Questions, how old is it, what did he pay, what mpg do they get, do they go wrong? Looking for a cheap power barge atm and ebays full of old 330d's for cheap money.

Good work, glad to see it lives again, i'd love to be able to engine swaps and rebuilds, are you a mechanic?

I've been in a warehouse with no windows all day, didn't even know it was hot until 5:30, but by that point it wasn't really that hot anymore.

I had no choice but to rip mine out, the alternator bracket came loose and smashed the pipes to bits, the whole lot was binned and cup setup installed for an extra 0.2 bhp, but when your work has no aircon and your house has no aircon, getting in a car with no aircon is hardly here nor there, at...

Not sure how much it's worth, but it's from the 60's.

4 door hot hatches should be illegal.

I don't normally like Deviantart renderings as they tend to look like a schoolboy drew it on the back of his maths book, but Dacia should make this with a minimum of 200BHP. (but with less doors)

At 143bhp it would appeal to people that want a cheap sporty hatchback that might be put off by expensive top of the range 200bhp cars.

Yep, but only in South America.

An old Romanian member stuck a 1.6 K4M in a Dacia Logan. http://www.cliosport.net/threads/dacia-logan-turbo-project.590376/ Dacia do actually use the F4R in a few models, but it's a watered down 140bhp version. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dacia_Duster

The only reason I put 40 psi in them was because I got pissed off going 32-33-34-35 and thought f*ck it, lets just go to 40 then reduce it until they feel right, and bizarrely they felt right at 40 which I did not expect.

Mine folded like liquorice until I put 40, yes 40psi in all round, now they handle really well in all weather, which is wrong because 40psi should be way too much, 35psi still had them folding so I thought f*ck it, 40 it is.

I just watched it. All that work and they accomplished absolutely f*ck all! lol

Been wanting to watch this all day, but i'm saving it for later when the good TV's ran out, I love the ones where they take a junkyard car and make it run again.

No pics of the engine bay?

Is yours still the OEM map Chris?

Bargain!

Most only have induction and exhaust mine included, some only have a decent exhaust, remaps are definitely worth it on these cars, if I was you i'd pay for a decent garage/mapper to do it.

Yep, once they're used they're locked to that cars ecu and won't work on another, even if you bought a licence the unit would be locked to your car and be useless to the owner, so you'd have to buy another licence so he could use it on his car again, by the time you've done that and bought the...

I had to use a bearing press and even then it took a few goes, it's made everything in my car vibrate like f*ck because it has zero give, but at least my exhaust isn't dragging on the floor anymore.

Fairplay, at least he's a real mate and covering all the bills.

Like you I prefer the older Fords, still some nice looking cars there, also some utter f*cking monstrosities.

Tell him to walk away, losing £100 deposit is better than losing the best part of a grand trying to make the car right, tell him to pay £12 CS membership and take his pick of all the far better cars in the for sale section, he won't regret it.

It's worth paying £12 to become a member, pretty much every car in the for sale section is cheaper than the one you posted, with belts done and comprehensive history.

£2.5k for a 182 that needs brakes all round and has never had a belt change? Whoever buys that needs their head examined, much better cars to had for that price in the for sale section, plus you can research the history by looking at the members posts.

It's cool and everything and i'm looking forward to seeing your progress, but I think this statement needs explaining a bit more, was he injured, how big was the cliff, how did he manage to drive off it?

One for the lottery garage, whoever built that was not f*cking about, imagine how much fun it would be on a track day. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ford-Escort-MK1-Cosworth-Built-for-speed-/291833427667?hash=item43f2a0b6d3:g:-zQAAOSwdzVXnfC3 This is a very quick...
