Well dunno about the inside diameter bit the outside of the 2.0/rs 18 one is 60mm

[Pumatt]

I'm glad you put pics up of the fuel tank, I'm in process of removing mine atleast i know how it looks.

The car looks like its coming along well, looking forward to seing the end result. I've always wanted a fiesta zetec s, one with a tidy engine would make my day. Maybe even a mag feature?

i could only ever hope for a mag feature but there is quite a few zs with good engines in a guy over on zsoc has a rs turbo engine in and a few are going for the 2.0 engine now

if i can sell my coilovers and get some standard shocks and springs which mite of arranged with a guy im tempted to buy a st170 engine for it

ooo, how much would you want for the collies? i have standard springs and shocks on the puma but i think they are different fitment was mine has earlier rear beam and your has later.

[leighk2010]

i stil in to minds what to do with them as i want better spec ones but nice having them on the car already lol i had quite a few good offers over £300 but then either they or i back out lol

[leighk2010]

woop st170 exhaust manifold on the way!

[leighk2010]

not the best update in the world and sorry for crap pics cant find the camera

jony would'nt pay £75 thats all

[jonyb4]

nope just payed £90 for the ashley one that is easier to fit

[leighk2010]

haha easier to fit for you mayb i wont need to mod this in any way for my engine and its already stainless steel not mild

[jonyb4]

you will certainly need to modify it to fit the rest of your system

[leighk2010]

you will certainly need to modify it to fit the rest of your system

what system me no has one ill just get a system made up to suit to the manifold plus i only want a 2 inch tip so will be best to go custom any way

[jonyb4]

dont be daft, cant have a tiny 2inch on it mun will look poo, get a nice 3-4incher on it

that sounds slightly wrong

[leighk2010]

dont be daft, cant have a tiny 2inch on it mun will look poo, get a nice 3-4incher on it

that sounds slightly wrong

there no need for such a big tip jut looks chavy

and it sounds how ever you want it to johny boy

[jonyb4]

dont forget, most aftermarket tips the internals are smaller than the external diamerter, could even restrict!

[leighk2010]

well not much of a update but slowly coming together

[jonyb4]

looking good mate, like the white

[leighk2010]

cheers john boy its slowy getting there

[jonyb4]

theres no h in my name

[leighk2010]

well after a bit of thinking i'm going to modifiy the blacktop sump to suit the gear box i have and go for the mtx75 gear box at a later date, as looking into quite a few people have to do this to run certain boxs on there kits cars as well, and doing this atm makes more sense as i already have the shafts etc to suite and will bring me one,step closer to been compeleted quicker.

[jonyb4]

better plan imo, find someone who can weld alloy

[leighk2010]

will be going the mtx75 route at some point as the plan overall for the car will be a st170 engine mated to mtx75 box or a focus rs box but want the car dun and running so this will be the plan for now, hopefully going to look tomorrow why i'm up the garage but should not need welding as its a case of just removing some of the webbing on the side of the sump

[rs220bhp]

You can run a silvertop sump on the blacktop to save cutting to fit the starter. We chopped my mates one and it gets very close. Take you time as its easy to ruin the sump

[jonyb4]

the sump adds the some of the blacktops rigity mind you

am tempted to fit the silver top sump but i sold the one i had as thought was not needed, and when i change the box to a mtx75 at some point will just source a new sump again i think this is just tempt to allow me to make more progess with the car, will be carefull when cutting you no what they say "can always take more off than putting it back"

[jonyb4]

Well if you cut too far and ruin it, then go for a silvertop sump

[leighk2010]

been up to the garge today and been looking how much i need to cut out the sump and its quite a chunck also the zetec s starter motor i have here does not fit so will need to soruce a diffrent motor really losing heart in this project engine and gear box mite well be up for sale

[jonyb4]

no dont mate, come on these are only little issues, your putting an einge that was never meant to be in that car in, its not gonna be easy, you knew that before you started

[leighk2010]

i no was not going to be easy its more because lack of funds etc atm as work is going really sh*t so no income to keep things coming the engine i have needs a rebuild really, need to soruce a slivertop sump and new starter motor etc , dont think ill be happy with the car why using the bodged sump etc would much rather have the mtx75 box in with the rear starter but then this is yet all money i dont have atm

[jonyb4]

just hang in there man, you will be enjoying it again soon

[rs220bhp]

Whats the gearbox out of mate? I have a few zetec starters i can send you one if you cover the postage, Help get things moving again.

its a hddi box out of a mk5 fiesta so dont think the zetec ones would fit, im looking for more info on how to run the slivertop sump on the blacktop engine and if this will make the engine any worse as jony says the sump is what gives the blacktop engine some of its strength

[jonyb4]

aye some, but how much can a hollow piece of alloy with " slightly better webbing" actually provide?

its worth a shot with the zetec starter, its the same block and flywheel at end of the day
