Winter Mods ?

[Guest stuart_]

mine, is put a 2.0 duratec in place of a 1.6pinto, with a maxda 6 speed box, and hopefuly if i have time after seeting up teh megasquirt uprate teh bake end, for bolt on halfshafts and disc brake.

 

i have been rebuilding the 2.0 duratec for the past couple of week, new pistons, new rods, new bolts, new vaule steam seals, honed cylinders and laped all the vaules in, for this week end to finsh putting back toghter.

 

so next summer i will have hopefuly 200bhp, from a 1.6pinto with 70-80bhp, so a nice jump, once i get bored and want more power a nice little eaton m45 supercharger.

I have a few things lined up dependant on pennies spare and permission from the boss....

 

I want to dump the 38 DGAS and fit bike carbs as I believe that this will make a significant improvement to performance, this will also mean rolling road session as I haven't a clue how to set up correctly.

Also I want to replace the sliding pillocks on the front with the more conventional wishbone set up (haven't got too many fillings left from the stiff front end )

Got some nice shiny vents to fit on the bonnet to improve air cooling.

Also need to fit my wipers and wiper motor and tidy up my dash wiring ( a bit rushed to get it road ready for the summer)

And finally I have now had my steering shaft repaired/ modified properly (cracked weld) so will get this fitted shortly.

 

All this once I have finished my nice new double garage,,,before the missus manages to fill it with shoes and stuff!

Get Prop certified as OK by Propshaft Clinic - Refurb if required.

Grease drive shafts and new gaiters/boots maybe.

Refurb front brake calipers Bigg Red ?

Greenstuuf pads and shoes.

Refurb wheels (The Wheel Specialist) but the price is a bit scary.

Toyo T1Rs all round.

Also considering an engine swap.

Well, that's the Wish List anyway.

I'd best go and have a quiet word with the wife
