When i had them in place of the vents the guages got too hot to touch if had the heater on full!!

you didnt think to block off the vent?

[SEG1]

Gauges look mint clark. Very factory!
Love having burton power down the road.

[jayrs]

as said on phone, looks good mate, maybe a edging strip round the outside a bit though?

as for relocating the radio, i still dont remember this bracket thing i made ya for doing so although was that one i knocked up quick when you came over with the missis once?

as for putting the radio in wehere the vents are, it wouldnt happen, there smaller on the mk2 than one the mk3, plus, to remove the centre vents is as near as damn it a dash out job, as there held in with self tappers from the rear

[MK2 Jamie]

Stealing my ideas? Looks good mate, wish I had gone with black gauges now.

[knuckles]

Today i took a trip to top gear exhausts and this is the end result











St170 exhaust manifold just fits.
i drew a rough picture of what i wanted, the guys at top gear have done a cracking job !
2 custom pipes come down from the st manifold then join before meeting the mid section. They relocated the hego at the rear with a new boss. Then modified the mid section pipe with a new flexy and flange.

The Engine breathes so much more freely now. It just doesnt want to stop revving when you give it the beans.





Even managed to fit the original St170 heat shield.
Very tight squeeze indeed.

[Fraggle]

Not tempted to wrap the system where it passes under the sump fella?

Either way you've got that in their rather well, looks very comfy and very neatly done

[black2]

Looking very nice and neat, the entire install is looking very good tbh.

I hope you can enjoy it this time, a properly installed 2.0l zetec in a mk2 is a LOT of fun I assure you

Gareth.

[Tweek]

Looks good. Bet that sounds nice too!

[- Danny Boy -]

Very nice

[Excursion]

Lovely job

[jayrs]

as texts mate, very nice indeed

[knuckles]

Thanks for all your replies
Its been a long time waiting to get it to this stage.
After Fitp it will be treated to some megasquirt & thottle bodies




Wired these in earlier
spooky

[jonyb4]

wow i like that company, thats an awesome job!, bit of a sharp angle after the manifold but you dont have much room to be picky

very nice job you have done, and them gauges look so standard!

Sump plug adaptor with sender for oil temp guage




Oil pressure Sender plumbed in using a adaptor. Bit of a tight fit but i managed to work out the angle of the adaptor when tight to get the sender in.

Guages all plumbed in now

[- Danny Boy -]

Top notch stuff right there

[jayrs]

hope you used a sealent or PTFE tape on then senders mate.
i know they should be tappered thread but its always good to put something on the thread anyway

[jonyb4]

good stuff, ive always wanted more gauges to know whats going on in the bay

[knuckles]

hope you used a sealent or PTFE tape on then senders mate.
i know they should be tappered thread but its always good to put something on the thread anyway

Yep !
i used thread lock/seal on the senders & PTFE on the adaptor to block

It Finally made an appearance at ford fair !





opinions on the spots ?

[jonyb4]

stunning mate, even more so with the spots

[rsturbonutter]

All mk2's should have spots imo well a anything from the 80's

[hb69]

Dont like the spotlights tbh, but like the rest of the car alot

[MK2 Jamie]

What spots are they? I just put some original carello 640 on the Ghia and I can't get over how much better the high beams are now, it's unreal. Although I can't tell if I like the look of them. Not that it matters as they'll be going back on the 1.4S once its mot'ed.

[Tweek]

Undecided, needs a more distant pic

[dontpannic]

Love the spots. Whenever I see a MK2 without them I think they're missing. All MK2's should have spots IMO

[jayrs]

50/50 mate

they suit the car well, but i think for me, as xr2's had them, i got board of seeing mk2s with them and liked them with the spots, thats whay i always removed them, but they do suit the mk2.

i think ill have to see your car in the flesh to make my mind up

[~nomad~]

Yeah I am a bit 50/50. Will decide next time I see the car.

[black2]

Are they genuine Carello items? As they look a little large.

But I think they look better with them on especially with the XR2 kit as well.

Gareth

[knuckles]

They are just normal hella spot lamps but they mount on the proper ford brackets like the Carello lamps do.

The mk2 won't be seeing the xr2 body kit. I've thought about it but I prefer the car looking as standard as possible.
