Wouldn't bother with new bumpers, IMO the sleeper look would suit this car a lot better with it being a 5
door mate.

I reckon you should get all 4 s2's as well it'd make it look a lot tidier

[jonyb4]

dont bother with a 2.0 ecu, it wont run a 1.6

and vice versa, i once tried to get my car mobile using a 1.6 ecu and maf, wouldnt rev past 4k and misfired like a Bic™ below that, i think its the injectors that stop you using it, eitherway it wont work


in my advice, spend money on a servo before the calipers and discs, its far more effective for the same £30 you'd spend on a caliper/disc package


my escort servo is one of the best mods ive done if you ask me, then if you still feel you need some more stop get the 260's

[HCS PIMP]

i have already done those mods and im goign to get a new 2.0 engine johny lol

[jonyb4]

New 2.0l eh? Care to elaborate how your going to do that?

Blacktop maybe but you'd very much struggle finding a new crate silvertop

[Michael!]

might mean "new to him" jon...

[Ratspeed]

When you rebuild the engine dont f**k it like you did before.
Was it in 'the bear' or something like that?

[jonyb4]

christ matt you got home quick... only been home an hour me

[HCS PIMP]

the 2.0 in the bear was fine Kev threaded one of the flywheel bolts and tbh easy mistake to make when you hand an impact gun to a newb but meh s**t happens
the running issues with the bear were down to a dodgy maf sensor and a wire that had melted I dynoed it and the engine was spot on
if your seriously only watching my thread to critise me and my car the GFU
I haven't got the time energy or patients all it will do its put me off posting the pictures of the progress
and this is one is going to be special and not needs

[jonyb4]

im not taking the piss mate, just trying to offer my knowledge where im feeling you may waste your time/money on

[Ratspeed]

I'm not watching your thread to critisise,i was just saying build the engine right and dont let your 'mate' cross thread the flywheel bolts.
Now im eagerly awaiting this special build

ok. well done

[jonyb4]

lol what did that prove?

[HCS PIMP]

that the engine in my last car ran well wasn't trying to prove anything

[jonyb4]

whats with the video?

[HCS PIMP]

just won rs bumpers on ebay nice one
alarm is the next thing on the list thinking clifford cause i know what baxtards rounds leeds can be like
Local scrappy was out of 2.0 silver top engines
I did get another puma seat for the other half last seat died in the mk4 crash
also got a mk4 rear wiper arm and full set of mk5 door seals

[jonyb4]

do the mk5 seals fit then?

mines actually leaking a bit

[Michael!]

forget about the rs bumpers. colourcode the front.

[HCS PIMP]

Ive always wanted a Ghia with rs bumpers don't know why I'm special I know
Plus will suit the car well

[HCS PIMP]

front and rear bumpers on given really good clean with zymol wash and with my new sheep skin mitt
just spent about 30 mins cleaning the fog lamp holders and the driving lamps
just need to order some rectangular ducts now and some hose
ordered some 25mm Pi springs today from halfords when I got the new Extreme Brilant bulbs 120% improvement and BOGOF
also got some All weather H3 bulbs and some stainless cap head H4 X 60 Stainless bolts
got new number plates made too and my new ecu is on route

[jonyb4]

ive always found halfords bulbs to be awful, no better than standards

[Michael!]

you getting skirts?

[HCS PIMP]

not sure i like it without at the mo depends what i do with the car

[Michael!]

i reckon you should, talk to wayne (tweek) if your unsure, the bumpers look to poke out a lot if you dnt have them, they look like they arnt attached :/

[HCS PIMP]

already got plan to merg SI arche extentions and rs turbo front arches so they end part way round but meet and cover the lip

[Ratspeed]

not sure i like it without at the mo depends what i do with the car

That translates as 'its really to much work involved and it will look gash if i f**k it up'

You should do it, more doors look ace with the turbo skirts and arches

[AW3K]

shaun stop copying me lol

im doing the arches properly

hahaha!

agreed though, stop messing and get it done!

also any reason you went for 25mm springs? surely 40 would have been better!

[jonyb4]

35mm

[HCS PIMP]

i've got lowered spax psx shocks and after all its a 5 door i take passengers in the car it not a track whore
I like having enough clearance on the wheels especially at full lock
Just sorted my engine going to collect next week
Trust me andy I'm building a very different machine
I had 60mm Pi springs on my first Si and handeled awesome
just need a cylinder head to do the porting on and then start the engine rebuild
Tbh I don't want to do rs skirts and arches at the moment i know how to do it from a build tread from like 4 years back yes im that old

[Fraggle]

Mate jus a quickie...

Your motor was originally first registered in Essex,AR as the last digits....Dont suppose you got anything to say which dealer it may have come from originally?

Cheers Fella

[Michael!]

35mm

Says 25 in his post near the top smart guy

[HCS PIMP]

not sure got it from theftford ill find out

[HCS PIMP]

well sorted the engine ecu arrived today
pickign up engine friday included 2.1 zetec 2.0 silver top which has been rebored
with arp con rod bolts , 2.0 head, cams, 5 new pistons, 4 piston ring sets
the guy broke one of the piston rings during instalation (hence the extra piston) and has decided to supercharger his westfield instead
so done a deal for the lot and i collect friday
then get all the gaskets, give a really good clean, port the head, get the head skimmed and then rebuild and run it in

[Rhinopower]

i was watching that engine on ebay, went for silly cheap money!
