one of my favourite mk3's, love this car. top thread mate, get it taxed and keep the updates coming along.
love carb noise
and also to go on from the 2.0 on carbs and you get 170 brake, incorrect, my mate has a 2.0 zetec, on webber alpha ECU, 45 webber alpha throttle bodies, 4 x 803's, Stage 1 head, Mild cams, 4-2-1, slightly bored out too, around 2045cc.
and it made 172 horse

that was a year ago it just took 6 months to get sorted cos i had to report the garage to trading standards, the guy thats motd it now has ripped all the work i had done last year to bits, hes saying that the pressure is too low to the rear discs, to be honest mate ive just about had enough, im that close to just fucking it all off at the moment, i wish i had the time and the knowledge to do the work myself cos im fucking sick of being treated like a mug punter, im off to get pissed now haha

Didnt think it was that long ago, time sure does fly when you having fun
Dont give up on it mate, you may need to fit a bias valve on the rear lines, friend told me at the weekend you can fit the bias valve/pressure reducing valve (not sure what it is really you'll have to find out ) from a peugeot 205 GTi 1.9 model, thinks it something to do with having standard fronts with a rear disc conversion which messes it up

i did mate and i forgot to upload the pics , runs really well now and sounds amazing, definatly upped the power a bit, going to speak to wizards of nos in the nxt few weeks just to see if its going to be suitable and if it is how much im looking at, the ignition will be the only problem i think but ill see what they say, im thinking 50 hp jets with a progressive controller if i can get away with it !, keep you posted

thought it was about time i ressurected this thread and put some new pictures up, nothing much is new since the last post apart from i redid the rocker cover, mechanically wise the car is now spot on, the new manifold and exhaust made a huge difference to how the car goes, got one last show to go to this year and thats croft next week, some new pics
