Hello, been ages since I was here, still have the car been continually fettering whilst keeping it largely usable, for anyone that may be interested list as follows: flip front complete with new subframe, catches etc new balance bar peddle box complete with new bulkhead etc converted type 9 to hydra...

Update- balanced throttle bodies, no real improvement :? started to look for other problems pulled all plugs and after recent replacement plug 4 looks new no signs of any combustion other three look as you would expect having covered about 100 miles, so concluded running on three honestly didn’t bel...

Please forgive multiple questions that have probably been answered a hundred times, I believe I have sierra uprights from speaking to Rob, I as I have said in other posts am not at home so have some time on the internet and not time with the car, however I have driven the car approx. 1000miles since...

I have the zetec manual and the procedure outlined is more or less the same, picture says a thousand words though and the section in the larger manual is very useful although he setup is slightly different than the weber way. Think I may be wrong about the use of the screw on the right though, will ...

Little update, I have had a look into the linkage sems they are all like this obviously the spring has sufficient rate to allow the movement tof the left by the right throttle spindle (it is quite a stiff spring) so it should just be a case of adjusting as per the weber book but using the RH as the ...

Decided not to sell at the moment due incorrectly balanced set will look to ballane prior to selling so new owner can bolt on and go, dont want to pass my issues onto someone else. Anyone still interested let me now though as shouldnt be long and they will be going.

Thats hellish for him would be devistated.

Seems like an expensive swap looking through the details though, also looks to be high believe he said 4" bonnet mods needed, still thinking Zetec at the moment.

200sx might be nice engine choice is down the forced induction route I was trying to avoid though, does it fit? has anyone done it? Quick update on where I am at weekend came and went in a blur, managed to break away from DIYing yesterday afternoon and spend some time (about 2 hours) on the car. che...

All very interesting info, thanks guys, few things to consider i am still thinking st170 motor but have been thinking duratec also. I am going to have a look at bettering current performance and complete the ecu and tb changeout, will start another thread once i get going. Quick easy question hopefu...

Mainly i feel the system is better complete especially to someone doing a carb to bodies conversion, I am still undetermined on choke size required for future engine up grades and swaps also so may be looking to increase body size to 45mm. Good to know there are buyers out there for these systems th...

yeah 200 RW is a dream I will try not to get to hung up on it really just want to be competitive and finding the current engine a little bit dull despite the supposed power, my daily driver (120D) is as quick I would say at the moment which is a little disapointing, engine runs ok mixture apears to ...

Out of a matter of intrest any one know Block + head weights for Zetec vs Duratec vs Sigma? I've not actually weighed them all on the same scales, but I have weighed my Sigma at 70kgs (bare). I believe the Duratec HE is 10-15kgs heavier - it's physically larger, though the family resemblance is cle...

welcome anyone who can sway me It was designed in the 80s and is made of pig iron? :wink: DH2 These days tend to agree - all alloy where possible now - but it dont come cheap :roll: Agree with the all alloy option but in the interest of not spending too much was trying to keep things simple regardi...

Seeing as you're so stuck on the ST170 , I'll throw in the fact that one of my competitors has a 615kgs MK1 Escort spaceframe fitted with the ST170 engine ------------ it has 280bhp plus runs on 10 inch rear 8 inch front slicks --- The ' rub ' is that my little 600kgs Stylus 231bhp silvertop , on r...
