Drag ones are longer and softer.

Im also going harder on my track fronts to a 450lb spring

 

I have the best solution - as drag racing is the most boring motorsport in the world, why not just forget about it . You will never break another gearbox again .

 

So so so true!

Are you taking yours to FordFair Mike or just the TangoMachine?

 

 

Both would be nice (Jim says a big fat no though, but I only listen to the organ grinder, not the monkey ), but practically just the orange shed.

 

Good news today.

The new box is being assembled and tested tomorrow.

Also have a new mount to test from VibraTechnics and fitting the new power steering set up.

Looking forward to having a play again.

 

Good mate thougth you had given up for a moment there

 

Citroen Saxo power steering pump mounted on custom alloy bracket. This will be married up with the Fiesta RS1800 power rack. Will give it a little spruce up and then mount in posisition.




VibraTechnic have also made a replacment engine mount for the R1800 Fiesta as before only the standard Ford mount was available.

Lovely piece of kit and far stiffer than standard.

 

Almost mate but once box is fitted its done again.... ready for winter storage

 

lookin good luke thats what the focus has been running for years
seems to work ok aswell

cheers paul

ive been thinking about corsa,saxo power steering for a bit..seems a few of the good fiestas are changing to it .. will be watching closely if its ok

 

How much is the does it cost? On the HP there is no price.

 

I believe this is the first to be tested so a few weeks until it is available to buy.

Never knew you had one of them! Ment to be a proper bit of kit! Is it chipped yet!

 

its awesome mate! not chipped yet gonna be a nice towin mule tho! eh


cheers paul

 

Watch ya mouth, you're not too big to receive a kick in the crutch .

 

Stranger returns, not touched the car in months and the new box is still to be fitted so is currently collecting dust.

Car is covered up for the winter but will be dragged out of hiding early next month to have a few mods sorted ready for use in 2012.

I also just received a new steering wheel for the car as the older 350mm wheel was a little too big for my liking and felt like i was steering a bus in a small Fiesta cockpit.
Went for a slightly deeper dish also to bring the wheel forward a little as I recently moved the seat back as far as possible. Really nice posistion now.

New steering wheel below - 330mm with 90 dish suede leather

The buzz is slowly coming back to start tinkering/driving the car again.

 

Love that wheel, very nice.

 

Nice one mate wondered what was happening with the trolley

 

Cheers boss

I know I kind of lost the spark when that gearbox mashed itself

 

Good to hear you found the love for it again

im looking forward to seeing these other bits n pieces you mention

 

that engine mount is a nice bit of kit ! might have to be getting one.

Hello Martins,
