Turning out nice. TOP DAD award goes to you, would have loved a car at 12. As far as race dash, a lot of guys are using the Race Technology dashes now. The dash 2 is a good bit of kit, I plan on having one. You should be able to get something to suit your ecu if your running the Magnetti...

It's time to travel somewhere and extra cost, I'm more than likely going to travel 200 miles to get mapped anyway so would rather have all sides covered for going there and do it once.

Not sure just now fella, I will be taking the best two that fit my bumper and probably saving the other set for if I bash it!

His names Neil Roper dude

Plan is to keep the VVT for just now as I have a new pulley to fit and don't want to sub out the timing of adjustable pulleys/cams. Yeah 421's and ARP bolts are getting fitted and the raised limiter is all things I will want but it wont be going anywhere near that without being mapped. thanks...

Im hoping for around 215-20 with a low mileage engine that was healthy when comp tested and bore scoped. No base figure as I was too scared to dyno with no record of belt being done. I plan on forging the bottom end when it lets go, so will be higher power later. My thinking was bigger...

Maybe. Not bad for a few hours work. Anything I have bought 2nd hand or is a little tatty on the car I have rebuilt, cleaned etc. This is probably the only time the cars going to completely stripped down so If I do it right first time then hopefully it will be easy to keep. When you run...

Yeah I understand why they have a bulge on outer edge as the air would just wash by with the likes of the standard surrounds with fogs removed. when you seee pics of the Rsport promo cars there immaculate. Quick question Tony, im looking at fitting 197 injectors as ill need something for the...

You would think they were made of it.

Tony, I know I know, the fit is just so different from one side to another surprising a large manufacturer such as Renault would send out such poor quality gear

Just had some pretty s**t news IMO, looks like I will have to go out to Jordan with work on the 18th of Aug to work a month and month rotation so progress is going to slow down a fair bit...and to make things worse I have to work in the workshop mon-fri starting monday until then. There goes...

Hopefully I'll be areet with these, 2 of those are no head protection, there seems to be a lack of these seats for the larger person. Trust an American brand to offer the larger seats too. I tried to find out what seat Matt Neil uses in the BTCC as he is a giant but I had no luck. Probably custom.

Nice car, sounds awesome. Addictive noise. What football team is that you support, 3rd from the top ;)

Where did you take your reference from, just asking on here. So what did you use for wiring? A semi assembled omex loom, the one with the plug and loads of wire tails?

Cheers, try to do things right when I do something. Is it an XL seat you have too?

No I bought it from Paul who now has a CSL amongst other things, did you know the car? It got sold to a guy using it daily from Peterhead to Abz, will be fu**ed now.

Gotta love the old fords Ash, Escort mk2 mexico is next on my retro ride list or any of the special editions, harrier etc.

Just found an old pics of my mk1 Xr2 I thought I would share, biggest regret I have selling this. All original panels 54,00 miles from new.

Another little update, couldn't be ar**d with the car today so decided to rebuild the trumpets, looking brand new again with some new bolts, paint and elbow grease. My attempt at some arty pics - fail Sent back my Circuit II's today and will be getting the 2012 Corbeau Revenge XL's...

Yeah thats my aim to but then you have the problem of making a fully functioning interior loom which is quite a task for a road car and not the easiest for a race car either unless your handy with wires which I ain't to great it just boils my p**s. I can see myself piggy backing the standard ECU...

Ah no worries then

Sounds like a missfire, spray WD-40 in all the coil connections. If no joy, remove the inlet plenum and check for water on the plugs and spray with WD-40 again. Also check for rubbing and damage on the HT leads while doing so, if nothing's to be seen then I would replace plugs, then coil and...

How much £'s and what size were you offered out of interest, we're they in date?

Whats PFC, I'm not down with the Clio kids yet! Just decided on 2x Corbeau Revenge XL 2012, sent back my Sparco Circuit II's. Corbeau are a nice seats with new design, just hope they fit me well when they come in a few days.

Looks a well put together car mate. Engine bay looks neat apart from the blue loom. Whats the spec?

Re: My Phase 1 ITB Daily Runner ^^^^LOL at russ 16v^^^ Cheers for that, I thought that might have been the case. I don't think there's an after market alloy radiator that slots right into the 1*2's as far as I know. looks like im going for the Omex race loom and just get busy with the snips...

I might take you up on that offer if im down your way again. do you ever go to SMRC weekends at Knockhill?

I would if it was even a few hours away but im about 12 hour drive from there, I will just go to the next race meeting and ask people for a seat in a few of there cars. Im swayed by the cobra evolution pros as they have really hard wearing fabric, but that aint no use if it dont fit.

haha I lol'd at this, I felt like that when i tried the standard sparco circuits.
