[jonyb4]

good news mate

[russ-RST]

well im a very happy kid today iv just been sent my contract thru for my new job and am very chuffed with how much money i shall be on on my basic hours lets just say its around twice what iv been on on my previous jobs

so now the question is

comp TH,sharktooth alloys, or escos wheels??
im not sure as i think all 3 wuld look kool as fcuk on the fezza

what do people think?

ideally i dont wanna have to do too much work to avoid scrubbing issues aswell

[jonyb4]

sharktooths

[russ-RST]

yeah i am thinking about it just dont see many sets up for sale even on PF

[rs220bhp]

Ill sell you my set i have, they have been paint stripped and just need sanding back and painting. One is already done black and thats the one in my sig.

I have just got some comp TH's so i no longer need these. Thecomps and sharktooths are 2 of the only 3 sets of wheels i think that suit a fiesta. The others being azev A's hence i have all 3 sets

[jonyb4]

oooh the ones in his sig would suit perfectly

lol your one big stockpile steve

[russ-RST]

yeah but i think id change the black for moondust silver might keep the green rimtape idea tho

[russ-RST]

well iv been paid and got insurance now but my mot has run out so a mate is supposedly gettin me one sorted iv already given him the money but not sure if im gettin mugged off or not will find out soon enough, does anyone know what the chances are of my car passing the emissions test on a mot as it has the rs turbo engine fitted with obvs no car and a scorpion cat back system so to speak, will it get tested for the emissions of the engine or the car and if its the car will it have to have a cat or not as the engine is pre cat so i can get hold of one also another thing does anyone know if the powersteering column will fit into a non power steering rack as i have taken off the pipe and put blanks on the rack but im geussing this will be seen as dangerous by the mot station?

[jonyb4]

n offence but passing the mot so far sounds a myth

i understand the emissions the CVH produces is the entire reason they were ended, and updated to a 1.4 PTE design as they were just too old of a design to get the emissions low enough (the CVH has been in fords since atleast '82)

[russ-RST]

Well done the brakes on the car now it's now sportin new shoes, rs turbo calipers painted satin black and minted grooved discs and pads and my braided hoses aswell also fixed my exhaust blow finally lol and 3 new tyres swell so been a bit busy lol and the car has passed it's m o t aswell which I'm very pleased about and I got insurance for it fully comp all mods declared and a 2k agreed value which is bloody good considering I'm 20 with 3 points and 2 years ncb

Now I'm just wondering how to adjust the handbrake if anyone knows or has any pointers ?

[jonyb4]

good stuff man

id like to know hwo too lol

according to haynes it a white plastic adjuster under the car near the fuel tank, follow the hand brake cable to find it, its fiddle though

[russ-RST]

Yea well iv gathered some info on the thread i put up, so will be having
A go at it today if I. Get it done il take a few pictures

[russ-RST]

Well not much progress to report really just been fixing a few little bits on here trying to it running perfect as there are a few small things I'm still not happy about lol but it is all time and money permitting, I have however fitted my RS spoiler but no pics just trying to decide on what wheels to go for I'm thinking about White pro race 1.2's but don't know what they would look like so if anyone has any pictures would be much appreciated, will grab some pictures of the spoiler and my brakes at some point soon

[Smo]

Get the bumpers painted first

[russ-RST]

Yea I have been thinking about it iv got quotes from a few places and they've been silly prices like TPK said £400 to paint the bumpers and a bonnet might aswell do it myself lol

[Smo]

I know someone who used to work for them and then Body and Wheels who now has started up on his own in Faversham. I'll dig his number out and text you tomorrow... Worth an ask at least And he's got an Escort Turbo too

Yeah mate if it's no hassle for ya if it turns out to expensive to have a shop do it il do it myself lol iv sprayed everything else lol

[russ-RST]

Well fitted the RS fuel pump today but it didn't solve my problem seems that the over boost protection is coming on when I got 8psi so I might have to get a super chip :/ unsure on how good they run on these etc. Plus I'm not sure if it's safe running my engine over 8 psi if it doesn't have s chip? Will it be fueling correctly etc....

[russ-RST]

Plus my fuel gauge is working ok until I get to 1/4 a tank then it stays at 1/4 but obviously the petrol goes down lol

[fezza89]

got any idea why it does this?

[fezza89]

no idea, ive been told it may be a sensor on the tank????? ive been putting the job off for a while now, does get annoying guessing how much petrol you have left.

i like to live dangerously though
