ago?!) I still havent sorted it, but thinking of starting again on wiring in the thing again.

[Quantum Owners] Re: New stainless steal exhaust system for 2+2
It should fit fine, I had an Ashley manifold on a Saloon which went into a pattern exhaust, as long as it's not the XR Challenge exhausts then the bore size is the same (2 inch I think). You shouldnt lose any power, but you might not make many gains with just this. A 4 into 1 manifold will help, as would uprated carbs and a cam (I like Kent) but I dont know what base you're starting from. As to whether stainless or mild steel, you choice really - I've had both and the only real difference I've seen is that stainless carries more condensation so it dribbles when I start the car up.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Mk2 seat runners / 2+2
Cheers Jim Update to this one, the runners are too short! The way the seats are mounted is on a pair of L brackets, photo attached. These brackets act in place of the legs that would normally be on the runners. They're drilled right next to the 'hump' that the seat floor would just scrape What I'm thinking of doing is cutting the bottom ones down by one hole so I can get the smaller length I need to mount the runners, that would give me 2 holes on the bottom and 3 at the top. Is that a really bad idea or will I be OK? The ones that come off are mounted into the seat so cant be re-used (Rover seats, per this thread from ages ago https://groups.google.com/d/msg/quantumowners/6uku9bihzRs/SURuec5n9qYJ Andy On Wednesday, 26 February 2014 08:53:36 UTC, Jim Hearne wrote: Once you remove the brackets the Mk2 and Mk3 runners are pretty much the same.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Mk2 seat runners / 2+2
Just to tie this one up, I messed about with some steel box section for a while but couldnt get it quite right in terms of angle on the front of the seat runners so I drilled the 'hump' and bolted the runners straight to that. Being a tall lad from the legs more than the body means I can now get the seat where I want it for my legs without running into the seatbelt area on the seat back and an added bonus is my head's not touching the roof anymore either.

The Rover seats were courtesy of Mr Smith, when I had the car originally back in 99/00 it had a set of Corbeaus in there, I dont know if they had different runners, it's too long ago and I wasnt paying attention. I think I'll go with that plan and add an extra washer on the nut. I've already cut one of the Mk2 runners. If that doesnt work I guess I can always pick up another set of XR2 runners from eBay, or just go to a metalworkery place, get something strong and make my own version up.

An unusual setup but i guess that was down to the original Rover seats. If you’d not cut the brackets off the front of the Mk2 runners (which i think you have) then i’d say get rid of all those brackets, fit the Mk2 runners directly to the hump and fill the existing holes in with Silicone or fibreglass filler. But, otherwise, what you suggest should work, though, those brackets look a bit flexible. It does also depend on how high you need the seats. I initially bolted the runners directly to the floor in my saloon but soon realised i did need the spacing tubes. In the 2+2 the Recaro runners are directly on the hump and it’s fine.

Normally on the 2+2 the front fixings are on the vertical face of the “hump” in the floor using the existing brackets on the front of the Mk2 runners. The runners sit directly on top of the “hump” and the rear of the runner is bolted through the rear of the hump using the holes where the rear brackets were attached. If the seat is too low then it may have been fitted with some spacers or a square steel tube between the hump and the runners. If i’m understanding it right the brackets in your picture are mounted on the flat section of the floor next to the hump ? Are there 2 or 4 per seat ? On the saloon the floor is lower so all the brackets are removed from the runners and they are bolted to some square steel tube which in turn is bolted to the floor.

The way the seats are mounted is on a pair of L brackets, photo attached. These brackets act in place of the legs that would normally be on the runners. They're drilled right next to the 'hump' that the seat floor would just scrape What I'm thinking of doing is cutting the bottom ones down by one hole so I can get the smaller length I need to mount the runners, that would give me 2 holes on the bottom and 3 at the top. Is that a really bad idea or will I be OK? The ones that come off are mounted into the seat so cant be re-used (Rover seats, per this thread from ages ago https://groups.google.com/d/msg/quantumowners/6uku9bihzRs/SURuec5n9qYJ Andy On Wednesday, 26 February 2014 08:53:36 UTC, Jim Hearne wrote: Once you remove the brackets the Mk2 and Mk3 runners are pretty much the same. Don’t forget to use big (at least 2” dia) and thick (2mm) washers under the floor on the bolts. An ordinary sized washer could pull through the floor in an accident. Jim *From:* Jamest142
[Quantum Owners] Ashley Exhaust System for Quantum 2+2
Careful with that one, the competition exhaust is larger than standard 2 inch bore so would need the manifold to go with it Ashleywork for a while then rot is normally the way they go, that'd be years rather than months though -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

[Quantum Owners] dashboard lamps for 2+2
They're just 501 types.

[Quantum Owners] E325 XXX Red Zetec Saloon: Request for owner contact
Hi all I'm trying to track down the owner of this Saloon, which they may have bought from a reasonably nice bloke up in Gretna. The wheels that it came to the owner on were 6 spoke 14 inch Zender alloys. They were on my 2+2 that I sold, then bought back, then gave to the Saloon's previous owner I'm getting together a blog page at www.andyhaworth.co.uk/quantum with the history of my 2+2, and would be interested in doing a deal to get those wheels back to the car If there's any chance the owner is reading, or others know who it might be, perhaps they could either post on here or get in toucha...@andyhaworth.co.uk Cheers!

[Quantum Owners] Quick Quantums
I've been thinking about my 2+2, it's probably the quickest Quantum I've owned. The last one I had was running a 1.6 CVH with twin 40 DCNFs and a Kent CVH22, which was OK, but still a bit slow. The current one is a 1.6 CVH turbo EFi, with a 165 chip and standard injectors. I think it'd probably see about 150'ish. At the moment, and touchwood, it seems to be a reliable state of tune. I dont think it's a patch on what some people have done to theirs - do we have a fair few 2.1 Zetec turbos, ZVH's or Duratecs hanging around here or are we in original donors engines? Idle curiosity on my part, always interested to hear what people are up to and check out the specs Andy -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups Quantum Owners Group group.

Both the coolant temperature sender and the fan switch take readings from the head in a cvh don't they, just in 2 different locations? Gauge at the front of the head and fan switch on the distributor side? I've run without a thermostat a number of times but its not ideal.
