cheers fellas will be getting some hubcaps to see what they look like

[jonboisescort]

a little update i am still waiting for my new inlet manifold flange so i can get on and make a new inlet manifold for the bike carbs

and get a none vacuum advance dizzy as i think this is why my carbs arnt running there best

the new wheels are now on just need to roll the arches so i can go lower

nice and wide at the front might space the rears out

some better pics

[- Danny Boy -]

They are wide indeed. I think you should lower it more with a good bit of camber!

[Max M4X WW]

I had those steels on my 306, I got em from an early XSi.

[Capri]

I love this little car. Great work Jonboi!

[jonboisescort]

cheers fellas

the rear wheels nopw have 10 mm spacers fitted had to cut some of the arch out

will get pics tomorrow

[rsonblackwheels]

that looks fantasic, love those arches

agree with Danny Boy UK, bring on some camber

awesome

[~Tony~]

looking amazing mate, really nice job and really nice sound.

And now have me wondering if i could get my 1.8 focus zetec set up to run with bike carbs.

any info on what you needed in total to get these running will be great, sourly tempted.

[jonboisescort]

cheers mate


to get them to run on a zetec you will to fit:

fuel pressure regulator as bike carbs run about 3 psi
bogg brothers inlet manifold or make one
and some sort of managment for the spark

not sure what else will be needed as my car was carb anyway so is alot simpler


get in touch with bogg brothers they should be able to help you out

[jonboisescort]

escort now has 12 months MOT failed on sunstrip and headlights but sorted now with no advisories

have now fitted 10mm spacers to the rear and cut the arch lip out so they wouldnt rub

and fitted spax adjustable front shocks

[- Danny Boy -]

That look mean now Just need some camber and slam it! You know you want to

[jonboisescort]

update time

i will now be 2.0 zetec the escort as i am buying a donor mk3 fiesta which the 2.0 is currently in and

will be breaking the car due to it being rotton

it is getting delivered saturday and will be ripped apart at the weekend so in a couple of weeks once ive

sourced a few bits to get it in the escort

wont be going on bike carbs as injection is the way forward for what i want to do

will update with pics at weekend

[Ruishy1]

ITBs, supercharge or turbo mate ?

looking good chief

[happypaul]

Looks awesome mate

Be nice to see it with a 2.0ltr dumped in it!

What were the wheels off?? and what size tyres you slapped onto them? got an idea and I love the way they stick out

[jonboisescort]

cheers fellas

will be runing standard at the mo but supercharger is on the cards

have been told there off a 306 or a citroen c5

also been told they could be 306 gti6 spare wheels

[- Danny Boy -]

2.0 zetec.. sounds good! Supercharging it sounds even better! You should give your old bike carb'd engine to me when you have taken it out lol

[jonboisescort]

the fiesta turned up today and at 12.30 we started work on stripping the fiesta

how it looked when it turned up any one recognise any bits






then sat it on tyres



and an hour and ten mins later looked like this




how it looks now





the engine is a 2.0 mondeo and has a new clutch and water pump fitted



just need a few parts ;
rs turbo fuel pump
oil pick up pipe
throttle body 2.0 and 1.6
and probs a few bits

should hopefully be going in a couple of weeks

[- Danny Boy -]

Sweeeeet

You dont hang around do you Jon! Should be rather quick

[jayrs]

i spy some "uprated" arms on that lot from the fez, shaun might be interested in those

progress is quick aint it mate, bet your itching to get that lump in there now

[Capri]

Wow, quick progress there mate! Great to see the engine going in Was good to meet you the other evening too chap, can't wait to see the finished result!

[Rhinopower]

I've got an escort rs turbo fuel pump, and some of the pipes if your interested, Its a fairly recent pump. £20?

[Turboboy67]

i spy some "uprated" arms on that lot from the fez, shaun might be interested in those

The famous Deflex ones made from some sort of soft metal, hit a pot hole and they fold in half

You should go work for an F1 team Jon, judging by the speed you strip stuff down

i want the engine in now

[jonboisescort]

engine has now been painted matt black same as the inlet manifold
not sure if the rc cover will stay blue but may go beige

sump will be cleaned aswell

also made the loom by removing 2 relays and 3 fuses from the fiesta loom to
make a separate loom for the engine electrics all it requires is a couple of live
feeds and an earth






also this was a nice surprise

[- Danny Boy -]

That actually look really smart!! Matt black makes it look that much more aggressive!

Did you just take off the manifolds and spray them with rattle cans?

[jonboisescort]

cheers sprayed the inlet manifold but used high temp paint for the exhaust

[Smo]

Looking great as always

I say give the beige a go on the cam cover The blue is completely wrong against the matt black. I don't know how long you intend to keep the plastic intake for either, but paint that the same as the inlet and block just so it blends in a bit otherwise it just stands out something rotten (On all Zetecs, that is - not just yours!)

[jonboisescort]

a bit more done and a few bits sorted

found out u have to change the fuel tank so sourced a mfi tank

got most of the engine built back up and made some pipes


also got these brakes a few months ago there off a new shape focus

just need some new discs with 4 holes

heat wrapped part of the downpipe were the starter is

hopefully by the end of next week i will have the rest of the parts and the weekend after can get it fitted

[Rhinopower]

You dont need to get discs with 4 holes, can just use one of the existing, and drill 3 new holes

[jonboisescort]

didnt think of that

[Smo]

Don't you need an EFi tank as opposed to an MFi tank?

[Rhinopower]

Don't you need an EFi tank as opposed to an MFi tank?

Mk3 and mk4 escort fuel tanks are not a straight swap for eachother, the only option is an mfi tank which is what i am using. There into an external fuel pump.

[Smo]

Ah ok, gotcha!

[jonboisescort]

well the date is set for next friday to start getting the engine swap and i am hoping to get it done by lunch time sunday

but knowing me it will be done saturday can see me being up all night friday

i have to change

fuel tank
fuel lines
fit fuel pump
engine
wiring
make exhaust
rad hoses need to be modified

at the moment i need a few gaskets and oil and oil filter

really cant wait
