PM Luca about the wiring mate, the lads that sorted his 450bhp Fiesta out was a real work of art!

Cool motor you got coming on there mate, i've just had some engine mounts done for my sapphire that would look great on your car. Can't put a link up so pm me if you want some info on them but here is a link for my project so that you can have a look at the mounts (if you dont like the orange they do them in blue too). http://fordpower.org.uk/forum/index....pic=3983&st=20

Thanks for the offer but im gonna stick with standard escort cosworth engine and gear box mounts - ive found the "collins" and such like versions too harsh for the road.
