UPDATE: I now have a working passenger window!! only took a year to get that done haha

Did you modify an NA exhaust like that? Or was that a churbo header to begin with?

On the trip down to Palmy

Thanks KY, inspiration right there

Haha nah will keep them until exhaust mkII Need a new header, so will update exhaust then to make slammadge more possible. but yeh, FUCK YEH hardtop! no more leaks!

latest addition and only a 2 week wait till lusher wheels + some time to get monies for tyres

So cleaned up all the contacts. Helped a little bit. but was still turning real slow. Took all the spark plugs out and bam, no problem, freaking flys. So, that can only lead me to one conclusion, it's the starter that doesn't have enough grunt.

my first opinion would be get rid of cutties??

^ This I asked him, and he said it leaks from one head stud. so that could mean a cracked head. Would make alot of sense if what you have stated is possible

haha yes, he still needs to replace his. Guess it's jsut one of those things that happen on old cars. Maybe someone in the future can fix his flux capacitor

Hmm. but why would it only be with the initial start up?

hmm yea this power cable is rather thin. EDIT : forgot to add that there is probably sweet FA compression. Don't know if this will be a factoring issue I think starter is in relatively good condition.

Hey guys. weird scenario, don't quite know what's happening. Car : ford Escort Problem : when the car is being started for the FIRST time everyday the engine does not want to turn. Winds over incredibly slowly and after about 5 winds it finally starts. Have replaced battery 3 days ago. Still exactly the same situation. Once the car has been started once for the day it has no problem starting for the rest of the day. Has anyone experienced this before ? Or able to shed some light? Regards Dave

^ agree with this comment

do it.

oh my bad. just read his latest build thread entry.

To find tyre size recomendations, just go to the manufacturer's website, click the tyre you want and usually comes up with a list of tyre size vs wheels width

Ah I see. Thanks for the clarifying. You're making some sweet power from that thing. good on ya for getting it all done.

does boost make such a big difference even when the outcome is simmilar kW

im finding that torque figure very hard to believe. 2040Nm of torque from an 1800. Someone explain please. Mate 1J on 7psi is making about 230kw and 1400Nm. I do not see how an 1800 can produce more torque than that. Regards Dave
