Winter mods done!! Just been for a drive to make sure it's all working and it seems to be.

Sorry for not replying sooner woke up Sunday and ended up in hospital. (Fun times) Multiple of the things above. * New diff (viscous LSD) * New diff ratio going to 3.38 * Disc break conversion * New drive shafts going from push in to bolt on * New handbrake cable to go with the new calipers

Thought I'd start my mods so there ready for the run out later on this month capture

Providing I've done the rear end and weather then I'll be there

If your having to bend the number plate your going to have a hard time. Have you got a picture of where you want it as most people fit them at the bottom of the nose cone or buy a vinyl number plate if wanted on top of the nose cone

What engine do you have?

Fingers crossed it's all sorted then

Well done, did you flush the engine out with another oil change before taking it for a drive?

I'll see if I can persuade the misses and weather dependent obviously.

Feel for the crunchy clunk on the zetec. If the leads are relatively new you will feel a crunchy feeling and a slight click when they go on properly. On another note is the car all fixed now?

Ye I'll be there

I'm sure you will make the most of it ether way.

Here's the photos and videos I said I'd post up for you. I'm expecting you guys to do some off road mods ready for next year. https://photos.app.goo.gl/xsjpVGazNJfJGVhE6

Mine did to and deans

Just get the ARP ones not cheap but will also give you the option to rev upto nearly 8000rpm

That's what it looked like when I took the old bearings out, no work done to it. My bearings weren't smeared on it. If your going the quick risky root get the crap off the crank and see what it looks like. You can try polishing the crank if it's bad. Just make sure there's no deep scratches or high surfaces which will damage the new bearing

Just for reference this is what my crank looked like before new bearings.

Image isn't working

Obviously check how bad the crank is first as you might just be wasting your time to start. Have you got a picture of your bearings?

Don't necessarily follow what I did but, clean the bearing off the crank to check the true extent of the damage as a small scratch is nothing major. I took a chance with mine and just fitted new big end bearings without checking main bearings as didn't want to take the engine out. Applied loads of engine assembly grease to the new bearing shells and bit the bullet and put it all back together. Fitted a new oil filter and oil ran for 30 mins until hot, let it sit for an hour then dropped the oil and new filter and oil again to try and flush the metal out the oil gallery's and it's been ok ever since

Modified focus manifold with turbo below

It was mapped with a boost controller so that would be with higher boost (12psi) but don't own one at the min so only running 8-9 psi so more 200-210. The engines we use should be safe upto 320 ish bhp from what people have done before but on a silvertop I'm not sure what's classed as safe

Me and jas please mate

Just to add I'm currently running in low boost as don't have a boost controller so only 8-9psi
