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.

If your facet pumps ticks there is a small amount of air trapped in the pump

Any chance of some pics ??

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 ??

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 !

Hi is there a list anywhere of what shops we as members get discounts at ??

Sorry if this has been asked before .

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 !!

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 .

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

Glad I could help.

Ps did the wife give you the kit car widow speech ha ha ha

I have one you can have! It's been sitting in my lock up for about 3 yrs. I bought it as a spare but never used it. But I'm in London !!

Hi don't use rubber hose along length of car cos it sweats and you'll have that petrol smell all the time like an old ford cortina !!!

Hi need a bit more information pls

Eg fully car loom,omen loom ,webcon, mega jolt etc

I have a complete set of brand new (fitted for 3/4months) twin 45weber carbs for 2.0 black top

These were personally jetted by Alan Collins on webers own rolling road (20+yrs webcons senior technician )

They are complete with manifold ,sausage filter,fuel pump , filter regulator , linkage ect

You will need to buy nothing else !

The engine was doing 173bhp and on sensible driving around 25/28 mpg

I then had a major change and got Alan to do me a bespoke full management system inc fuel inj

So I no longer need these

Open to sensible offers but would like around £700

Yep big welcome to the club.

What ever the question someone on here will have the answer

And remember everyone on this site has asked a silly question at some point !

Hi I have a sierra based s7 so any s7 owners or anyone else out there who can tell me if the front Vallance if I'm calling it right (the panel the windscreen sits on ) just unbolts from the three bolts each side where your knees are and then lifts off or is there more to it

Hi I have a sierra based s7 and want to fit some adj track control arms but does any one know if escort ones will fit straight on or do I need to buy sierra ones

I use the cube one on my 2.0 black top and it's fine but I bought the original facet one . Beware of the cheap Chinese copy's

I use the webcon (weber) combined fuel pump /swirl pot . Less plumbing etc

Hi I don't think it will make a difference as my s7 came with a 1.6 pinto when I got it but let me know if you need any more info or if some pics would help

hi i have a blacktop in my s7 and I used 1.8 cvh engine mounts on up rated sierra mount rubbers

Hi it sounds like your fan belt is slipping.

So at low engine speeds the water pump can keep up but at higher revs the belt slips on water pump

just a thought but ive just converted by black top zetec to injection and I used the webcon combined swirl pot/fuel pump its the same size as a normal swirl pot and has a high pressure pump fitted and a fuel level trip switch to cut the pump if the fuel level drops due to lift pump failer etc

Hi car builder solutions does a fuel sender gauge mis-matcher you can adjust the ohms to get a near perfect match

Hi can someone tell me what the 2 connections go to on the back of he GBS plenium I know on is to fuel reg but I seem to have one threaded hole for an approx. 10mm bolt and one is a 10mm push on hose ?? the reg one should be a 4mm push surely??

hi my heater matrix exits into the bottom hose as per the routing pics on retro fords site .... if your heater returns to the top hose then when thermostat opens the heater will be luke warm at best if not just cold ? or am I missing something ?? which is pretty normal !!
