Not long completed my conversion car runs good very happy but I have found that I'm only getting 70% throttle open using the mk5 accelerator pedal was thinking of trying a mk1 focus has any else had this issue or managed to over come it

I am sure there would be interest in what's involved with engine mounts ect and what gearbox you used ?

i have used the rs2000 mtx75 with vibratechnic mounts for the early mk5 escort fast road only as i found the track ones on my mk4 were fare too harsh. i used the rs2000 top mounting bracket as it lines up with the blacktop block holes all others are standard fit ment. the engine is running the focus 60 pin ecu thanks to bigwasa and his wiring. im using a stainless a mongoose exhaust system. i used all standard drive shafts but they are the larger 23spline ones. any questions please ask away. the projects not finished yet when its nearly there i should start a thread
