  1. Whats le plan. ( french for the plan) il try not to shit a battery this time
  2. Well i may be onto a winner then i guna make a direct replacement/ frankenstein fuse box and you will all want one
  3. So i found it. So embarasing. I pulled out all dash and un taped everything and set about finding the issue. Even took passenger seat out to get comfy. Search ing and cutting out redoing shit for hours. Until i make a break through, the indicators stop working when the ignition dies. Trace the indicator feed alll the way up to fuse box. Same fuse as ignition. Turns out the copper tab that holds the torpedo fuse was a bit loose so would rattle and cause the miss with the bumps of road. All that shit and breaking down over a loose fuse. Has anybody seen a direct replacement fuse holder for escort that accepts modern blade fuses?
  4. So went got anothe alarm and swapped it over thats not it. Ive pulled and poked every wire and connection i can get my hands on ive wiggled and jiggled fingered and fiddled Sprayed half a can of contact cleaner into ignition barrel. Which has made the key more clicky. Stil havent quite found it, the ignition barrel seemed to have some results. But cant be sure. Saturday is only 6 days away il haveanother crack at it
  5. Also add ive checked earths on indicators, ive removed indicator relay and it still does it. Its a poo
  6. Right time to digup this pearler again. Cars being a cunt. Ive changed points,condensor,tryed 2 coils, run new earths to chassis new earth to block.and new earth between coil and dizzy It will startand run fine i had it idling for 10-15min didnt cough or anything. Drive off and assoon as i get to accelerating it coughs and splutters and the indicator relay goes fucking mental While idling i used indicator and it killed motor, tryed 3 or 4 times same thing then itdecides it doesnt want kill engine While driving the indicator relay will click and motor dies. Its now to the point where it dies every 30sec while driving. I live 700m from workshop and it dies 4 times. Has anybody known a uniden to interfere like this?
  7. Ive asked before but does anybody know what shock inserts are same diameter as the faithfull ford ones but shorter? Have heard rx7and golf any confirmed reports?
  8. Went out for a wee squirt in my puscort today and a problem that has been a pain has really f'ed me off. It has been cutting out/ coughing spluttering at about 4faaasand revs and today i followed the advice of everybody and put a new condensor in. It was idling fine then died so i thaught no gas but yeah it has dinosaw juice. So im driving home and i get some super fast clicking from what i can only think of as ignition relay under dash. And no more forward momentum. It did it 4 times in a 500m trip. Ive replaced the main earths. Plugs. (New and gapped) points checked and gapped. Condensor, cleaned up rotor arm, and checked connections on the coil. Im now lost short of replacing coil i dont know where to turn. It has an imobiliser alarm that can be a cock. Wondering if thats getting involved when its not wanted. Any ideas?
  9. I got a 2003 100year sporty. So nice to ride. Im held by marrage not to modify it tho. Saying that do have roland sands air cleaner if any 1 wants. Please hardtail bober yours and post a kagillion pics. Thanks
  10. Some 1 on here built a turbo jet there was/is a build thread. Somewher
  11. Yup doit. Ive been watching colin furze on youtube and so want a rocket for fun
  12. Old boy had a bit of fuel hose un hose itself and get lodged in carb. Remember him pulling everything apart before finaly finding tiny bit of rubbr in carb.
  13. Why do inever remember to take pics? Good day out tho lads
  14. Bawden road then greens road. Plenty of windys and good visability straight
  15. Looks great tho. Definately in proportion. Makes me wana wind the adjuties down into the weeds on mine. Im not a minilight/superlight wheels guy but great rim/tyre combo i can definately dig it
  16. Belive i saw this in silverdale today looks mean and im jealous of the lows. Sooo jealous
  17. Id say a twin choke webber like you mentioned. If you could find 1 of a 2l motor surely would be capable of dumping enough fuel for a 1300. Occasionally sideys show up on tardsme cheap Could go single side draught or down draught webber/dellorto
  18. How would you go about curling the ends to suit the bush/hang mounts. Working that steel to that shape cane be easy
  19. Got a drift evo if i can find a lipo charger
  20. finally after 4 years on os and 7/8 years of owner ship ive decided to load my in project pics of my pride and joy puscort. bought it in dairy flats for the pricely sum of $1500 no wof reg and proceded to get it 'legal' and daily the shit out of it. then found a blueprinted 711m 1600 xflow in an aquantances garden complete with delorto sideys, 4 spd, diff (which i later found out was an atlas. but i took it to the tin man. damn feck blast) and a set of turbo mags paid $400 for the lot and walked away very chuffed. at that stage car looked like this... then met wifey and shacked up with her and had a garage!!! so i began tinkering, 1 fatefull day after 1 or 2 big boy lemonades decided to 'do a siiiick skiiiid bruv' and blew the snot out of the standard box. had a spare sierra 5 speed so the tinkering really began. will try and keep pics in order and add notes when nessasary. and the tarting her up began Then i gots all romantic and poped the big question to 'er indoors and realised if im getting married im going in my car. so i got busyer and ended up like this just in the nick of time for this. and then i was married and life and work kicked in and i did nothing at all to car until xmas just gone when i did this and now shes got her red dress on its all love and polish now specs are 711m 1600 standard bore, mild cam, gt head, twin 40's sierra 5 speed, standard diff, 2 inch blocks and og air shocks in rear built by ben coil over adjusties of crapness,roller top mounts, bigger sway bar, some nolathane, shaved locks, vents, aerial hole mazda garnet red, orig interior love the ripped seat gunna keep it mild decent sounds
