  1. I know its not Starlet related, so if this is the wrong place, sorry.

    I just wanted some opinions.

    My brother has build a MK5 Escort RS2000 with a MK1 Focus RS engine in it.

    It has an OMEX 600 ecu, and frount mount. Apart from that its standard focus rs.

    He took it to AVA in Glasgow to get it running.

    They said a few sensors needed replaced so to leave the car with them and they will get it done.

    Now its complete'ish. They want £1000.

    From what my brother has told me they used £80 of fuel on the dyno, and they have only got the car running 200bhp. Well below what was expected.

    The guy said it was very complicated to set up and get right, (200bhp is not what i would call "right")

    Surely its not that complicated to set up a standard engine on an aftermarket ecu?

    Also the guy has disconnected the actuator, saying that the backpressure from the exhaust is enough to hold it closed (wtf)

    This all sounds a bit mental to me

  2. Yea, but im still getting creep issues with it even after porting, and these speedvisions seem to have a higher power rating.

    No pics yet, havent had the turbo off since we spoke. But ill be porting the mani soon so ill get some up.

    My mates been using speedvision hybrid for almost 5 years and not had any issues at all and it still pulls well with no issues,

    awesome, did he get it direct from their website?

  3. Absolutely gutted :(, was driving along a road in Glasgow behind St Enoch, when bang! Smacked a massive pothole/sunken drain.

    On my way home the front and back left were rattling and banging like mad, and when I went back down to the car 10 mins later the front tyre had deflated.

    I'm guessing the shocks and strut mounts will be knackered. :(

  4. Looking at getting a new outer CV joint, as my passenger side one makes a weird ticking noise when i do a low speed tight right hand turn.

    Can anyone recommend a good place to get one, and is it 23 or 30 spline?

    Its a 1996 Glanza V

    Cheers

  5. Has anyone bought one of these kits on eBay for £100.

    Seem like really good value.

    My current OEM clutch is starting to slip a bit when the boost comes on hard. The pedal is quite high so I'm assuming this is down to wear and not that an OEM can't handle it
