The dude i just got my 1600 off told me i could put my 1300 head on the 1600 block and raise the compression (1300 has flat valves). But i think 1600 ports are bigger than a 1300? What would you guys do? Go with bigger ports or higher compression??? Chur.

For those of us that are lucky enough to have a 5th gear

tridents with tires for 250 you reckon??? i want some!!!

Fully? damm i thought use the old fuel for the old car, damm was i wrong. I'll try 96 nxt time im there, will i need to make the change slowly? like do half half the first few times or wont it make a difference? This site has the answer to all my problems

Ok guys leaks aside now, i found im burning a bit of oil so im replacing my rings soon. When i put it back im thinking of using thicker oil aswel, what do you guys use? Also what you run it on? my mate with his starlet had it on 96 an im tempted to try 96 in mine aswell cept i dont know if it will work, whats the worst that could happen? Sorry for all the questions

Yea i did the same as Bistro - capret out in the car while it got hosed. I have put sealant around the heater hoses, under the fusebox, and also made a cover over the gromet below the fusebox because the gromet wasnt sealing properly, oh yea and i flushed out the drainage hole to make sure there was no overflow although it did seem alright. And yea not too much luck with the hose but after a night of hard rain i can get out 1/2 litre of water sometimes Boot doesnt get more than a few drops but i'll look into it anyway.

So i wanted to know why my carpet was rotting, so i pulled it out. Turns out my escort leaks. I was talking to some dude who used to own one and he said he had the same problem and apparently all escorts leak. It comes in from i dont know where and ends up in the front footwells. Anyone know how to go about fixing it? By the way its a mk2 4door. Cheers.

CRC, Yea my mate said that aswell, didnt work at first but i left the it overnight an the CRC must of worked its way down cause it came off no trouble at all, cheers guys, My new wheel is sooo much smaller, real fun to drive now

Yea believe me, I've tried everything. Have taken off the nut an pulled like crazy but it wont budge, im just about out of ideas. Thanx anyway.

Anyone had to take off the steering wheel on a mk2? I got a new wheel an boss kit i wanna chuck on but cant get the old fukn thing off. Tried evrything aye, 3 people pulling at in an then hitting it with a block of wood and it wouldnt budge. I heard of a steering wheel puller, kinda like a wine bottle opener, kinda pulls an pushes in the centre at the same time, anyone heard of them?
