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. There's that much wiring in the engine bay from a carb'd car, then EFi, then FRST that I think ignoring it might be a good option. Right now, my

Hmmm.thought you might say that! OK, plan B is for steels instead - am I right in thinking that there's a different bolt used for steels than there is for alloys on the Mk2 Fiesta? On Friday, 11 October 2013 13:14:19 UTC+1, jin wrote: I doubt it too, I've got 50s on at the mo and they

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

Hello all, happy weekend Kind of related to the rain, my seats have gone a bit mouldy and need replacing. I'm about to get some nice wing backs on Mk2 runners. I seem to recall that there's a mod that needs to be done on the runners to make them fit. Have I got that right, or was it Mk3.5

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

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

They're just 501 types. You can get LED replacements but I always seem to break them or put them in the wrong way so stick with bulbs instead If youve got that the green tint it comes from a plastic dome inside the clockset that comes out either with a screwdriver or by removing it carefully

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. I think I'd rather
