yea but the misses and work also dot hat, just theyre better at it lol

[mrorange2]

I dont like snickers lol Mines more than sluggish i think the poor girl is past her best.

[jonyb4]

Seen a chevvy impala at the scrappy today, was nice since im a big supernatural fan



well it was inlet day today

comparisons of the So and Ho

gasket one is SO





So




Ho




SO left, HO and then 1.6



removing the Throttle body off the 1.6 wasnt easy, last owner used loctight and garden screws to hold it on


so cut off the bolts and removed all the sensors



ports were a bit merky


and polished them up




polished up the ISCV also




had to make a make shift gasket for it as the rubber one collapsed after i removed it from the 1.6 i need a new one

had some trouble getting it to idle right after it was back together, after some potching and some luck, it was ok, didnt drive it far as it was something past 11, but it felt more powerful and torque was higher

after a 2.0 ECU next, the mrs is looking for some cams for me at the same time, wink wink wayne

[moondustka]

cool - sounds like it's on it's way up then

[jonyb4]

currently running it witht he maf unplugged, bloody blighter isnt worth the trouble its causing so F it lol

[jonyb4]

desprate to get rtid of my heat soak problem, i tried to revert to the standard air box, but since this engine was never meant to sit in the mk4
its harder to get it to standard



drilled for better flow


VERY streched to fit as maf wouldnt fit in the box hole, a puma 1.7 box would have worked





it sounded good, and went ok, (at the time my maf was franked but i didnt know it was making it sluggish) so i blamed the airbox, with a better panel filter it would have worked

but i went back to induction kit, and decided to wrap the underside of the intake pipes in silver stickyback foil


i gotta admit i didnt expexct much, but f**k me it works a treat, the pipes bearly get hot, compared tot he rocker cover theyre lukewarm, event he silicon hoses get hotter and they are usually cool compared, so heatsoak has been defeated to a degree,could still do with a better cold air feed



also i fitted my spare maf, ive never known what its for maybe a 2.0 the way it can hunt on idle, bt atleast its given my power back without having to unplug the maf and lose 10mpg :?
so im glad its running sweet again

[Ratspeed]

good news buddy

[Dave G fsi]

All sounds good mate!

Hope I get to see/hear her at the rr day!

[jonyb4]

cheers chaps

sorry dave bout its unlikely ill be coming tot hat, its a bit unviable for me to travel that far considering theres a RR within 20miles of me, and i wont have the car set up how i want it by then

hope you have a good day though mate

[dontpannic]

Nice to see you've put the standard air box back in. A far cry from when you told me whats the point of putting the air box back in:

sounds like alot of work for a bit of noise, a £12 ebay cone filter would do perfectly, and will look better

How times change eh? LOL. Noticed a difference in MPG?

[Excursion]

I will have some 2.0 cams if you're interested?

[Dave G fsi]

Fair enough though mate, it is abit out of your way!

Maybe next time

[jonyb4]

sorry mate but read up again, the box is back out, was rattling around, i thought it was slowing it down, so i took it back out, so back to standard cone its always had lol

I will have some 2.0 cams if you're interested?

ou have a Pm mate

[jonyb4]

Today i decided to strip the rear beam off the car and repaint, and correctly convert it to have an Anti roll bar

to be an extended job the capri was once again kicked out of the garage

nicely fresh painted garage floor too

so back end all stripped, wheels, hubs, suspension struts and beam off, noticed that one of my wheel studs was chewed up, so lucky i had a spare off the fronts from when i fitted the longer ones the other day
so that was replaced, cant joke around with wheel nuts...




excuse my hanging the hubs on the brake lines


started to drill the holes needed for the inside mountings, the minion at work good job matt



one side finished, the cutout shouldnt alter the beam structually to much, need to use some washers too



then it was time to strip it back down and paint it


and the Arb



hoping to take the arch linings off tomorrow and red hammerite under them, silver is so not a good idea, rust shows through and gets really dirty quick! hammerite red is a good colour match to radiant red anywhoo

get it built back up and see what this arb can do
im certain standard mk4 beamsare stronger than mk3 ones, seems to have more and bigger re-enforcement on it

[jonyb4]

just noticed how bad that first pic looks lol

need a new fuel tank, need to paint up my spare and treat/paint the carrier

[Minstral]

think its safe to say you need a new spare wheel carrier. never seen rust that bad on one

[jonyb4]

lol its not one of them ones, its a skimpy type one, more frame than sheet

[mada01]

just get rid of it and save some weight haha

i know how much a pain taking the ream beam off is and refitting it!

[- Danny Boy -]

Ohhhhhhhhhh JONY.... haha. Looking sweet mate, keep up the good work

[Pumatt]

LOL....I am a bit like your minion these days!
And that spare wheel holder is off my old fiesta which was a 99 and had no rust elsewhere odd.

[moondustka]

Good work

[jonyb4]

continuing


















buying waynes cams tomorrow so 130bhp soon

if anyone has a pre pats 2.0 ECU for sale please let me know, im after one

[xr2irhys]

looking good , as for your neons why not wire them to the remote on the amp , which means will come on with the stereo rather than on a switch

your rear chaissis rails dont look to good

[jonyb4]

aye suface rust plotted all over underneath

as for the boot lights, i dont want them on all the time, the switch is only for when leaving the boot open too long, they light up when the boots opened via the switch on the pin connector plate, you just open the boot and they come on

[mrorange2]

Looking good mate not a fair of neons but each to there own.

Keep up good work. Look forward to hearing what you think to the 130bhp setup!

[jonyb4]

cheers mate, if you swap me your RS ecu ill let you know how the 130 is

[mrorange2]

Dont think my RS ECU will work with it mines a PATS one. Ask Ratty he might have a early RS1800 ecu from his.

[Smo]

PATS is a separate system on all MK3s that were fitted with it - it's completely stand alone from the ECU

[knuckles]

think its safe to say you need a new spare wheel carrier.

LOL

[fiend]

Might want to use some rope or a bungee cord to hold the drum up, look how stretched the brake hose is!

[jonyb4]

unfortuanatly matts ecu is a OFAB/C one so it wont have an edis, wont run my late zetec engine

you sure no mk3's had pats internally simon? speaking for all mk3's including 3.5's or just mk3s


yea wasnt clever of me to leave the hubs hanging like that should have put a paint tin under them lol

and the carrier honestly hasnt ratted much, its meant to be skimpy like that

[moondustka]

and the carrier honestly hasnt ratted much, its meant to be skimpy like that

Just ditch the whole thing - i did less weight

[jonyb4]

lol i am for now, i liek to be able to see my rear beam

cant wait for these cams

[mrorange2]

Jony, Matts RS1800 ran on a 2FDC ECU not OFAB\C the chip i got off him was programmed for the 2FDC.

[jonyb4]

what you mean mate?
