Riggers' Mk2 Xr2 project...

Right, with alot of questions asked and searching for info ive found out my fuel starvation issues are down to the crap design of the Mk2i Tank (never once suffered from fuel starvation on the road mind but on track with R888s on it suffers with 1/2 tank which is no good)...
so ive bought a 1L external swirlpot and ive put for sale the ERST fuel pump i got on sunday and now about to buy a Facet Red Top fuel pump as its a low pressure pump, the ERST pumps are high pressure so would be no good to use that before the swirl pot...
heres a rough (well, sh!t) drawing of how it'll look all plumbed in in the boot, with this drawing itll be less confusing now to when i come to drill holes through the bootfloor for the 4 hoses to pass through lol...

Well... went down to Santa POD for RWYB yesturday, was alot of fun and a great day out, something different as ive never been before...
altho the times were different on the board at the end of the strip to the time sheets ill give you my times off the boards which my mates who were watching told me after every run...
My first run i ran a 14.2 @ 103mph... i was kinda happy with that considering the epic amounts of wheel spin as i launched at around 4k and didnt do a little burnout... then i ran a few 13.8s which i was happy i got in the 13s as that was my aim...i didnt think i'd get a quicker run than them, but up against a Chevelle SS drag car i stepped my game up and scraped a 13.6 @ 108mph, chuft with that altho i didnt quite beat the chevelle haha
Pics and vids to come

Ah it was you there, I spotted the fiesta and thought it looked like yours.
Were you there with the Escort MK3 with the YB?
108mph terminal!!!!... well f**king done dude!!!
JDM Dc2
Good times mate
cheers mate!
nah that was the other blue fiesta that we didnt even see do one run
cheers mate, i payed top dollar for mine beacuse of the restoration and the mods it had already done to it, they go for anywhere between 500quid to 3.5k standard now
haha that good then? cheers mate!
when i said the boards and the sheets were different i meant all the speeds over the line were 100 or 101 on the sheet and between 101-108 on the boards, my fastest time on the boards was 13.68 @108, on the sheet it was 13.60 @ 101, weird lol.
Anything over a 100mph terminal.. I class as a fast car
Sounds dodgy.. I would complain and get refunded haha

haha cheers man
and the woman looked at me confused when i said to her the speeds were different on the sheet comapred to what my mates told me the display lol
bit confusing like, a lad whos similar spec to mine ( just twin 45s instead of jenvey 45s, and with the addition of cams, ported head, ERST lsd box and slicks) ran a 13.1 @ 105mph saturday night, thats what his sheet said so maybe, just maybe the sheet was correct and not the display as i think he's shocked i managed a 108mph terminal lol
both the worst runs of mine from the day (14.2 & 14.9), still stayed level with both the subaru and evo 2 down the strip once i got going

I f**king love it.
Can you explain how it goes? Handling and speed wise?
Kinda old styling shell with a great modern twist.
cheers, errmmm yeh its pretty quick (can see the incar vids from cadwell a page or 2 back) it handles better and is alot flatter now since ive fitted the shorter stiffer springs tho since cadwell... suppose we'll have to see the real improvement at Oulton Park in just over 4 weeks time
Retro cars with a modern engines/reliability ftw!

been on the rollers a few weeks ago at a local Rolling Road day at TDI North in warrington, known to be spot on rollers, didnt seem that on the day which we were disapointed about with the first 4 cars being clio 1*2's all ran wayyyyyy above expeceted... then a few fiestas then mine, ibizas and civics etc all made AROUND the correct figure... mine made 175bhp 157lbs ft... either way i wasnt too fussed beacuse ive got 0-60 and 1/4mile times to prove what it can do, only ran mine for the fun of the meet as it was rather loud on the roller as you can hear here, not the best qualitly sound in the world lol -

got bored today so went the local factors and bought a tin of paint for the track wheels -
also removed the spots and fitted the slightly damaged bumper ready for Oulton next friday -
you'll notice if you havnt previously, the bonnets lower on the nearside than the offside, took a look at the bonnet bracket before and it needs bending slightly, the bonnet needs removing to do this which is a ball ache, not possible on my own so thatll have to wait for abit.

ah, we didnt even see it do one run on the saturday, the one it tried it had a little wee all the way down the strip... but a lad i know said it ran 11s sunday!?
Who's is the Hachi?
JDM Dc2

Yeah, the Hachi-Roku :approve: (86)
JDM Dc2

batterys new home -
just need to get rid of the horrible battery tray out the bay now, gonna do that after oulton and try find a new brace bar that goes to the inner wing
JDM Dc2
only surface tho all clean now, already got a buyer for the battery tray just hope i dont f*ck it up removing it lol
JDM Dc2
picked up one of my new seats off Rob91 the other night, fitted that along with going upto f0xys where his car is stored last night to sort the custom door bars finally, the front of the cage needs removing as the brackets welded onto the cage are only 30-40% welded on as its too tight to get anymore weld on down in the footwell... so when i remove the front part ill be removing the rear too and going to have a few more bars added in, more on that over winter, here's how it is for now -
will be having the other seat after the trackday friday as my mates taking his car off the road then..
also fitted the track wheels before too to save faffing at oulton in the morning swapping wheels, the car looks so different with black wheels on (in the dark anyways) kinda looks meaner... just need to fill up the tank and 2 jerry cans and here we come Oulton Park!!

Awesome day at Oulton today, weather was on our side, only rained a tiny bit, was very greasy and slippy in the morning but got a dry line towards dinner and stayed dry the rest of the day then, the video camera was abit iffy so im not sure how they've turned out...
Swirl pot worked brilliant, was in the red at one time and still getting no starvation, win.
Springs i think seemed to have helped a tad, becuase ive got used to them i think id feel a bigger difference if i just put them on today etc, only stiffed the rear 6 clicks instead of 12 with the old springs too.
only thing was the brakes, HEAVY judder and vibration when hard braking once they were red hot upto temp, i know one of my discs is cracked but its not a massive crack and its been absolutly fine ont he road and they were great at cadwell too... think a new set of discs and dot 5.1 fluid is in order to replace my dot 4 in atm as my pedal bit is very low now after today, when braking i was braking as hard as i could every corner it wouldnt lock up only in the damp in the morning.
pics n vids to come!

other Sparco rev fitted -
then swapped the bumper, bled the brakes again to find both front discs cracked -
NOICE...
whilst bleeding the brakes i decided id paint the road wheels black too, here's the car when i drained some of the coolant out before refilling with some anti-freeze ready for winter -
