Dont think so

 

 

Didn't know that they did an 8v Zetec engine!

 

he probs means ZVH dan

 

yes its a 2.1 ZVH

 

ahhh i got ya, thats the point i was putting across, with a good suspension setup you can put the power down on a FWD car, ask TonyTurbo

 

the car in question has the MEF front set up

 

Mine has front and rear set up, with a few add on's

 

traction should be quite good then!

alots i the wheels and tyres too i suppose

 

Hoping so



Just waiting for shell to be finished

 

sounds like it will be a bit of a beast!

 

 

That would explain it then! lol

Whats MEF suspension then? Is ZOO stuff not as good or similar?

 

The two kits are basically the same iirc

Ive got MEF

 

He races karts....

So he'll have an idea

 

How much are we talking for a 400+bhp 2l zetec engine?

 

 

Thanks mate, not a bad price really

How many people on here are actually going this route?

 

Me, RED16, bassboy, adam was but not no more.. erm?

Rudey

 

uh oh radleigh you forgot about dave

 

Yer you slag

 

Whoooooooooooooooops LOL

 

one of my close mate is halfway through his build! he s got an ian howell built 2.1 zetec turbo! all ians spec! that will be pushing 450 bhp + nitrous! he wants to push 180 mph in a mk4! oh and the shell has had a fully wrc spec cage with diagonals goin throught fookin everywhere! turreted front and rear with acentric mounts! should be quick! and handle well!! look out next year! theres goin to be some serious records broken in alot of fwd fords!

 

Shit, sounds like mine




Oh well

 

ewan if your gonna go on about my motor make sure you know the full spec my son as it has been changed and it was always a 2.0 not 2.1 not that will make much difference see you soon mate very soon

 

cool davie!

sorry mate thought it was a 2.1.

hows it coming along anyway? usual AVA pace??

sure it wont make much of a differance as it should still be one of the top RS t's!

you wanna come to the passion ford meet on sun??

 

no probs

cars comming alone lovely spoke to ava today everything was spot on should be out in about in few days but i will keep it sweet for another few week i heard your cars going down to shead and you will have it back in about 3 weeks should be interesting

would love to come on sunday but have to work a few hour on the sunday to pay ava for my escort cossie engine build

 

sounds like mine too, since ive just bought my weld in climbing frame

 

Were you showing me pics of this at the Ace Cafe met a few months ago?? If so it looks mental!!

Any chance of posting some pics??

 

I'm not bothered if it's a Zetec then, be more interested if it was a 1600

 

Thanks

It'll be interesting to see how this guy gets on though. If he has similar suspension set up to mine, which in truth is quite basic. He would have around 50bhp more than me and bet his boost comes in with more of a punch.

Would be fun though, I hope he has a soft rev limit because I would guess that's where he would spend most of time lol

 

What's the point in having all that power in your 1600 when your afraid to use it's full potential

Mine will get a hammering regardless of whether it breaks something or not

 

Care to explain exactly what you mean by that?

And... Less of the rolleyes please...

 

escort cossie?? tell me more!



you can jump in my motor if you end up coming...

 

I apolagise but I thought you were being sarcastic about the cvh vs zetec

But you did say that you weren't sure whether to take your car to the Performance Ford Thrash incase you had a repeat version at Brunters.

You have a very fast car there. Use it to it's full potential

 

who's off to performance ford shoot out?

 

well ewan car is finally finished bit dissapointed it just pulled over 300bhp but still that should be enough to see off a lot of bigger horse power cars anyway hopefully we can get a wee shot at each other pritty soon escort cossise shhhhh secret
