MMMMMMMMMMMM possible to low think

Thought i would try the car with the 80mm drop on some 195/60/14 NO CHANCE sits for to low looks good but would rip the bumper off 1st time a ran a bump over raftl

Going to start the suspension swap on weds then its just little things that need doing to get it on the road.

When that happens i am going to get new arches and sideskirts so i can get the old one's off as they are fooked.

Just thought i would update the car pics alittle.

Car looks alot better with the wheels on just need to sort out a couple of problems now.

Drivers door pin (door drops alittle when opened)

Power steering pumps gone and it makes a horrible sound when turning.

Car stalls alot when could and only idles at 500 rpm.

Carnt open the boot propley need to pull a wire from inside to open it.

clutch is very strange very low.

Need to swap the back springs as i am lazy and have only done the fronts.

Might be getting shocks and springs soon as i dont like the ride anyway.

Need different wheels but that can wait.

Side skirts and arches are comming off as the are hanging on (JUST)

Bonnet and boot are a different shade of blue

Boot needs rubbing down and spraying again.

There is more but i think i have said enough to keep me bizzy for a couple of weeks.

ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEA'S FOR SIDE SKIRTS AND ARCHES.

The clutch is low b'cos its a good/new one mate, thats how there ment to feel (The bite is low, just as you life the clutch pedal it moves).

Come round my garage sometime and i'll try that 2.0/1.6 TB, that should sort the idle problem mate

If your just wanting to re-attach them then Windscreen bonding stuff is the daddy
happy

Know someone who used it (Without screws or other fastenings) on some sideskirts and a bonnet vent on a 306 a couple of years ago and they are still attached smile

Idle problem is the adjustment screw, it wont screw out. As said I have a 2.0/1.6 TB that should do the trick

Had a little play with the car today to try and sort a couple of problems out.

1st thing i did was get the dam thing running proplr managed that so it dosnt want to stall everytime you dip the clutch (did idle at 600rpm).

Had a look about under the car to see if i could sort the power steering problem out only to find it hard to see with all the oil and fluid all over the bottom of the engine. Did notice that the pump itself isnt bolted on proper so will have a go on sat (ran out of light) and hopfully that will help.

Also started making plans to remove all the skirts looks like i am going to need a drill (again bad light stoped play) as some screws are well srewed.

To open the boot on my car you need to pull a speeker wire (this mod will catch on) so i am going to fit a solenoid from a xr2i is this a easy job.

Anthoer problem i have is the door pins buggered and the door drops when you open it. No matter what i did i couldnt get the pin out (bottom one) does anybody have the tool ford use as its a pain in the arse to do.
