Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Yup hoods come without the window hole cut, and you have to trim along the front too!

turbobill

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Yeah I prefer it black, whilst I didnt dislike the white (that's how it came) as it grew on me, the black is definately better!

TOMMY_RS

looks well mate i must admit

JamboRS

looks much better karlos
you not thought about putting spacers on the wheels as they look lost in the arches.think spacers would fill them better and give it a better stance,maybe go black wheels to match hood???lol

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

I was thinking about that only the other day Jambo! Could do with coming out a bit.
Never been a fan of black wheels really, they have to be the right wheels on the right car or it just doesnt work.

if i was to be picky i would agree and say that the white doesnt go well with red - dont get me wrong though it looks bloody sexy.. but now the black really makes the red stand out more..

the 1st pic has no windscreen in there which makes it look a bit but then i scrolled down silly me but well done karlos it looks bloody nice noow

martinmilne

wat advantages does the mohair roof give you over the vinyl or is it just looks ?

looking good tho mate

Looking good Karlos! anthracite (or however you spell is lol) wheels would look to balls with the black roof now mate

Hows the gf's ka coming along? she driving that or the mg?

Rob,

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Last longer than vinyl, less likely to split, and of course looks much nicer too!
Not a fan of dark wheels really Rob, GF is still in the MG till it sells, then we can start buying bits for the Ka build and she'll be driving 1.3 power till it's done! lol
I've got a 1.4 block lined up for boring to a 1.6, then standard rods, pistons, head, cam, T3, and a suitable IC is what I plan to use.
Make a nice reliable 180-190bhp and wouldnt of cost the earth to build!
Will be on MS2 of course, with a SporKa box and RST LSD, a decent set of shocks and springs, and probably Focus ST brakes up front.

Should be a good little toy for her!

Rob_DOHC

iTrader: (4)

Ye sounds good mate, are the 1.4 blocks the same then? Other than the bore size etc.

Rob,

ROB7656

massive improvement!

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Yup, and IIRC they have the CPS hole and holder too

clarke5700

yup escort mk6 came with 1.4 injection cvh's

Rob_DOHC

iTrader: (4)

Indeed they do Karlos, all single point injected cvh's (mostly 1.4's) i saw at the scrappy the other day had the cps hole etc.

Is the crank the same?


Rob,

Karlos G

iTrader: (4)

Ah sweet, thought so!
Have to use a 1.6 crank, stroke is different on the 1.4 IIRC.
