Bringing the caravan and family down for the weekend, see you there.

What a coincidence, 1st time I've been on here in a very long time and you showed up as the 1st thread I saw. Hope you are all well.

when my type 9 destroyed its lay shaft i rebuilt mine with heavy duty lay gear bearings and changed the gearing to v6 ratios i also sourced some heavy duty synchros for it. my 242bhp 260ft lb supercharged zetec didnt break the new box ! i also fitted the a quaife ATB which is great bit of kit transformed the car.. With v6 ratios and a 3.54 diff the car would pull 65mph in 2nd gear. https://www.bearingkits.co.uk/FORD-GEARBOX-PARTS/FORD-TYPE-9-GEARBOX-PARTS/C1-10-1-0.htm best place i found for type 9 parts

What a great weekend ! Thanks to all who arranged it, we really enjoyed it. Probably see you at stoneleigh...

No problems

Are fire pits allowed ?

Just bought tickets for sue Keira and myself. Will arrive Friday evening with caravan. C u all there

Just a heads up, when buying these cheap policy's from the above and probably others, if you cancel the policy because let's say you sold your car they do not refund a single penny ! My policy was approx 2months old and her words were " there is no refund due after cancellation fees blah blah ". robbing bleeps ! I won't be using said company again for anything.... So beware peeps

Sold

Sold

It took me 6yrs but I've sold the kit car, i.m done with kit cars now, after 12yrs of kit car moding and owning I've got bored of it all.... Bought a big Merc instead, 1car does it all tows the van, goes like *bleep* of a stick. Comfortable and SAFE. Have fun everybody

Just to clarify prices before I book. Myself £15, my partner sue £15 or £18? My 12yr old Keira £15 or £18 Cheers

When my box did similar it was lay shaft needles and shaft had gone. Rebuilt it myself.

Will be dragging the caravan down about that time. Will add to your rolling road block c u at 1130. Dan

I always dreamed of having / building a really fast car, now I’ve done it i hardly use it. I’ve done more mile’s on my mountain bike in the last 4months than I’ve done in the car all year !

Why has my sign in name become my displayed name? How can it be changed?

I use a canems ECU on my zetec, good bit of kit been faultless sense I installed it

My car has a 2.0l swirl pot in the engine bay, fed from the rear via a facet silvertop low pressure pump, I did track days in the hot summer we just had with no issues what so ever on the fuel system.the oil overhead and the brakes melted but no fuel heat issues or surging problems. Why is it in the front ? There was no room in the back and the fuel tank wasn't suitable for modification at the time I converted the car to fuel injection. Use a good lp pump and it will be fine, mount the pot away from the exhaust in the air flow if possible and it works great.

Yet I have a 1 yr warranty with my xc90, the Aircon pump failed took it in to a Volvo independent specialist the warranty paid up in so much as the cost of aftermarket part cost, I paid the the difference and had OEM original fitted they also paid for the regas and labour @ £50 an hour. So they are not all bad

Cheers for the info I thought that might be the case, now to find some large circlip pliers

Cheers for above info, think I've now hit a major stumbling block, to hang the turbo off the manifold it puts the oil feed and drain upside down or can they be switched ?

Turbo is on its way, where did you zetec turbo boys tap your oil feed for the turbo ?
