You'd have to get an exhaust place to make up some pipe by the looks of it.

Just get a normal 1.6/1.8 zetec manifold for now. They are both exactly the same and cheap enough to pick up im sure!

[Michael!]

cheers man, yeah jony text me and said id have to have it sorted.

so far ive found a brand new downpipe on ebay for £40 posted so im going to that.

so far now ive got the Rs1800 engine, ecu, loom etc... stainless mid section and backbox. ordering that down pipe off ebay, hopefully getting a radiator off someone on here.
so thats it pretty much i should have all parts ready for saturday this week and then i can sort it by ford fair and have a fun drive down!


looking at brakes currently, thinking about sticking with the 240's but getting grooved (vented) rs turbo disks and some ferodo pads as my experince with them has been pretty good.

anyone got opinions re brakes?

payment for the lock up where my things we put has come into despute and the guy isnt giving me them back... even though its not my lockup and its my property...

so, lost my rear beam and most of my tools...
what can i do?

[dontpannic]

???

If its your property then its your property... Just because its in someone elses lockup means sod all...

[jonyb4]

Go get your stuff lol, if he says no, ring the police as its quite literally theft

[rsturbonutter]

And if the police won't help gently persuade him by means of force

[Michael!]

just been down to get it. its gone.

[dontpannic]

call the police......?

[fezza89]

My council garages are the same. If i dont pay the rent they reserve the right to sell the contents and change the locks.did he make you sign a contract?

[Michael!]

im at work, missed my lunch to go get my stuff as, its not my unit so i dunno, two mates were sharing it, they fell out over one not wanting it anymore and now the lads f**cked off with all our stuff, wouldnt mind but hes been saying i can go get it for ages then stalling - now i know why, going round to his later to sort it out, guess im going to be out of pocket and f**cked when it comes to getting this engine done now...



today has been a s**t day.

[- Danny Boy -]

Take a crow bar and/or a baseball bat. Break a few fingers if he doesn't give you the stuff, then move onto things like knee caps. That'll make him get your stuff. Take a mate or two with you too, just to be on the safe side.

[Michael!]

taking a few mates and a van round haha, im not een that arsed as its only parts. just the principle.

i know where he has another garage anyway so if i dont get them back we'll see how he likes it.

[HCS PIMP]

I would never advise violence or agrivated assault. Posting it on the internet is even more unadviseable becuase if something does happen
means and motive. also anyone who advised such action can be seen as having a hand in it.
Personally I'd go to the local police station report the theft give a statement and keep cool
calm people solve problems, agression and violence breeds violence

[Michael!]

I was joking about my mates and a van

I've text him so I'm waiting for him to reply and get it sorted

[FiestaBen]

Go get your stuff lol, if he says no, ring the police as its quite literally theft

No it's not.

"taking property belonging to another with the intention of permenantly depriving the other of it"

Bet the guy isn't planning on keeping it. Especially as he has said to go and get it, even if he is stalling

Civil matter, but if you have a key, just go and get it.

[Michael!]

No he said he's sold it to cover the rent - even though I don owe him anything. I'm annoyed, worst day this year too, s**t people.

[FiestaBen]

When did he say that? Only earlier did you say he was stalling?

If he's sold it, it's theft. If he hasn't, it's not theft and it becomes civil.

Onwards from that, how much does your insurance go up with the new engine? Must be quite a drop from the 1.1 to 1.8! You'll be in for fun and games with DVLA llama, they're crap at anything like this

[Michael!]

He's just messin me about saying all sorts. My insurance goes up £45 a month, making it a touch under £200 but it's worth it and I can easily affor it. It's cheaper than an actual rs1800 too

[jonyb4]

a touch under £200???



thanks ben the nazi...

if hes refusing to give someones items back to them, its simply fudgekin theft, no other word for it really

[Michael!]

went to kfc on my lunch just now, and the exhaust started to blow, REALLY badly out of nowhere from the rear silencer. and my bottom ends rattling, turns out theres an oil leak and its emtpy.

good job im picking the other engine up tonight is all im saying...

[FiestaBen]

a touch under £200???



thanks ben the nazi...

No it's not. Like I highlighted in bold, unless be plans on permenantly keeping them, it's not theft. That is the definition of theft... Trust me.

Just because he is refusing, doesn't mean he plans on keeping them, he could just be playing the t*** until he gets something in return, or if he sells them, then it becomes theft.

Finished arguing?

[Michael!]

bens right, but doesnt change the fact he has my stuff

[HCS PIMP]

why not drop a zetec lump in the car or a 1.6 cvh engine ??

[hb69]

Wouldnt bother with the standard frst/xr2i brakes, they arent good, and grooved/drilled/vented etc make such a neglegeble difference you would be better off spending the money on fiesta st brakes as they are very good

[jonyb4]

havent been paying attention have you lol



im never going to stop recommending RS2000 brakes and a escort/mondeo servo, practical to have 14" wheels +, and trust me!! my car stops like f**k

Cheers Henry that's what I was after I'll look into it...

[FiestaBen]

I know mate, frustrating I understand, especially as it's over someone elses issue!! Have you tried explaining this to him? Just so you can separate yourself and just leave them to it?

[Michael!]

For my engine today, gonna give it a freshen up as its most certainly seen better days... But still have the little nighle at the back of my head about doing it...

And don't think I'll be a ford fair in it...


Yeah I've tried Ben, he's just a 'conquering device'

[hb69]

just fit it and go to ford fair in it

[Tweek]

just fit it and go to ford fair in it

What he said.

[Michael!]

It needs tlc and my car needs new bottom arms etc... Doesn't feel right


Also need parts like radiator etc

[jonyb4]

women with PMS have less mood changes than you

[Michael!]

I have pms, BADLY


Going to get some more goodies tomorrow do will update with engine etc accordingly
I'm not getting rid! Just disheartened especially as - yet again this is my daily and when things go wrong I have to put up with them !

[Michael!]

Just spent £200+ on parts so expect a bit update soon!
