[fordrwd4ever]

hi no as im away then just the way things paned out and I didn't think car would be on road it still might not be yet , yes ive not forgotten your coffee , looking forward to getting car back together tho .

The coffee was just a joke..
I was just wondering if your car would be @ FordFair this year..

Got my Fiesta a bit tuned up and am taking it on the track again.
(now @ 138hp and 240Nm torque, a lot more than the 100 hp it came with)

[mk2 cossie]

Hows the install going on this Gerry?

Not seen or heard it driving about yet 

[v6gerry]

Hi Paul yes back on road now after a big problem all going ok at mo you might here a V6 burble in your neck of the woods !!!!! Feels strange to drive after a long time off road !!
Hows your going ?

[mk2 cossie]

Glad to hear it's back on the road 

I know what you mean about feeling strange after they haven't been used for a while though 
Shall try and keep an ear out for you on your travels though 

[Lemon-Ade]

Bet your having fun now mate  just need spring to get started now lol

[fordrwd4ever]

Great that your car is finally on the road again.

Once the weather gets a bit better, you can enjoy driving it

[v6gerry]

yep im sure am all going well at mo , thanks for your kind replys chaps 

[v6gerry]

its now all going ok dare I say im not quite sure if the T4 turbo is the best match its a little laggy low down but fine from around 2500 rpm I still got to take it back to Tommy for him to adjust the map live so that might help , will see what he says about different turbo , I went with T4 cos it bolted straight on so didn't need a new manifold ,

[mk2 cossie]

Could always go for a gt series turbo on there Gerry 

Glad its all going OK, you don't realise how much you enjoy driving an old car til you haven't had it for months

Hi Paul yes i thought about the GT turbo , i had a chat with tommy and looks like a boug waner twin scrol is the way to go , lots of ££££ and a new manifold will be needed , but for now im just loving jumping in and driving it .
hows yours going now got the new plenem fitted ?

[v6gerry]

HI im trying to find a rear blade type adjustable ARB for my escort if anyone knows where i may get one from please let me know please cheers

[mk2 cossie]

Is the one that Rally Design list for Sierra with compression struts any good to use?
There's a few different thicknesses and they list the parts seperately too 

[v6gerry]

yes ive know of those ones but not adjustable , and have heard they not to good ! Thanks for the heads up 

[mk2 cossie]

Any luck with the rear ARB for the Escort Gerry? 

[v6gerry]

Hi Paul yes ive found two companys ive just got to have a measure up , may have to make a new fuel tank but i was going to any way ,
hows yours going have you tried the new plenum yet ?

[v6gerry]
