I spoke to you ages ago before i came here about what it was like here, only briefly though.

Im on the aero eng course here.

[pattouk]

Can't beat diesel power, I should know, lol. Mi Pug 306 1.9Tdi punches out 92bhp @ 1900-4500rpm, and 147lb/ft @ 1850-4500rpm. I also get 50+ mpg .

[heeman10]

Oh yeah I remember How are you finding the course? Not much free time is there? Auto and Aero have to be some of the hardest courses in the country, no BS.

pattouk - yeah TDI power rocks. Where abouts are you located? I'm after ppl with TDI cars to rate mine! Gonna be in Preston on Sunday with it if you fancy coming from wherever you are

[pattouk]

I live in Hucknall matie. I won't be able to meet though, as my car's going in for repair, as I've ploughed into the side of someone who pulled out on me ! I'm claiming off his insurnace as being as its his fault, I get the cortesy car tomorrow, yay.

[heeman10]

Oh no! Sorry to hear that I definitely need to put it up against a 306 D Turbo

[Classkeeper]

Yeah its going well. Some really hard modules like the thermo and fluids.
Its not too busy, i maybe get about 4 hours a day maximum so not too bad.

[heeman10]

Yeah thermo and fluids are quite hard, but some of the best modules on the course I think. Second year is quite mental hours-wise I think...Auto was 35 hours a week in first year for me I think, so maybe Aero takes up slightly less time. Will be down in Lufbra on Sat May 15th if I'm going to FITP

[Classkeeper]

I think its pretty much the same cuz we share most of the modules and then have a few hour of just aero. What halls were you in first year? Im in butler court.

[heeman10]

I was in Bill Mo, then had a house for my second first year Will be weird driving around looking at it all again!

[Stoned]

Fantastic!

Well played both. That looks a mint coversion and I bet it goes very nicely too. Get your car loaded up with ppl and see the look on the FRST lad's faces when you pull away with all that torque!

[heeman10]

lol It's not quite quick enough to dispose of standard FRST's Chris....yet

Mark, How 'easy' was it to get the engine in a fez?

Mark, How 'easy' was it to get the engine in a fez?

Well mate, I didn't find it too bad to be honest....but I do enjoy doing stuff like this. Having said that it wasnt without it's problems. I spent a few nights cursing the damn thing and a fair bit of time researching. I know a bit more about Diesels and their management now though.

I'm creating a new fiestaproejcts site as we speak, so you can read for yourself soon enough

[Excursion]

I wonder who is going to be the first to stick the mondeo zetec-s TDCi engine in a mk3

2.0 16v TDCi? I'm on it.

[Max M4X WW]

And ill buy it from you Mark

In a year or two...

[petet]

what intercooler is that you're running?

[Max M4X WW]

Sorry to answer for him, He can let you know what model its from but its a SAAB one

[heeman10]

SAAB 9000. I don't suppose anyone knows what pressure it's rated to?!?! Or where I can find out? Anyone work for SAAB?

[Max M4X WW]

Not allready, Hope it didnt cost too much. As im sure you will be wanting one of these soon...



?

[heeman10]

lol Wellll I wouldn't mind, but I'm happy with what I have for now..can't be arsed chopping my bumper up really, I'm not getting THAT serious yet

[Max M4X WW]

Others have preoved you dont need to anyway, Like StreetDragster. Cant find pics tho

[mattbibs]

chop that bumper up!!! u know u wana!

[heeman10]

I love the RS bumper too much to do that! I don't know what gains are to be had yet, nor do I know what my ACT's are (wouldn't mind some guidance on that - what's needed to monitor them etc ), but it'll stay as it is for now certainly

[mattbibs]

u want to know how to measure ACTs?

urm an ACT gauge!!

buy them off nomad for around £50!

[heeman10]

Yeah just never seen one fitted, so don't know what they consist of, what form the gauges take (ie are they 52mm and fit in a standard pod?) etc. I'll take a look at the Nomad site.

[heeman10]

Hmm digital eh?


Shame they don't do analogue - would fit the age of the car better! I guess it could be fitted somewhere to look ok...

[mattbibs]

can be easily fitted as a replacement for your clock. but im mounting mine on the steering column!

[heeman10]

Mm I have an idea or two, will have to have a look when I'm reunited with my car in a week or two MOT first tho

[mattbibs]

by the way - i know a bloke who sells them with a blue light instead of green if u wanted!

[heeman10]

Quality - my interior has a blue theme after all

[mattbibs]

contact mike on 01508 557822.

they at the early stages of production at the mo. so not available yet & price is not certain. but should imagine its around £50!

[heeman10]

Thanks for that
