lol f**k off

I was actually being serious

[jonyb4]

lol whats quality about it, just my accent

does it have a good tone or something :S

lol cheers if you meant it in a good way

[FiestaBen]

I just like welsh accents, make me laugh lol plus I'm quarter welsh lol

I just sound like a stuck up Londoner..... even though I don't live in London

[jonyb4]

plus I'm quarter welsh lol

oh well now you've said that

[jonyb4]

my mate popped round in his new golf GTi mk2,( 2.0 with only 110bhp must be the 8v? ) at 11 with my new tyres, part worns obviously

Admiral 195/45/15s, thought id drop downt o 45s to help my alloys look better, tenner each


started with my new wheel first, this old bitych was a swine to get off, but with some perservearance and a hammer lol it give up to my opression!


then fitted my mk3 item i got the other week

and then on with this beauty



hated this part, but i will try to fit a mk3 item once its on the road, didnt keep one from my si, atm i have no horn :S copudlnt fit mk3 stalks either pin design is completely different



then got the bonnets lights and wiring all sorted



well actually the bonnet etc was after this, but order is messed up lol

i wir3ed up the new immobiliser, which may atm be giving me jip, sometimes the car wont turn over, maybe a wire is loose, didnt take any during shots for obvious reason




for them who doubted the bonnet would shut, (rob *cough)


the passengers caliper is painted with its first coat, will fit it tomorrow and sort the fluid out, shoudl be ont he road later tomorrow

ill tak eit for a spin round the village with out the bumper, see if its all ok (have the plate in the screen )

the traccking is gonna be a mile out, and i need more coolant, also bumper needs painting and the car needs a good ash, but apart from that, Oh and change tyres, its good to go

[FiestaBen]

plus I'm quarter welsh lol

oh well now you've said that

[mtbdean]

Looking good. Can you just wire up your horn to a push button, the one where you push it and release it, not a toggle switch?

[jonyb4]

well yea thats the idea, but where to put it

[dontpannic]

well yea thats the idea, but where to put it

Somewhere on the dash near the steering wheel Perhaps to the left, just above the headlight adjuster?

[dontpannic]

Look what I've just found...

[FezzyGTI]

Them lights are right nice

[MB7201]

Those lights are sold, saw them on ebay last week.

[jonyb4]

hmm i do liek the morretts, but theyre very expensive and id have to cut the slat int he grill out and grill it black

[jonyb4]

car is almost finished, drove it out of the garage today, but i hadent bleed the clutch right, and it soon went spongy, so had to push it back in, it was too late to carry on so in for tonight,

but its all done except, front bumper, fan switch, bleeding brakes (back also) new fluid too and needs more antifreeze, but my battery is flat agian, im preying that the alternator is wired up right, mine checked the battery acid levels, they were shocking ly low, so toppe dit up with water (i live in the vallies, water here is naturally de-ionised )

video of running from yesterday, silenced here

after i stalled with lights on
so needed jumping again


back in


it idles poor when warm

[jonboisescort]

looking good mate

the poor idling could be a temp sensor get it plugged into a diagnostic machine

[jonyb4]

will that work now im using two ecu's?

id thought the reading be blank as it aint running ont he 1.3 ecu

im hoping its just [ERRR] im running it with a dead battery

[jonboisescort]

your using a fiesta si engine loom arnt you??

if you are theres two plugs a 3 pin and a 2 pin that should have red covers in these are the diagnostic plugs for the si loom

[jonyb4]

where now? near the maf sensor plug? on the same part of wiring? theres three connectors blanked off


turns out that the clutch isnt biting, been talking to a local mechanic, he reckons that it could be the thrust bearing is thicker ont he 1.3 box then would have been on a 1.8 set up

hence not fully allowing the clutch to disengage, which is why i only get a smidge of bite at the top of the pedal

so off to the motor factors tomorrow to ask if i can view the kit for a 1.8 zetec and fro the 1.3 hcs and measure the bearings to see if and what the difference is, likely theyre is, if so the box is gonna have to come out :evil:

very anoying this, and ill see if the ebaring ont he 1.8 gearbox can fit it, if not a new clutch kit it is :roll:

ill be driving the green mk3 for now then, its taking too long this and using insurance up and wasting money

[jonboisescort]

yes there should be 2 black plugs and a white plug the 2 black ones are for the diagnostics

[MB7201]

The clutch bearings are completely different, you won't be able to change it. Have a look at the old flywheel/ clutch and see if there is any difference

[jonyb4]

i cant, the old engine is sold a week ago

why wont they be able to be swapped?, this is the same gearbox as on any hsc were talking about here?

[MB7201]

But one box is hydraulic and the other is cable isn't it?

[jonyb4]

yes
mk4 is hydrualic, only change is theres no fork mechansism, a master cylinder is there instead, the bearing slides ontot he main shaft like any other ive seen, and the master cyl pushes it out

just liek a fork in a conventional box, ill inspect the escort box tomorrow, and compare with the haynes diagrams, also gonna check the differecnes with each clutch kit at the factors tomorrow

couldnt i use an alternative clutch kit? one that sits closer to the flywheel or the pressure plate sits clsoer tot he flywheel?

basicly to even out the extra thickness of the 1.3 bearing

what are xr2i kits like? do they fit the zetec?

[dangerousdave]

what are xr2i kits like? do they fit the zetec?

i used the xr2i flywheel drilled the holes out to fit the zetec then used the xr2i clutch box and bearing dunno if the 2i clutch will fit the splines in you box tho??

[jonyb4]

well if you used a standard zetec gearbox, and a 2i clutch, surely my zetec clutch is fitting my hcs box, so yea lol theres a solid relation there, it should do,

i just need to find the right combination of release bearing and clutch, to get the right measurements

ill try to compare a 1.3, 1.8 escort oen and a 2i one then if they have each

[- Danny Boy -]

IT RUNS!!! Thought i would post something in here for the hell of it even though ive spoke to you on msn about it lol

[jonyb4]

lol also a week late lol

[- Danny Boy -]

Shut up GAY

[dangerousdave]

ill try to compare a 1.3, 1.8 escort oen and a 2i one then if they have each

i used a chv xr2i box as mines a mk3 xr2i j reg dunno if there the same as the zetec 2i or not tho buddy??

[jonyb4]

danny you female provider of 'horizontal refreshment'


and cheers anyway dave

[jonyb4]

danny you female provider of 'horizontal refreshment'

lol what the heck?! i never wrote that


umm ive been asking around been up to see a bloke running a body shop near me, hes got a mk5 zetec s with a puma lump, and rare Frp spacro seats in it also a P reg rst looker with a RS2000 engine in it running near 180bhp

anyway he reckons is deffo the clutch, and that i should try for another that match, i suggested a diesel one as they could handle the torque from the 1.8, then coming home i decied that the diesel box altogether would be best as theyre stronger and have the better ratio's, the 2.0 ZT puma in Febs Fast ford mag had the derv box, seems it was just bolted straight on, mind that had a LSD fitted too

can anyone confirm that this diesel combination will work?

[Minstral]

get the erst box and have an lsd

[jonyb4]

oh forgot to say, it has to be a mk4/5 box as i dont want to go through the work of making custom mounts for it, AND i dont want to convert my car to cable clutch mech, too much work

[jonyb4]

ive had bit of an epiffany, cant i get away with fitting a spacer plate to the gearbox? in between the block and box?

also id rather be over the top with its thickness rather than under, i dont need the clutch to fully press down,a s you can stil change gear with only it pressed at a quater, but too little and i wont grip the clutch

anyone got any idea how thick of a plate? and what i can use as the plate? i was thinking just fitting a few zetec sandwich plates, maybe another 2?

[Ruishy1]

It depends on how far you have to space it mate, and how much of the input shaft is located in spigot ring.
use gearbox spacers untill you have the right position, measure how thick it is.
Then you need to know how much you have situated in the spigot, if you dont have enough you will need a custom one machined up.
