just on the subject of 1600's how much is a resonable price for a running 1600???

well i re-set the my dad helped explain(bless him) and i had to set just about ALL of the valves ,one of the gaps was totally out lol tahnx guys all help appreciated peace

thanks guys i found it after looking through the re-building of the head that sound messy bigdave lol im a amatuer so ill just stick with the manual way sweet

yea i looked in the haynes manual and it ddnt say anything about the tappet to valve clearance can anyone help me witht his ???? the noise is driving me nuts aye ...

MAAAAAAN that looks soo nice ...hrmm thanks for the help but my flares are like just little one that just bring the gaurd out a bit and i stuffed one of the gaurds even more in the weekend (esky + farm paddock = stuffed gaurd) anyhow so i drill the flares ...drill the gaurd and rivet or bolt them on???....also would it look better withoutmoulding it to the body or doing that??....i as thinking painting the flare then getting polished allen head bolts and just leaving as is ...

yea any pics/tips much appreciated ....also i was looking at my gaurds and tires today and realised they are also rubbing on the inside of the thing ...like at the back by the pedals...tat area ...im guessn the only way to fix this is by getting lower profile tires?

yea thatd be cool thanx ...yea my m8 suggested just rolling it with a pole and then boltng the flares at the point were the smaller flares start

i dont think so they bring the gaurd out about 1-2 " not much but enught to stop the rubbing ...i was gonna grind them off and then bend them slightly out to stop that???.....iunno this is y im asking lol i dont really wanna bend out the gaurd because it might crack the paint

hey guys i got a set of fibreglass flare for $50 and was wonderin how the hell u put them on ..is it just a bit of drillin grinding off the gaurds then bolting on painting etc of is there more to it then that..any help appreciated cheers

omg dude your a friggin legend!!!!....to bad u had to let go of those damn fine pieces of ford pride maaan i wish i had the money and knowledge to spend on my mk2 like that lol ..on the subject ..you know alot about this stuff...my escort has got the worst bodyroll ever and im tryna get rid of it ....i can have three ppl on one side of the car and the car drops about 4" roughly ....its slack as i was just wondering if there any immediate things i can do to help stop this ....new harder shocks and springs prehaps???? ..any help appreciated thanks

im very interested in gettin a new headlight (square) replacable halogen ....how much would u want for it ...cos my drivers side onelooke like it has pink eye lol

does anyone know how much a port and polish would be?? rough cost?

i secnd that question cos i really want them got the extractors (see gallery)

yea thats true but i cant be bothered finding one i mean if sumone here has one that can basically drop in and go im keen but otherwise ill stick with the 1300 gets up to 70 and thats all i need to go atm (if i have to travel i use my m8s skyline)

NO!!!! go to super cheap yea setting your timing is simple man i know next to nothing about cars and ive done both the whole light timing one and the points as well ...simple as ..just my two cents

yea i pulle dthe fuse outta the headunit and im thinking its just a wee bit screwed(nt only did the metal melt but the plastic warped too) ...so ima buy some fuses tomorrow and check it all oiut and hopefully it works ..if it dnt well gutted i guess

yea the headunit fuse blew ..but the thing is it goes through one of the fuses in the fuse box so i dnt know y it ddnt melt that first (maybe it cos of the reversed thing) anyhow i suppose shit happens it better work cos my headunit is worth more then the f***n car

well i just got a headunit and intslled it, and i had to take out my old batt to charge, and when put it in i got lost and put the connections on the wrong end (they r both red grr) and when i did this i had secured them on tightly so what happned was all the wires started smoking and all the fuses well...did what overloaded fuses do (thank god)....and now my car wont even turn ...yea just had to vent my anger ....the wires actually melted i have never seen that before ...hmm yes anyhow

thanx guys ...just wanted to hear some other indeas ...oh and is i possible to get a electric dizzy for my esky and how would i go about installing it ...sweet the extractors got welded up yesterday ...now i need to get off my ass and put them on lol ...hrmm yes..

ok ive got a 1977 1300 escort and i scraped the idea of getting a bigger engine (petrol prices) and i was wondering how to get some nice quick and cheapish horsepower , my m8s suggested i get extractors (which are sitting in my room) a twin throat carby (down/sidedraguth they ddnt say) and get my cam worked into a lumpy cam or sumthing but i was wondering if there was anythign else i might be overlookoing that could help alot...any help appreciated thank yoiu ...btw my esky was in aucks on fri if anyone saw a blue esky with vinyl roof and turbo mags ..kewl

damn your interior is nice , mine is all frugged oh well u win some u lose some i guess ...do yoiu have any poics of your whole car by the looks of that car its a really nice one, anyhow yea the seats there look like myne with a few differences .....f**k thats a nices interior lol ..
