Hi

Thanks for the nice complements guys.

I have not started the car up yet, last week I made up parts for the 909 swirl pot from copying an original one. A friend of mine will weld it together this week.

The ecu is a P8 who is programable by GEMS modifycation, I have been thinking about changing to pectel T6 for launch and flat-cut, but I think i will stick to what I got if it will work properly in dynoing. I use a modyfied idle valve (and a ported albow) on a switch and the ecu have two maps on a switch for turning the als on. So I must flip two switches to turn the als on.

I will check the 909 numbers on the steering arms for you later mate.

Regarding the plates on the floor, I will let them stay as original (as the rest of the car, not much is modifyed on it, and the plan is to get it as it was in the 80`s) It`s many things I would change on this car if I would let go of the restoring to "as it was".

Regarding this I regret putting in the seqvential gearbox and has started to look for a getrag box. Please let me know if you know of one who is for sale. I need this as I will apply for a HTP pass from FIA, and the all the parts must be homlogated.

I`m sorry Iain, there is no parts I want to sell at the moment.

As usually I`m in no hurry, and I follow my own plan to get the car finished next summer (to many project and things to do in life).

I have used my escort mk2 for challenge rally lately, this is good fun actually. Do you have challenge/historic rally in the UK?
And last monthe I had a weekend trip to Nurburgring with my e46 M3, that was really a must do in life for all petrolheads
