Minstral :too much arch gap here

I know, it's really bugging me. As soon as some second hand coilovers come up for sale I'll have them.

Wasn't sure at first but now their on the car.............. they look spot on!!

by **MK2 Jamie** on Fri May 06, 2011 9:13 pm

Picked up a roof rack for cheaper yesterday. I like it, I just need to cut the legs on it so it sits closer to the roof. Also got a new rear bumper as the old one was really ratty (Thanks Ken) and the chrome was missing. I've put new chrome in the bumper and all the side moldings down the drivers side, hopefully I should get the passengers side done before FITP.

Very nice Jamie! Once the roof rack sits closer to the car it should look even better

by **MK2 Jamie** on Fri May 06, 2011 9:20 pm

Yea hopefully, it's way too high at the moment :lol:

Funny you should mention an old leather suitcase as there will be one on the roof rack for fitp :wink:

by **rs-tom** on Sat May 07, 2011 12:37 am

car is nice . not a fan of any roof rack though ever

by **emblem** on Sat May 07, 2011 9:12 am

Love it Jamie,

Can't wait to see this next weekend.

by **rst-steve** on Sat May 07, 2011 2:30 pm

Looks awesome and the fresh chrome striping is just a small touch that really makes a difference and freshens it all up a bit

Defo looking forward to seeing this little beast at FITP

by **dontpannic** on Sat May 07, 2011 7:49 pm

Nice rack!

Love it Jamie. Bit of drainpipe and some baguettes on there I think

Bring a briefcase too

by **MK2 Jamie** on Sun May 29, 2011 11:18 pm

As a few people know I made some pretty big claims at fitp about booking track time at ford fair and taking on toby on the track :lol:

well today I started the wheels in motion. I'll let the pictures below do the talking. Plans for the engine are fast road cam, twin 40 down draft carbs, 4-2-1 and maybe some head work. Id like 120-130bhp ideally.

In the back of the MK2:

Stripped down to just the block and head...in a sledge:

Markings on the head:

bra

nice lump - hope you give it a good flush out if its been sat for a while.
remember you will need to upgrade the fuel feed line to a 8mm pipe if yours aint already a 8mm.

shouldt need to change tank as you keeping the car side of things

by **jonyb4** on Mon May 30, 2011 12:05 am

by **dontpannic** on Mon May 30, 2011 9:53 am

Haha thats a 1.6 cvh, no idea if its a hemi head or not

Not too difficult to get that slotted in :aviator:

by **MK2 Jamie** on Mon May 30, 2011 2:06 pm

Yep 1.6 CVH. Its an early one out of a mk3 Escort so chances are it is a Hemi head. Hope find out later today when I get the head off.

by **jonyb4** on Mon May 30, 2011 2:10 pm

whats a hemi head then?

by **MK2 Jamie** on Mon May 30, 2011 2:15 pm

The have bigger inlet and exhaust valves (If I remember correctly) than the post 86 heads know as lean burn heads. Hemi heads as standard produce between 5-7bhp more over a lean burn head

by **Fraggle** on Mon May 30, 2011 2:23 pm

Could av bought my sport fella...1.4 equipped.. :lol:

Oh cack you got a 1.6..I stay away from suffolk now,You tan me up now :cry:

Nice buy..If you Need any pics of a cvh equipped one for reference fella jus ask.. :wink:

sounds a peach, ripe for turboing

throw some RS pistons in and you got it underway

by **MK2 Jamie** on Mon May 30, 2011 3:01 pm

Turboing it is tempting but I'm gunna keep it old school with carbs. I'm not looking for stupid power. A mk2 with 140bhp has the same power to weight ratio as a 4x4 saph cossie apparently?

by **Ratspeed** on Mon May 30, 2011 4:57 pm

Its gonna be fairly quick with that bunged in

by **Smo** on Mon May 30, 2011 4:57 pm

Proper engine!

by **hb69** on Mon May 30, 2011 5:45 pm

Smo :Proper engine!

In a proper sledge

by **MK2 Jamie** on Mon May 30, 2011 6:29 pm

The sledge went well with that CVH in it. Never got a chance to get it on the rollers before I started taking the engine apart though.

by **MK2 Jamie** on Mon May 30, 2011 6:43 pm

Got the head off. It was a proper asshole to get off. Snapped a head bolt in the process but the good news is it's a Hemi head :aviator:

Bad picture of just the block:

The money shot. Full moon combustion chambers confirms it's a Hemi:
