Complete Upgrade For 1.1

Postby jcth1 on Tue Mar 11, 2008 10:58 am

Im going to drop a TD mondeo/escort engine into a 1.1 eventually but im doing a parts list now so when i get a good shell i can start.

What upgrades should i go for over the basic 1.1

Suspension -
Brakes -
ARB's -

Also need to know what wiring to rip out of my 1.8 D Mk3 3 Door doner for this project.

Any help greatly appreciated.

I would change the wiring loom over from the Diesel to save hassle, although we arent going to bother doing that on mine.

Best suspension, arb, brakes your will get some standard is either the MK3 RS Turbo / RS1800 or the MK3.5 Fiesta Si / RS1800

breaking a diesel mk3 soon and going to use the powersteering rack and the pump to add PAS.

I will put diesel mondeo brakes on the front (278mm) and maybe if wheels are big enough go to 300mm from mk3 mondeo's.

Looking at 5 spoke mondeo wheels in 16'' form and i know they take 300mm calipers and discs.

what rear beam do i need to go twin rear ARB

jcth1


standard beam can be used, its just a case of getting longer bolts for each side and how to mount it :)
