minston2 :nah i'd go back to the others, to me they look like painted steelies.

Haha.

I like them!

by **hb69** on Tue May 22, 2007 11:41 pm

cheers for the comments. i still havent decided wether to fit the steelies yet, i will probably respray them white and see what i think then

ive made a few adjustments over the last week or so, firstly i fitted a 2.0 throttle body, the picture below shows the difference in size between the 1.6, and 2.0 tb

i have noticed less low down tourque but much more power in the mid range, it still seemed to be holding back a bit, today i changed the spark plugs and HT leads and the acceleration is now spot on

and after posting pictures in this thread

http://www.fiestaturbo.com/forums/hb69-and-capri-steves-twilight-photos-vt152727/

i took the advice of several people and invested in some new number plates, i only got round to taking a picture of the rear plate, but as i was told, it has made such a difference to the appearance

by **heeman10** on Tue May 22, 2007 11:43 pm

lol you little nobber. It's mean to be clean/shiny AND new number plate, not clean/shint OR new number plate! :bonkers:

heeman10 :lol you little nobber. It's mean to be clean/shiny AND new number plate, not clean/shint OR new number plate!

hard to believe i polished it for those pictures 2 days ago

by **heeman10** on Tue May 22, 2007 11:47 pm

Yeah, it's shocking what a touch of moisture and some flying dust will do

by **hb69** on Tue May 22, 2007 11:49 pm

the last two or three times ive cleaned and polished the car, it has rained non stop the next day, one day it will stay clean for at least 24 hours :lol:

by **Smo** on Wed May 23, 2007 12:48 am

So the plugs and leads sorted the problem Henry?

by **hb69** on Wed May 23, 2007 1:03 pm

well changing the plugs and leads has helped the problem, the acceleration was pretty brutal last night, it still bogs down a little in 4th and 5th, im putting it down to the 1.6 inlet though, and egr and cat :aaah:

so much power i have yet to unleash

by **bakewell001** on Wed May 23, 2007 2:06 pm

Nice work there Henry. Could have got those plates cheaper online but at least you've got some.

by **hb69** on Wed May 23, 2007 4:25 pm

i got a bit impatient and wanted them straight away :lol:

unfortunately means i end up spending more

pic of the front plate

they do make it look so much better, such a small thing that i never really notice, makes it look alot cleaner

by **Smo** on Wed May 23, 2007 4:32 pm

Sooooooooo much better! And there is one advantage of Halfords's plates, and that's that you don't see their name on it unless you really look, but are completely legal

by **Max M4X WW** on Fri May 25, 2007 6:01 pm

Just very expensive!

by **hb69** on Mon Jul 30, 2007 2:49 pm

with ford fair at the end of the week, and me being off work all week too

i can get some jobs done on the car, ive slowly been taking bits of the interior out over the last few weeks, aiming to strip nearly all the interior trim eventually

and today i fitted my rs1800 inlet and sandwich plate, which is clearly bigger than the 1.6 item thats been on since i fitted the engine

rs1800 sandwich plate is the bottom one, 1.6 si at the top

and the inlet manifold, rs1800 at the bottom again

there is noticeably less low down torque now, but the engine pulls throughout the revs, with a pronounced kick at 4k

lots of fun

by **Smo** on Tue Jul 31, 2007 12:28 am

Excellent stuff there, Henry

I better get a move on with mine or you'll be able to catch up soon

by **hb69** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 11:52 am

after impressing me with a 6.95second 0-60 at ford fair, my car had another trick up its sleeve. yesterday i went to a corsasport.co.uk rolling road day at engine advantages in essex.

mine got 148.8bhp @5774rpm and 150.9 lbft torque. which has suprised me quite a bit. some people are a bit sceptical of the accuracy of the rollers, all i have to go on is that standard cars were making around there expected output, and that hopefully my result is a sign i have a healthy engine. i took some pictures while i was there

outside

by **HYBRIDFEZ** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 12:38 pm

your car really is sweet henry, imo just needs the blue strips on the sides :bonkers:

by **bakewell001** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 1:33 pm

You have a magical engine Henry...

Website · by **Ollybee** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 1:37 pm

That's healthy power figure!

by **hb69** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 2:56 pm

hybridfez-cheers, if i find some mint blue stripes, then ill put them back on

steve-

by **Raymondo** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 6:13 pm

Brilliant figure there, you must be happy with that

Is that totally standard?

by **thorny** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 6:42 pm

Website · by **Ollybee** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 8:04 pm

I got that too.

by **knuckles** on Mon Aug 13, 2007 9:29 pm

That is one healthy power figure.

You just beat me :lol:

by **hb69** on Tue Aug 14, 2007 1:07 am

raymondo-its pretty much standard, just an air filter, and im using an rs1800 inlet. think thats all really, all the rest are 1.6 si parts.

thorny- i was nervous, dont like seeing my car redlined :lol:

jay and ollybee- new video uploaded, with the full 42 seconds

http://youtube.com/watch?v=m8YV2z81UPE

clark- just beating you is good enough for me

by **jayrs** on Tue Aug 14, 2007 1:14 am

good.

you do look a bit worried to start with :lol:

by **FRSJON** on Tue Aug 14, 2007 9:06 pm

nice power mate...ive been on there rollers and they were spot on

by **onslack** on Tue Aug 14, 2007 9:35 pm

hb69 :raymondo-its pretty much standard, just an air filter, and im using an rs1800 inlet. think thats all really, all the rest are 1.6 si parts.

thats an excellent power figure

mine made 126.6bhp and 125ft/lb of torque at street racers :oops:

my engine is knocking on the door of 145k tho :lol:

by **hb69** on Wed Aug 15, 2007 3:53 pm

the engines on 88k now, i dont know what other variables there are that could have made my power so high, it has a 2.0 throttle body, and aside from that it really is just 1.6 si parts
