Nanglebadger Posted November 5, 2010 Share Posted November 5, 2010 awesome! totally love this project. I think Jay and i were discussing removing power steering the other day from something (not mine lol) and i'm not convinced its the best idea man! makes manoeuvring a real prick!!!but, that aside, good luck on the engine run tomorrow bro!Phil.

Sparky Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 Well im up nice and early just about to set off But yea I think PAS steering will be staying as for ABS, it can get fucked seeing as it dont even work lol looks like it weighs a bit too! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky Posted November 6, 2010 Author Share Posted November 6, 2010 So the engine is now living in the old mans shed.Hopefully getting the car down his soon aswell so work can start, need an engine stand in the mean time to get this engine stripped and cleaned up and possibly fit new rings, definitley do the timing belt and oil pump and while the head is off I may aswell put a 1.4mm headgasket in there to lower the compression a bit so she likes 1.4 bar boost Anyone recommend me a headgasket at a decent price?

bucketep91 Posted November 14, 2010 Share Posted November 14, 2010 my old fiesta did that too when it was off the road, take as much of the interior out as you can and clean it before it gets worse. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
