    Zetec Or St170

    Se figures probably, but remember the st170 is a high spec engine. St170 with an Ecu capable of controlling the vct properly is a brilliant thing.
  2. Today, I fitted a fixed rate flasher relay. It fixed my slow flash rate issues. I will be making proper progress again soon.
  3. What's the issue?
  4. Definitely. Even though I'm building an s7 I love a good build thread. It's my new favourite section I the forum.
  5. gap width depends on the width stripe you have bought, working on 60% of the width of the stripe and it should look good.
  6. There is very good details on this in the IVA manual which I am following for this. Gives specific sizes and thicknesses of reinforcing plates and which side to mount them etc
  7. New macs come with iMovies which is plenty powerful enough to make very good quality videos.
  8. Another mac vote here. Very easy to use to.

    New To Robin Hoods

    Looks to be the same as mine. From memory it needs: Strengthening for rear harness mounts Strengthening for all roll bar mounts Additional bar adding to roll bar for harnesses to pass over Strengthening for front harness mounts Strengthening for seat mounts Strengthening of steering column support bar Strengthening of bulk head / pedal box That's on top if the 'normal' IVA bits. All pretty straight forward to do though, and some of it (seats definitely) is covered in the IVA manual.
  10. Build thread here. In fact I copy and paste it to two other forums as well. People forget to visit blogs where as build threads pop up on the sites we are visiting normally.
  11. I'll take the tie bar bits. Happy to pop over or pick up at a meet, which ever suits.
  12. Pm me your address and I will sort one out for you. Have at least one spare somewhere.

    Speedo Cable Saga

    Does sound quite the ordeal. Reminds me I need to fit my new cable...
  15. See you Wednesday.
  16. Teflon melting point is about 325 degrees Celsius, should last inside an engine...

    As above, just browse on the mobile view.
  21. I have been through the stuff on his site already. I think it will be cheaper as easier in the end to just get it done at aldon or similar, and refitting the single weber is just to aid moving car in and out and of cause onto trailer at so e poibt. Thanks though.
  22. Dutton identities are often used in ringing cars. I doubt its a genuine dutton if you thought it looked like a hood so I would walk away.
  23. Will watch with interest, love stuff like this.
  24. So the weber 34 is back on and engine running. Unfortunately didn't have time to do anything else today but at least unknown I can start and move the car now. The dellortos will go back on before IVA as whichever carb i fit they need setting up properly so might as well be the dellortos.
  25. Thanks all for the advice and encouragement. I'm going to go back to the weber 34 for now so I can get going on the other jobs and get the car finished and shelve the dellortos until I have some time and money to take Brumster up on his very kind offer of getting it to aldon for them to setup. First job (after the shopping...) fit the weber and get it out the garage!
