nah its absolutly mint every where inside and out only 1 patch of weld in boot corner that was it.

leedsrhinos126

Ive been trawling the net and found out that rst brakes dont fit
apparently Escort cosworth or Sierra 4x4 calipers are the only ones that bolt straight on

leedsrhinos126

Whats involved with regards to sorting new fuel pump when fitting a zetec as this is where ill get stuck.

ye i still do want an engine but i can get 1 over here for the same price with loom.

My mam n dad said i cant fit a bigger engine unless i tell the dvla. dont think so ill have to wait till october till they go on hols

use an escort rs turbo fuel pump they mount to the floor on a cradle so only need a feed pipe (around 15 mm ) from the tank very easy to wire up use a fuel pump wiring loom from a cossie, msd sell them

leedsrhinos126

Is a 1.7 puma engine a good easy start for a conversion, this engine comes in cheap and has alternator, starter, box, all manifolds, loom,ecu and engine mounts.
Would my 4 speed gearbox mate up with this engine as even if i got a 1.8 zetec i would use the 4 speed box for a while as im sure it would be fun with it on, not bothered about top speeds

comments please

Dan F

Dont go with the puma engine, more hassle than its worth, just go 1.8 zetec ot'll be far easier and its a conversion loads of people have done to mk2 fiestas

And yes you can still run the 4 speed box with the 1.8 zetec

Oh and dont be a cunt, get it the engine declared otherwise your effectively running with void insurance, failing that wait till you can actually afford to do this

turbochild

This did make me laugh


some of the comments on here are well harsh so what if the car is a colour an xr2 never came in and it has a cherry bomb exhaust and scooby seats with a ridiculous sun stripe

the guy is young with his first car it's his car his cash etc at least he aint used a wall tree or whatever to modify it in a unreversable fashion like many people do

orion turbo

is going from a 1.1 rattle can engine to a cvh turbo a good idea for you mate . having not long passed test

orion turbo

i rekon some 13in 3 spoke wheels with 155/70r13 tyres would suit you and your car

iTrader: (2)

i dont think you would get anyone to even insure 2.0 on twin 40s at 17 :/

leedsrhinos126

Is it possible for you to do a 1.8 zetec conversion if so how much im i looking at ??

one_nineRS

You cannot be serious....you will be looking at house deposit money for your insurance, if you do a conversion on your car...

Be content with your 1.1 rattle can engine for now..get some ncb's behind you and then go for a conversion...

I don't even think its six months yet since you past your test..

turbochild

it's 65 and jst over an hour

leedsrhinos126

its 95 mile each way so knocking on 2 hours

ontheway

so much it makes me cry a little... it does help living in one of the lowest risk area's aswell

leedsrhinos126

go on ow much u paying to insure that power plant

ontheway

i'll tell you if you remove the sunstrip....

leedsrhinos126

NOOOOOOOOOOOO its staying on for now

luke19790_3

2k+ ??

leedsrhinos126

well im paying Ł2040 (and im 19) for a 1 litre, it had 45bhp once upon a time
so its gotta be double + that

luke19790_3

depends where you live, that doesn't help

luke19790_3

got any quotes with a zetec engine??

leedsrhinos126

nope dont know how but got a quote on a standard escort 1.6 zetec and ........... around Ł3500 haha
imagine the cost on the zetec conversion

luke19790_3

so is that 2k with all the mods

leedsrhinos126

kind of not ermmmmmmmmm yes wiv mods well springs

turbochild

Route:84.5 miles, 1 hr 17 min

leedsrhinos126

turbochild

sounds bloody awfull

leedsrhinos126

so what the only things that are different is
exhaust
seats
sunstrip
who cares, why not be different to the to the other few mk2's on the road?
no big deal is it really !! not the end of the world
