Nice one

 

original mk4 escort ones, thru the back, calipers are pre tapped, just needed the threads cleaning on mine as per the re-con work. years of crud and 4 layers of paint needed rid...

 

 

Excellent power

 

Hi mate,

Have you got msn?

Just wondering where did you get it rr'd?

Whats the complete spec of your car with those results?

Did Bogg Bros supply the carbs themself?

Cheers, James

 

hiya james

ill answer those in order :-

no

well lane in batley near leeds

carbs and exhaust are the only engine mods

yes


paul

 

straight to the point and no messing about

any updates mate?

 

With Astra GSI injectors he will not longer use the K-Jetronic. And with a full mappable ECU he will probably run injection AND ignition from the new ECU

 

its sorn at the min mate so not alot happening, the wheels are ready to fit with a new set of yoko's on them which hopefully wont foul the arches, im hoping mike from the rs forum is going to agree to do the remap and head work for me (cash waiting mate lol), if i can get the head and cam to the right spec im still going to go with the nitrous idea, aiming for 200 bhp with the coils still on, got to be worth a go
cheers

paul

 

sounds good mate keep us posted

I just wish the global warming would speed up abit, too bloody cold and miserable to do anything

 

crap mate isn't it, cant wait for summer this year, be the first year ill have had the car nearly how i want it

 

I just want to get mine on the road, but cant be aRSed at the mo

Are you going on the RSBB IOM trip if it goes ahead?

 

yeah maybe, going to the cumbria show in may

 

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

 

handles loads better now and they really suit the car, dead chuffed

 

Those wheels look top notch mate

Needs lowering and a good wash though

 

Looks spot so far keep have you decided whats up next yet ?

 

that was just off the ramps mate so its settled a bit now, they've transformed how the car drives, i just aint one of lifes buftys im afraid lol

 

Any updates mate?

 

mot time again mate, dont ask

 

Thought you had an mot not long back, when you had brake problems

 

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

 

you mean like this

 

Yeh something like that

have you sorted the brakes now then?

 

that was from last year mate, goin down this aft to find out whats happenening, let you know later, how you doing anyway ?

 

Im fine mate, not much happening down here, off work for the foreseeable future, might pop up to Turbo Technics tomorrow and get a new turbo, wanna get my RS on the road end of the month

Keep us posted

 

brakes are now sorted, steering rack has got to come off bcos its not been fitted properly (nice to know after 3 years), small welding job to do, get the exhaust bought off tricky and get that fitted, fit the new bead blasted rocker cover, ready for central day !!!!!! maybe

 

Your steering racks' fitted wrong and your MOT tester is moaning about your brakes? bout time you got a new MOT tester

Whats wrong with the black rocker cover youve got?

Ordered my new stage 2 Turbo today from TT, cheaper than i thought

 

nice one mate, the black ones a bit chipped and manky looking now after some tosspot at last years mot disaster garage ( ) threw a tray of spanners on it, will get that one blasted and redo it, the rack hadnt been centred properly apparently, had some wheel scrub on one side and not the other, when is yours on the road ?

 

Shouldnt be long now mate, just waiting on the manifold (sheared a stud removing old turbo ) and a bit of welding, should be trundling around from May 1st

Keep us posted on your RSi

 

nice one, im definately going to cumbria on the 13th, might go on the rsi on tour stand cos some of those lads just love a modded 16i , im looking forward to getting this exhaust and manifold on, if i get time before cumbria im going to take it back to boggys and get the carbs tuned

 

Any update on this fella? got that zorst fitted yet?

 

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

 

Sounds like a plan are you going to fit it yourself or get them to fit it? keep us posted, am thinking of getting nitrous for my other car

 

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

 

Nice one fella those speedlines need to be tucked up under them arches asap though

Are you coming up Saturday and camping overnight at Croft?, if so i'll see you there with the other RSi on Tour peeps

 

looking sweet as mate

 

gonna be there mate but im not driving up till sunday so ill see you then
