[Minstral]

that lada is awesome smo.

will update tomorrow with the past few days bits

[Minstral]

right steve came round on sunday and we went o halfords without a colour in mind to spray the caps. originally they were going to be black but has already been done so in the end i chose cream and we went for the lada cream.
results

and on the car


i think it works really well picture doesnt really do it justice, the bump strips will now be going this colour as well

also went to the scrappy tuesday got a few bits main thing i wanted was an airbox, these are the finds

i was told by the zsoc that any airbox fits as long as its off a zetec s engine from any of the sizes and they are identical. wrong
luckily the orignal bottom half off mmine was still in the bay acting as a air flow to the cone.
difference between the 2, 1.25 on the left and zs on the right. the zs bottom has an extra hole for more air

theres also another sensor which the 1.25 doesnt have so had to drill a hole and fit that, duno what its for but its on the 1.7 puma engine as well, can be seen just above the intake pipe on the air box.

also found the rubber clip that i need to hold the jack in the boot as again it didnt come with it so kept falling out and had to be put behind the drivers seat. also got a mint wheel brace as the one with the car got completey rounded of by a previous owner and was usless.
before

with the band in place


thoughts?

Cream FTW

The sharpie is coming round to sort out those logos though

[trecoll]

Thats the Inlet Air Temperature sensor. My 1.25 had one, but my 1.7 doesn't....

[Smo]

Think you should do the whole wheel in that colour.

[jonyb4]

not a fan of that beige at all


me and my mate found something interesting out

the 1.7 puma has a second cold air feed that goes deep into the wing, it goes behind the arch liner down to past the side repeater, its made of a thick fabric, looks like a general after market one in a way

hes selling that tubing if your interested, should lip into your 1.6 box

[hb69]

That airbox is made of plastic, just so you know

[jonyb4]

you talking to me?


the cold air feed is fabric... not the box

Who mentioned the cold air feed. Im just giving out helpful information that I assume no one else knows.

[Smo]

Cheers for that, Henry. I've been wondering whether this was the case.

[trecoll]

the 1.7 puma has a second cold air feed that goes deep into the wing, it goes behind the arch liner down to past the side repeater, its made of a thick fabric, looks like a general after market one in a way

All the tubing is actually just acting a resonator. Ford did away with it on the FRP and just made a straight cold air feed pipe that pointed down towards the bottom of the front bumper...

[jonyb4]

the 1.7 has many resonators that one is a intake none the less, theres a resonator above the exhaust manifold thats bolted to the bonnet too

[trecoll]

It has less resonators than 1.25/1.4 airbox.

It has two. I know, I've removed them both (as I've removed the whole airbox)

I didn't say it wasn't a feed, I just said that the extra tubing acts as a resonator, and the FRP airbox is better design.

[jonyb4]

god you dont half argue...

who gives a s**t its apart of the induction system one way or another

[Tweek]

god you dont half argue...

who gives a s**t

This post made I larf a lot in an ironic way

[jonyb4]

[jonyb4]

sorry toby this is getting derailed now

was there any motive behind the beige painted bits? or was it a "i reckon that will look good" kinda thing?

[EUFez]

Goodnight Jon Boi.

[MK2 Jamie]

I like the new rubber band holding the jack in.

[fiend]

Needs the wing mirrors spraying beige now!

[dontpannic]

The extra hole on the airbox usually has a small resonator on it and isn't usually open to the air - it still uses a similar cold air feed design (to behind the front grille).

Not sure on the cream myself. Its a lovely colour but I don't think it has a place on your car. Will have to see it in the flesh I think.

thanks jaime means a lot

i already have that extra feed which is obviously why i kept the orginal bottom end.
rob is that the resonator that ive heard of on the zsoc, they usually take them out, they say its only to create a nicer sound

will be more cream parts at some point
need to service it soon

That airbox is made of plastic, just so you know

i wasnt sure if it was or some kind of compostie material

A roll cage in the same colour as the center caps would look so good
