  2. Hi if you stick with one m/c use standard sierra one if bias bar use 0625 front and 07 rear and 07 for hyd clutch
  3. No self centering is very poor !! Can I measure caster by simply measuring hub angle like I would with a king pin EG measure this angle /
  4. Hi no not just motorways it just don't inspire confidence on any road Just so I'm straight is that 1.5deg camber front and rear or just front ????
  5. Also what caster angle would you say ?? At moment tie bars are set where they would be if roll bar was still fitted !
  6. Yoko paradas. 6 month ago Would you suggest a little more rear camber ??

Rear springs are 120( maybe 140). Would have to check !! 6. Rear camber is set at 0 deg. 7. Rear toe is set at 0 8 Front toe is 1.5 deg toe in 9. Front camber is set 0.5 deg negative Again thanks for all answers so far. Great club !!!!!
  8. Hi I have a s7 mono and at motorway speeds 70+ it's just damn scary. It's like the car wants to float And it will drift !!! On a B road blast it can hold its own but on a high speed run well !!!! Went out in it last night just to give it a run out and ended coming home in the wind and rain and found I was on the motorway sh*ting myself doing 35/40 mph with the car feeling like its aqua planning and drifting I have been all over the car and nothing is loose or broken ' Suspension settings are shimmed rear hubs so camber and toe corrected , front 0.5 deg camber and 1.5 degree toe.

    Fuel Pump

    If your facet pumps ticks there is a small amount of air trapped in the pump
  10. See I took mine off but now after reading this I'm not sure if I should put it back on ?? After reading the burton article it seems that it has an PCV valve fitted which if I fit a tube to it and aim it at the floor will remain closed anyway and do nothing as it won't have the engines vac behind it to pull it open ?? Or am I missing something ??
  11. Don't use the ford sump you'll get oil starvation !! The engine won't last one spirited drive ! The ford sump is designed for horizontal fitting and is baffled for such. You can get away with using the cvh sump but if your going to the trouble of fitting a zetec budget for a proper sump !
  12. Hi is there a list anywhere of what shops we as members get discounts at ?? Sorry if this has been asked before .
  13. Hi any starter motor /alt recon shop sells ribbed pulleys to fit ACR type alternators There like £3 Just make sure your alt has 17mm shaft not 15mm as you'll need to make up a sleeve to convert !!
  14. I have set all the pedals at straight up (12 o clock) and the travel on clutch is perfect aas it stops on the pedal box and throttle travel is spot on full throttle on the ford butterfly I also fitted a bias adjuster on the dash to help set the bias All in all these boxes are easy to fit .
  15. I have one of these pedal boxes I used the GBS left hand drive clutch cable And the left hand drive throttle cable , drilled a small hole through pedal put solder less nipple on end job done All connected up to my 2.0 zetec. My only complaint is pedal box is quite flimsy . It could do with being made about two mill thicker material
