  1. no problem, i'll await your reply.
  2. I go to Derby daily, so there's the first step
  3. 2.0 pinto efi engine approx 120k miles, tested good compression and efi spec higher flow head, hardened valve seats. Used condition, requires new seals and gaskets, timing belt etc as per any used pinto. Cam slightly worn. Comes with a dented repairable shortened sump. £300. Shortened steel pinto sump, has a small crack in the base plate which requires repair. £30.
  4. i'm looking to free up space but can manage for a bit. When are you thinking of?
  5. as per the attached photo, but without centrecaps
  6. I've got a set of 4 of the original robin hood 'turbo' branded alloy wheels for sale. These came with early 2b kits. 14" diameter, 35mm offset, twin PCD so might be usable on something not-kit related. Currently shod with 2x 185x60x14 and 2x 195x60x14. They are little kerbed and corroded, so need rubbing down and repainting or could be used for build wheels. No centre caps are available. Free to good home
  7. I've had many woes like this, does sound like the cable. Get it routed away from the exhaust. Don't know if they fit the mt75 but the sierra (auto adjust) or escort (manual adjust) cosworth cables fit the t9.
  8. July's meet is at: Monk's Bridge Farm Nobel Way, Dinnington, S25 3QB Coming eastbound from the M1 J31, take a left at the roundabout by the red lion and proceed for nearly 2 miles, and Monk's bridge is the 4th exit off the next roundabout. https://goo.gl/maps/TcekDG8AHPQ2 Usual time of 7:30 on wednesday the 4th. I wont be able to make it this time, i've got a week of nightshifts Andy
  9. my rh prop bearings were shot after 30k, fortunately i had the prop out for other reasons and found the play.
  10. How does nos work with bike carbs and a pipecross air filter (no plenum)? surely you'd need a nos injector per carb and then an extra fuel injector per carb (unless jetted to run it permanently)?
  11. June's meet is at: Monk's Bridge Farm Nobel Way, Dinnington, S25 3QB Coming eastbound from the M1 J31, take a left at the roundabout by the red lion and proceed for nearly 2 miles, and Monk's bridge is the 4th exit off the next roundabout. https://goo.gl/maps/TcekDG8AHPQ2 Usual time of 7:30 on wednesday the 6th.

  12. i'm guessing the asking price is aobut double what it's worth on a sunny day! This might be an alternative: https://www.gumtree.com/p/other-cars/hand-crafted-kit-car/1293746815
  13. Yes it will fit, however it uses exactly the same pad. Not sure why you've struggled to find pads, here are some mintex options: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Mintex-Racing-MDB1287-M1166-High-Performance-Brake-Pads-/111740104447 https://www.ebay.co.uk/p/Mdb1287-Mintex-M1144-Racing-Brake-Pads-Fast-Road-track-AC-Ford-Marcos-TVR/1516167651
  14. cosworth calipers will fit a scorpio estate / cougar rear 253mm vented disc. For the 273mm rear vented disc, you need the cosworth hubs.
  15. May's meet is at: Monk's Bridge Farm Nobel Way, Dinnington, S25 3QB Coming eastbound from the M1 J31, take a left at the roundabout by the red lion and proceed for nearly 2 miles, and Monk's bridge is the 4th exit off the next roundabout. https://goo.gl/maps/TcekDG8AHPQ2 Usual time of 7:30 on wednesday the 2nd Andy

    Pinto Injection

    Have you tried the opposite way? Was that a spare AFM? Are there any other symptoms, such as low performance at high rpm/high load, stuttering? It could be the injectors, but it could also be a number of other things, fuel filter, temperature sensor, kinks in fuel pipe, regulator, pump, wiring etc etc. It would be nice to nail a diagnosis before going further

    Difference Between...

    to add more confusion, my car was made when RH only sold sliding pillar models, and it says 2b plus on the receipt. I think it's simply that the 'plus' models were sold with a few more spares that made building easier(?)

    Pinto Injection

    there's a bosch part number on the side i believe, a series of numbers and dashes. Have you adjusted the mixture using the air flow meter adjustment screw?

    Zero Emission Zero

    CO is measured at IVA not CO2. The CO reading tells you how rich your fuel mix is, CO2 tells you how much fuel is used, and would require a week it MIRA to find out.

    2.0 Pinto Efi Unit

    good lord, that is dear! I've got all the bits, but the loom is in a woeful state and needs something akin to magic to repair. If you're a magician, or can find another loom i've got all the other bits you need, maybe apart from a dizzy (i would have to check). I also have a pinto efi engine - good compression but could do with a new cam / seals & gaskets. Give me a shout if that's of any help.
