nah i think they look ace mate - ages ago at the motor show (was a good few years back now) on the kahn stand, they had a set of rs...er something or other - the flat 5 spokes with the allen key bolts at the end of each spoke. they had sprayed a set black with a titanium/purple flip - since...

well, actually - the focus RS has more torque per pound than the standard escort cossie, and to be honest with the quaife diff its running wouldnt need 4wd to get all the power down on the road. more so in 1st and second the car will only let u have 177LB torque, dump the clutch at 4k, and the...

erm, about 90 quid from powerflow mate - dont know how much from longlife. also it will be cheaper if u dont have a silencer welded in the midsection. Ray

heh then i wouldnt go to them lol - thing with powerflow is they use any old bit of (kinda like) scrap metal lyin around to fabricate the exact shape for ur car. id try out longlife in sheff matey, seeings as ur mates powerflow fell appart lol sayin that tho i aint come accross anyone who...

hmmm lego i dont know lol - cos lego i can do regarding the all out in one thing, nigel fox told me not to try it that way cos he doubts the lump n box will make it out the bay area all in one. thing is i cant drop the subframe cos i aint got the room really - i got a pit, to undo the...

yeah im gona, ive got the cambelt, alt belt, tensioners sat in the boot waiting to go on - 3 new mounts, clutch cable, group n clutch. erm, dont mean to sound silly but what is the thrust bearing? i know the clutch ive got here is 3 piece, is it one of those? Ray

yeah gota get all the sh*te outta the garage first - then clear the pit. ive been speaking to jimbo and he says theres tons of prep work b4 the lump can come out, but ur right - im gona be saving some money eh? Ray

yeah imagine that - ud be able to handle a bb turbo conversion up to about 350bhp without the fear of killing ppl and the need to sh*t urself everytime u floored it. id be interested in development, but for the 19 16v tho. Ray

heh yeah but its different when uve got certain assets to persuede ppl with erm, i know a few places in derby mate, couple of mates, do the torsion bar for 70/90 odd quid. actualy my mate had prima fit his front springs n drop his torsion bar for 150 quid. Ray

think ktec and bb both dopolished /gasflowed manifolds in chrome or similar but coolspot is right - they are about 400/600 quid. and my mate has a piper back box with a powerflow straight thro pipe on his maxim. and to be honest for the engine size its one of the best sounding zxausts ive...

yeah exactly, and all this pants with extra dosh for a decat when u might aswell bypass it altogether with a straight thro pipe. unless the zaust is tested n tested for ur car there aint no point worrying about it - go for sound, and the straight thro pipe will let it rev slightly freeer if...

hmmm id say go for any back box thats of high quality, ie welds and tail pipe are superb, then get powerflow or another company to weld u on a straight thro pipe from the back box all the way to the manifold. if its noise ur after then make sure the only silencer u have is the one in the back...

theres a few ways round it so u dont have to leave nasty locks on places. 1. the doors are actually very easy to bend outward to stick wedges in while u hook the inside opener thingy. 2. u can have a switch mounted under an arch or hidden place of ur choice that will pop open the drivers...

it could be ur track rods mate (not the ends) see if theres any play in the drivers side rod. my black 19 did that alot, could also be down to the camber in the road too. Ray
