Pablo same here. My Engine is in the bin at the moment. Just building another one gathering parts yet again. A Word of warning to everyone. Never ever let anyone bead/glass blast or media blast your engine. You can never get the media out, it embeds itself into the metal and slowly but surely releases and slowly destroys every single internal part of your engine. Only part i have managed to salvage is Conrods. I had a little sulk about it but now it's onwards and upwards. Determined to make ford fest and run my engine in down the strip haha.

when I click on view event I get an error message Oops! Something went wrong! System Error: No id was detected. also tried it on my phone and the same happens

ill be coming, how do I purchase tickets? Thanks

compression test is the first thing before throwing loads of time and money on it.

I believe there is, remove the door card and if I remember rightly there are I think 3 - 10mm nuts or bolts, loosen these and have a play around, there is definitely adjustment just cannot remember how I did mine

jayrscabby is right, leaking cvh drive shaft leaks usually mean worn diff bearings

Efi engine does not have a distributer, it has a coil pack. Mfi has a distributer

A very big thank you for everyone making us feel so welcome at our first ever event as a member, we only just managed to get the cabby engine built in time, it was actually on the workbench in pieces on the Monday morning and by Saturday making its way from hull to Silverstone (160 miles) I really though we was not going to make it without a tow. Also a very big thank you for the lads camping on the sunday night for a warm welcome and also I had the best laugh I have had for a long time, if all the shows are like this count me in. great day with great people and cars. Thanks

is it an efi or mfi fule system?

All finished and mot'd just needs setting up on the rolling road and its ready for the summer. thinking of a flocked dash and door handles and maybe fitting a 3/4 spoke sporty ford steering wheel as the standard one I think is rubbish. apart from that pretty happy with it at the min. any views or comments are welcome Thanks

I have also had lots and lots of parts powder coated as there is a great guy just round the corner from me who does it cheap and a good job.

Yes it's running but only on basemap. Spec erm where to begin lol. Mondeo 2.0 engine, calibra c20let pistons rebored to 2.1 think it was 86mm if I remember rightly. H section conrods. New mains big ends stronger valve springs ported head etc. rover 800t inlet manifold with cosworth green injectors cosworth throttle body big inter cooler. Omex Ecu T3 t24 hybrid turbo Powder coated gearbox strengthened with bigger bearing and quafe diff fitted. Paddle clutch Escort mk5 adjustable clutch pedal Power steering conversion Read disc conversion. There's lots of mods it's took me years and I have had 4 cabriolets so just collected and done stuff along the way. The underneath has been sprayed with upol raptor which is what they spray truck beds with. (My mates idea and he sprayed it for me) I'm the oily guy and don't and can't do bodywork lol.

It's hard to believe that they can actually sell headlights that will not pass mot. What sort of quality control do they have?

Thanks for all the positive comments it all makes the hard work seem worthwhile. And yes I am meaning to attend a few shows this year so will look out for some headlights there.

Just took it for mot last week. Failed on 2 front wheel bearings and also headlight beams. I replaced the headlights for new ones off eBay just so they was new as the old ones were rusty. Unfortunately they are cheap Chinese c##p and don't have any sort of pattern. Maybe someone could let me know where to get a set of genuine ones cheap enough either new or very good?
