  1. Thanks for your replys.

    Any pics would be good.

    Anyone else had this (see pic).

    I'm running 80lb front springs and tie bars.

    That happened the weekend. And me and the other half were only cruising as the weather really was not the best. Noticed it while parking it back in garage !!!!

  2. Guys I know this has been spoken about lots of times and I have the usual chassis stress/cracking places on the front that seem so widely known about but what concerns me if it's cracking where I CAN see it where is it cracking where I CANT !!!!

    Has anyone come across any other places where the mono splits??

    I can easily weld some plates /strengthen the chassis if I know where to look ?

     

  3. Ok having read your other post I think it's time to go basics !!

    Do you have a standard carb and manifold to try.

    Also have you took the tops off the carbs and checked that the needle still has the circlip on it cos your post sounds like your running lean on one cylinder hence the AFR on your wide band has gone from 12s to 14.

    You say the slides are all moving but not that the needle is moving with it

  4. hi im running GBS plenum standard injectors and standard GBS exhaust and GT manifold on weber alpha system in my S7 and it made 178bhp on webers own rolling road

    are you using the fuel reg on your set up cos GBS say not to but my car runs miles better with it connected

    40bhp at flywheel is quite a lot to be down !!

  5. Hi your right on the early days with the jiggle pin but hat was old pintos etc modern thermos dont have them

    also its not a raceline rail his using its a retroford item which does have a bypass but looks like in pic its not being used !!

    and your 100% right on water pump rotation !!!

    and your pic is 100% spot on for what his got .

  6. yes the thermo fits with the spring part inside the housing that you bolt to the back of the engine

    All you should see when you take off the waterail is the front of the thermo and a black rubber sealing ring that sits inside the waterail

    if you need any more help or details pls ask

  7. Also last but not least on the opposite end /side of the bit that bolts to the head does it have a pipe sticking out of it with a capped off end (maybe a bolt screwed in ) cos that's the bypass and should be plumbed into heater if fitted or into bottom rad hose

  8. Also don't drill the thermo as even a couple of hole 3mm in size will cause it to run to cold 70-80c when on a fast run eg motorway as the stat can't do it job properly. Zetecs like and need 95-110c temps unlike old pintos etc

    I run exactly the same water rail and all I've done is put an expan bottle from rad cap and it now sits at 95c all day everyday

  9. Just a quick thing but copper pipe should not be used in fuel lines the Impact of Ethanol Blended Petrol eats it way through it

     

    Permitted ethanol content in petrol is 5% which is to rise to 10% in 2014.. However we are led to believe supermarket fuels may already have as much as 10% ...

    That was a comment made in car mechanics magazine after a 2 issue article on the subject
