Fiesta track car winter freshen up( GO FASTER mods coming)

thats looking awesome dalsy! it'll be a proper revvy track engine. how are you controlling the VVT or are you using vernier pulleys? you wouldn't happen to have a zetec inlet manifold for twin carbs lying spare would you?

Cool

. . . I've heard of that wee tweak before with using a shift light to switch it... could you give us a wee shout if it goes ok coz I'm thinking of building a new turbo engine possibly based on a st170.

just out of interest who would you be using/recommend to set your carbs up when its going??

is the bottle of bud on the scuttle panel a special engine additive dalsy?? :lol:

is that Seditas Cars in prestwick? I work in prestwick and I've been in there a couple of times getting jets for webber and stuff and they're quite helpful and knowledgable about carbs... always some tidy cars in there too.. I think they set the cars up on the road though bcoz there wasn't any rollers to my memory last time I was in there.

Yes thatsthe name of the company, dont have rollers , but Im just looking to have the carbs balanced , and the throttle position sensor checked is OK

Thats the engine all but complete now, and the new B&M shifter fitted also

Next its the suspension, and brakes
