I have had experience of both headers wrapped in exhaust wrap and have had a set of headers coated by camcoat in the uk. The exhaust wrap works very well in keeping temps down you can even brush your hand or arm against the exhaust while the engine is fully up to temp :shock: . However it will rot y...

Well done Owain and Adrian Looking forward to more videos

Always a hard one to diagnose a prob without the car infront of you, but a couple of questions for you How quickly was the car turning over? what is the cold cranking rate of your battery? The fact it bumpstarts very easy tends to point in the direction of starter or the batery itself hence my two q...

Nice one Chris. shame you was unable to put your foot down would of sounded even better, still the best looking and sounding car of the bunch. although we may be biased.

We are using a 14 inch wheel which is from the ford RS range. It has a very thick rim in leather and find it ok at speed but is heavy when parking. I think 14 inch is the smallest people use in general. As a note of interest the spline of the steering shaft is the same as that from a mk1 escort or a...

I have used one of Brian Postles rebuild build kits and although it is a bit fiddley it is doable and the the window worked well once it was done.

Just thought I would update this thread a little. Took the car to the national assoc street clubs (Hot Rods and Customs) weekend event in suffolk over the Bank Holiday weekend in August. One of the organized events is a cruise that takes place on Saturday afternoon. This cruise involves some 600 car...

Was thinking about rear disc's and my thoughts were to use sierra cosworth/granada as these have a built in hand brake and are readily availible and fair priced. My worries are how to work out what master cylinder to use as the rear calipers and front calipers will need a greater volume of fluid. Wo...
