Latest mod!!!

15" Pro Plus sub
800w SPLX amp

Pics will be sorted a.s.a.p.

New secret mod in the final stages of being sorted, should be ready and installed onto/into the car in just over two weeks

Also, want to ad

Thanks to Sanchez for the sub & box, Adam for the amp & AGGY for wiring everything tog ether for me

two 12" subs like Reece's will be on the way later this year, then it'll all be getting built into one big unit

meesh ya best not trying to be a copy cat he he he, if i was you meesh i would keep with the sub youve got it is a good sub for the money Ild just go wild with it housing for it and the amp and the 50bhp shot of nos ya got the other day, are you still thinking or upping it to 100bhp

nos? me lost

aint got nos lol

dunno, still playing around with ideas for the install. Definatly gonna have the 15" upside down in the end product. Just not sure on weather to have a 12" either side of it or just have me 6*9's turned to face the back

Right, NEED ADVICE PEOPLE!

been asking a few opinions recently, gonna put it up on here tho

As some people may know, I'm coming into a bit of money in about 3 or 4 weeks time, just dont know what to spend it on!!

Idea's so far are

12" sub and amp kit
dropped 35mm
flamer kit
Co2 purge
DVD set up

19" alloys id go for !!!

flamer kit

mini moto

by the way this is adam

NO! not gettin a mini moto

wanna concentrate on gettin me car ready for the nationals before buyin one of them!

Had talks today with Scooby bout a flamer kit

I really want one, hopefully when i get this cheque I'll have enough to get one installed and working fully

the sub and amp kit would be the FUSION set up, just to keep the 15" company lol

think the purge valves are out the window till I've sorted a body kit out

DVD setup is still fancyable tho

Go for the flames

This has now gone by the way, Its in Scoops Escort lol

***UPDATE***

Twin 40 Webbers will be installed before the nationals

WOW cool man sweet like the thinking

Saw it to day mate at Scooby's its gonna be good!

d'oh! so you know what its in for then :rolleyes:

ah well, everyone will find out soon

yeah, Twin 40s in time for the nationals, then its gonna be High cam & 4-to-1 manifold. If i can get them all in time for the nationals then happy days

if not i'm concentrating on the webbers

how do you plan on stopping the car with knackered brakes

Special thanx goes to......

Oh sorry I thought i was Meesh then

lol was gonna wait till its done and the pics were up daz, but yeah. Big thanks to Daz for the help he's given me.

And Ad of course, both have been great giving me help and ideas for future mods

Was just fishin for complaments matey lol!

Dude what size eng is in ur beast???

Its now a 1.6

when did you do that meesh thats sweet man

thats what its in Autosafe for right now

1.6 from an Escort XR3. Hopefully be runnin around 97BHP

Think Scooby's doing a de-cat on the exhaust too, so that'll bump me over the magic hundred BHP mark

Now the cat has been let out of the bag i can post these pictures......

The story so far !

Escort 1600cc CVH Donor car.



Engine and Box comes out easy enough.



Now where's Dave (Mechanic) got too ??



Meesh's Fiesta hits the operating table for open heart surgery.



Undo several nut's & Bolt's.



Its a Boy.... lol... Out the knackered engine and box comes.



Hmmmmm.... HCS engine out and on the scrap heap now.



Quick coffee and Fag break.........



More pic's to follow soon, Looking good so far matey.

that wasnt a quick coffee and fag break ya liar! thats a "jesus christ what have it let meself in for?!" look and obviously all the work that you and the guys at Autosafe are doin

Hmmmmmmmmmmmm....



The engine & gearbox is all fitted in complete with driveshafts etc etc. The car is rolling so to speak.

Exhaust has been manufactured to fit also, De-Catted.

Whats left to do then ?

Fuel pipes, Coolant pipes and the wiring

It dosnt sound much left to do but none of the coolant pipes match up and are all different, The fuel is pushed to the engine on the HCS via electric fuel pump, the CVH engine sucks the fuel from the tank so need to cross that problem and finally the electrical wiring.... Dont laugh but its been about 15 years since i left college and i might have to dig into the odd wiring diagram or so to sus the wiring out, failing that it will be a short journey to a local auto-electrician.

More pics coming over the next few days or so as i get time and will keep you up-dated on the progress.

Mesh u sly devil you. Well in man absolutely chuffed for ya. 100BHP in a fezzer is gonna give you muchos speedos to avoid accidents etc....Thats the only reason to put ur foot down.Scooby!!!! We need a word!!!!


How much power does the XR2 have, i believe the RST is 130 innit?

hehe and I had you lot thinkin 'Look crazy Dazza's bought another Escort because he can!'

haha

Cat well and truley out of bag

xr2 - 107bhp i think

I hope no one from Scotland reads that. lol

I bet you cant wait to hear it ticking over,
and then feel the extra power.

Meesh and his Trojan Horse <img border="0" alt="[cool / shades]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions067.gif" />

Escort with 1 BDP (brake dave power)

get it sorted jay im sick if giving meesh a lift to work

lokin forward to seeing it going

****UPADTE****

She started today!!! :go: :cheers:

But there was a problem with the fuel pumps, which Scooby has been trying to sort today, so hopefully sometime this week she'll be back out n about

woohoo, cant wait

Soundin very nice m8.Cant wait to se,hear and feel it in axion

The engine is running, however some small problems have developed as expected though.....

The electronic fuel pump primes up nicely when the ignition is switched on but thats it, no more fuel supply therefore the engine will start but only run for approx 20 secs. To eliminate this problem we have tempararily connected the fuel pipes to the manual fuel pump and this has worked for now. The fuel tank will probably have to be changed with a carburettor fuel tank and fuel sender without the electronic fuel pump.

The coolant system is working and the coolant fan is operating correctly, however the hot engine coolant isnt travelling through the heater matrix and coolant pipes to the carburettor to operate the interior heaters and the automatic choke. This means the interior heater isnt working and the choke is staying ON and running very rich and fast idle. We need to connect the coolant pipes differently to allow a better coolant flow to these pipes, easier said than done though.....

Appart from that the project is nearly finished.

Always run unto more problems towards the end of a job

It'll be worth the wait though

Might stick a 1.1 badge on when its back <img border="0" alt="[Roll around the floor laffin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions065.gif" />

Back on the road!

Just a couple of tweaks here and there and it'll be running sweet....Apart from losing me rev counter

That Carburettor of the donor car must be playing up matey, pop in tom and we will have a fiddle with that for you.

Cheers Scooby

am I ok to come in first thing? I'll book it in for the water pump, cam belt & clutch too

no probs, i am in from about 9:15 ish.......

Idle problem now sorted

Booked in next week for a new cam belt, water pump & clutch

Already noticed the power difference lol

0-60 is down to 11.08 and I'm still getting used to the new set up. Should be able to get that time down when the new clutch, etc are on next week

quality meesh loveit. you will be giving dazza a run for his money now

LMAO! nooo

we both did 0-60 runs today, he got in the high eights

Maybe when the webbers, cam & 4-2-1 are on lol

Cough 8.2secs with you in the car - and engine wasnt at correct temperature!

Give me time Meesh and ill smash my 7.9 record I promise!

Your car is sweet fella glad you seen sense after me and Adam convinced you to get the 1.6CVH

But please please remove your modded parts and turn it sleeper stylee!

Not bad 0-60 times mate

Saw the engine in the garage, looks cool, hope you get more performance out of it.

Mods are stayin as they are!

I'm happy with the way the car is. It looks sleeper enough with the standard exhaust pokin out the back

I reckon it should stay as it is, or meesh should do more, whatever he wants but the main thing is.........The 45BHP novas tryin to blow him at the lights thinkin it is a 1.1(ish) will get the shock of their lives when meesh beats them down with 100 BHP of raw XR3 power.Do it meesh.Do it for ford.Henry would be proud

FINALLY!

Some pics

Sunstrip


New engine up n running


15" Pro Plus Sub (SPLX Amp screwed onto the box), 2 Kenwood 6*9's


Si Interior

Lookin good m8.Those seats are so comfy i love the way they hug you shoulders aswell as ur waist.

I see you have the old "tow rope in the boot look"hehee.i had a tow rope in my boot for about a year and a half and last week i realised "what the f**k is this for" i cant tow my car as both my eyes are covered by mahoosive bumpers lol. Engine bay looks lovely and full. 10/10 mate

Not full enough!

I can see space for the webbers <img border="0" alt="[Roll around the floor laffin]" title="" src="graemlins/cwemotions065.gif" />

Obviously a very good point dude but i cant see much of a bigger engine fittin in there hehee

if only the 1.8 Zetec had of worked out

I'm sure I could fit a tin of sardines in there
Lookin good meesh, I reckon you should turn the interior into some kind of paradise, black out the windows and lower it, then leave it at that

*****New 0-60 Time*****

Managed to get it down again to 10.19, its gone in today for a new clutch, cam belt and water pump. Theres also a slight problem with it starting up from cold which Autosafe are checking out

Hopefully tomorrow it'll be up and running 100% and I can start trying to beat me 0-60 times again

Also hope it'll be ready for the Rolling Road day!!!!

Seein as it was a sunny day today, went out n got the beast washed and took a few new piccies

Rear:


Front:


Close Up:


Lookin soooo small lol


Bit of advertisment:

Wow mate.ive never seen the colour that dark before,i thought it was purple??? sweet pics mate

Its classed as "Aubergene" (sp) so its basically very dark purple. In some light you can see the purple, in other light you can just see the darkness, so it looks black

I like it not gonna re-spray

I bet that thing moves now Meesh! Keep it looking like that though, it'll give a few people a nice surprise

it already has

Got round to fitting me clear side repeaters today

EVERY LITTLE HELPS!

Now riding on a set of 15" TSW Stealth

Had the boot open twice today

1/8 mile strip at the nationals was run

Not very happy with it, but the surface was appaling, bumpey, un-even and gritty, struggled to get traction

still, its something to aim for next time!

Also a little update, LED gear knob is now in

I'm also gonna keep the number on me rear window from the 1/8 mile strip on as long as possible too lol I like it

Newer pics to come soon

Looking good meeshette!

Girls are a top mod!

They must'nt do your MPG any good

Guys at the garage must love it when your car goes in for a service

lmao

Lol, "where do I lift this bonnet from?"

Nice Meesh, interior's lookin lively

there's 2 small round'ish buttons on each model, push it right and bobs ya uncle

LMAO!

sorry, in a rudey modd tonight

Could possibly be goin under the hood again in the future

me n dazza talked about this last night...definatly staying hush hush tho

need to go n speak to the technicians involved

i may have mentioned it in front of sted and a few others at the "fun" later that night, so if you guys heard, keep shtum

but it'll be schweeeeeet!

lookin tidy mate saw it last night sorry bout the flashing blue lights in ma grill didnt mean to scare you! lol

meesh lookin swet mate got some 17"'s inmy house wont em cheap?

You thinking of getting an RS Turbo engine again?

Good luck keeping it workin for more than 100miles at a time

nooo, not goin near a turbo, too much trouble

tupac, got any pics? do they have tyres?

Need 2 new tyres other or good will send you some pics.

sorted let me know in ya reply mate

if its a yeah gotta run round bodyshops and get prices of the arch work

think last time i asked it worked out about £15 per arch

I know ur plans "unda da hood" meesh and they sound mint. Although RS turbo motor wud be boss. 700 Pound is all it costs to tune the RST motor to 190BHP. A nice reliable 190 aswell. No melting components or rods shootin out of the bottom end. Good luck meesh. Gonna be mint;)

ay? who told ya bout the plan? aint seen ya to tell ya lol

it wont be for at least 3 months, but when it finally comes

weeeee!

Sted was out with me on friday night as i was passin thru the wirral on the way from cornwall to scotland. Picked up my new car on the way through.Cant wait to get under my hood. My new cars faster but its still not fast enough

Engine work is not bein done now

If all plans out right the car will be either for sale as it is or bein broken to sell parts seperatly pretty soon

had another change of heart, keeping her, she's part of me now, I love her too much...

So I've treated her to a new headunit

Panasonic CQ C1311

50W x 4 High-Power WMA MP3 CD Player/Receiver

5V/60 ohms Dual Preamp Outs
Sound Quality
Mute
Separate Bass, Treble, Balance, Fader
18FM, 6MW(LW) Station Presets
Selectable AF Sensitivity
Auto Preset Memory with Scan
Automatic TA Volume Adjustment
Seek Tuning with DX/Local Switch
CD-R/CD-RW Playback
WMA/MP3 Playback
ID3 Tag
CD Text Display
Removable Faceplate

as a result of replacing me headunit...me systems now louder!

well chuffed with it

no comment

an improvement but not a fan of panasonic.Get a new engine

get an engine

if you want it iv got an 16 zetec

Neovo1 hes not interested, i have a 1.6Zetec and 1.6CVH and still nothing is done

would it be cheaper to

A.Take that XR3 CVH out and bin it and drop an RST motor in or

b.Get all the bits from an RST motor and stick it into the current engine.The only differences (i think) are the pistons,rods,and crank. So get forged pistons,rods and balanced crank.Then get the RST turbo and hosing/exhaust put in,that way you have a reliable motor and you wont have to source and swap a full engine

Or if ya dont do either of them

A.Recon your engine and get it carbed on 45/45s

B.Chuck the 1.6 ZETEC in and get it to 100+BHP on cams and MAF/TB from a bigger lump etc

cleaned up me spark plugs yesterday as they had white deposits all over the end

skint already so gotta wait till next month to buy some new ones lol

but the car is respondin better since cleanin em up a bit

RST engines are unreliable. I think Meeshs car is fine the way it is.

What was the white stuff on them or shouldnt I ask ? lol

aint got a clue lmao!!

but it didnt look good

definatly replacing them next payday

thanks for the comment vik

if you've got a haines manual it tells you what wrong with your car by what your spark plugs look like... mine has it in the back page

Click Me

looks like engine overheating?

actually looks like the 2nd one

dirty air filter, replaced it on friday

me old one was completely black LMAO!

hadnt replaced it since the engine swap

all is goin well now tho

good stuff

Little update:

New Spak Plugs fitted

New Sub: JBL GTO 15"

New Amp: SPLX 300w to power 6*9's

New Battery: Bigger and more powerful
