Re: [Quantum Owners] H4 headlamp cover

2020-09-29 Thread 'Steve Kodz' via Quantum Owners Group
Ian's family business is Charlesworth and Son. 
https://www.charlesworthmouldings.co.uk/

He built a 2+2 then H4, so knows the cars quite well. I guess if QSC don't 
have any try contacting Ian via that link.

Re: [Quantum Owners] H4 EFI ECU

2017-12-20 Thread &#x27;Steve Kodz' via Quantum Owners Group

Julian,

The ECU is indeed located behind the glove box as standard on the H4, 
replicating the location of the Mk3 Fiesta. It'll most likely be a 
rectangular metal box.  To remove it you need to undo the rubber grommet 
in the engine bay then remove the wiring that is secured with a bolt (M6 
I think).  The ECU should then unclip and drop into the foot well.


I'll leave you in Jim's capable hands to determine the correct/best ECU 
for you.


Regards,
Steve

Jim, Bill

Thanks for the note re the spares supply Bill, I may well need it, 
although the engine is running pretty well so it's not a case of 
fixing something dead. It just doesn't feel quite right.


Jim, the car is H4 GTX which people seem to know about. (It's 
currently white, although it was once yellow it seems.)


The ECU is behind the glove box. Nearby are the air bag controller (no 
air bags so I assume this is just to keep the management stuff happy), 
and the immobiliser box (brown plastic). I took a photo of the ECU and 
it looks just like the ones on e-bay (it looks a bit like an 
over-sized hard drive), though I cannot see the connector end so 
haven't confirmed the ident code. So I think I have located the right box.


From your comments, would it be sensible to swap the original ECU with 
a Mondeo unit? If so which one? Ideally I'd want to be able to have it 
programmed - the car has non standard manifold and exhaust, no cat, 
modded inlets, and that's just what I can see. Unless it has been 
tweaked (of which I have no evidence, so I'm assuming not), it can't 
be running as well as it might and I've read the 1.6Si settings can 
blow the 2L engine, though I suspect only if you get on to a track and 
push hard!


That said, I assume any compatible ECUs would not have the programming 
ports either.


Your expert comments are really appreciated!

I'll check out the MAF and injectors tomorrow.

Yes, the diagnostic port is just a 3 pin connector, usually in
loom across the rear of the engine bay.
There is also often an identical connector that is for the octane
adjusting plug.
If you find a 3 pin connector with a plug with a loop of wire
connected into it, then that is the octane plug.
Not that it will help you much as it’s pre OBD standards and will
only work with a specific diagnostics code reader.
You can get the codes out with an led and switch but it’s fun
counting the flashes.
The mondeo Ecu’s are still around and you are lucky your H4 is
based on a 1.6SI as thats the only Fiesta loom that is pin
compatible with the early Mondeo 2.0 ecus.
While you are in the engine bay see what the part number on the
MAF is and what colour the ring on the rear of the injectors is.
Just noticed you mentioned the ECU is above the glovebox, are you
sure thats not an alarm control box, the ecu is under the drivers
side of the dash (unless yours is LHD) ,  next to the door pillar.
Is your H4 Blue ?

Jim
That's really helpful, thanks.
I've since been told that the diagnostics port, if it has one, is
not part of the ECU itself but separate and can be located just
about anywhere.
Your comments re the ECU being compatible are really interesting.
I guess it raises the question as to what the best solution is.
I'm guessing finding an appropriate 2L ECU is not as simple as it
sounds. But step 1 is finding out what is in there!

Re: [Quantum Owners] H4 EFI ECU


You just need to undo the clamp from under the dash.
Then, in the engine bay undo the M10 bolt in the centre of the
big connector and the ecu will drop down into the car.
The 2.0 won’t run very well with a 1.6ecu as the 2.0 has a
different MAF and injector size.
But that’s the next step , first find out what the ecu is, you
are looking for a 4 letter code that usually spells a word.
I think GURU was the 1.6si code and DEEP, DESK and another 4
letter word begining with D were the 2.0 Mondeo ecus
   

[Quantum Owners] Club Website

2013-07-30 Thread Steve Kodz
Just a quick note to warn everyone that I expect the club website to be down 
for a few days, from Friday 2nd August.  I am moving to a different ISP, 
which should mean we have more than enough bandwidth for the club website 
for many years to come.

This will also affect any email to the quantumowners.co.uk domain, plus my 
personal h4-turbo.co.uk domain.

Steve

Also what about 'roll' on the track? Where did you manage to get the springs

Steve - Did you just get standard package for mk3 fiesta turbo from AVO?

If going with the AVO or Gaz setup check if you can choose your spring 
rates, as the AVO setup on my H4 was very firm.  Ideally getting the car 
corner weighted and specific spring rates and lengths would make an awesome

Re: [Quantum Owners] what rubber for xtreme

2013-06-04 Thread Steve Kodz
Chris,
I can vouch for the Yoko Parada 2 tyres, as I've had a few of these on my 
Xtreme.  Avoid harder compounds, as the Avon ZV3's I currently have on the 
rear are wearing well, but make the handling tail happy, which is great for 
fun on track but not so good on the road.  However, as I'm wearing these 
down more the handling is getting better, but still a long way off the 
Yokos.

If you're not expecting to do many miles find something super sticky.  The 
Toyo R1Rs Ian mentions sound like a good option and something I might 
explore as the Toyos I've got on my Jag cope really well with 400bhp through 
the rear wheels.  If forget the spec, possibly T1R, but at 275/40/18 they 
might not be available in the Xtreme 195/50/15.

Regards,
Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] help qh4

2013-05-29 Thread Steve Kodz
Ian,
The later style H4 indicators were sourced from Toyota Celica (89-93 
possibly).  A quick Google image search threw up some nice after market 
ones, but make sure they are properly e-marked for IVA compliance.

For the headlight covers and side sill trim contact Mark Burley at QSC 
(i...@quantumcars.eu)

It's 13 years since I put my H4 through SVA so not best placed to comment on 
IVA, but some owners on here have general IVA experience that could help, 
although the H4 shouldn't be too difficult to pass.

Regards,
Steve

Subject: [Quantum Owners] Alternative Parts 
 
It's sometimes useful to have a choice (especially when original supplies are 
running low), maybe we can compile an "Alternative Quantum Parts List"..
Needing a number plate light for the Rickman (same No Plate lights as 2+2) has 
led me to a Transit light of very similar dimensions 1985 on, cost for 2 new 
ones £7.90 off our favourite online auction site. The hole in the GRP will need 
reducing to enable a tight fit around the 'clips' on the rear, however the good 
news is that the new light fully covers the old hole, so it could be 
(carefully) patched with no painting required. Martin

All,
Sorry for the outage on the QOC website today.

There was an extended power outage at my home today, which obviously went on 
for longer than my UPS could last, so everything was down until I could

Hi all.
 
As promised some notes about the polycarbonate windows that i have fitted to 
the side screens on the Xtream. There was lots of interest at Stoneleigh.
 
I have removed the orginal side screen tops and replaced them with 
Polycarbonate so there is an unrestricted view out of the side. i have to be 
honest it is great like driving with out the doors on. The view is excellent.
 
The material i used is 4mm Lexan polycarbonate with margard scratch protection. 
The company i found to make them are ACW motor sport in Nailsea near bristol 
(no presonal interest). i saw them at a mini show a couple of years ago. It has 
taken this long to get organised. Tony is the man at ACW i have since spoken to 
him so he will be aware if you call about Quantum Xtream doors. Contact details 
are below he is very helpful and has had kit cars in the past. 
 
I made templates out of hardboard and ACW cut them and polished the edges, they 
will drill the fixing holes if you want or leave you to do them. The cost was 
£100 but there are various options which can make it cheaper or more expensive. 
You can have them with out the scratch protection and they can also get 5mm if 
you want  them thicker. They can also get tinted if that is what you want. Call 
Tony to discuss it.
 
I will write an article for QM with all the details but this should get most 
people going. I have only had them on a couple of weeks but love the solution 
already. Be aware i have had to fit a bar to strengthen the section from the 
fibreglass door bottom section to the hinge on the frame as with the 4mm it was 
bending more than i liked. I will be fitting a full length bar which will 
finish it off and look better. I like all kit car items it is still work in 
progress.
 
If you have any questions you can give me a shout on here or my details are in 
QM i am the treasurer.
 
Cheers Paul.

Re: [Quantum Owners] QOC new insurance scheme

2013-05-10 Thread Steve Kodz
QOC members can log into the club website to see the details Andy promised 
this morning.  There is a dedicated phone number, plus a link to a QOC on-
line quotation system.

Please keep myself and Andy updated with any thoughts and problems while we 
roll this out.

Moving forward, it would be very useful if you send photos and valuation 
forms to Adrian Flux, that a copy are forwarded for club records, so we can 
keep an eye on the valuations received and try to ensure these are 
consistent and suitable for purpose.

Finally, a big thank you to Andy for all his hard work setting this up.

Interior only adds weight and slows you down.  Come to think of it, so do 
doors and a roof ;)

Stoneleigh is now only 2 weeks away, so I hope everyone has their Quantum on 
the road.

I'm looking forward to seeing the many members at the show and supporting 
the club at the AGM.  Fay has prepared an agenda, that is available for club 
members on the website, so please take some time log into the site and print 
your copy.

If any member has an item for discussion at the AGM please contact any 
committee member or find us at the show.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Insurance Update

2013-04-14 Thread Steve Kodz
Yes, we will be looking for feedback.  Unfortunately Andy negotiated such a 
fantastic deal with Footman James that it has been impossible to get 
anywhere near it.

With luck, the ne insurance scheme will continue to bring in plenty of 
commission revenue for the club, so we can keep running the events we plan.

[Quantum Owners] Insurance Update

2013-04-14 Thread Steve Kodz
Sitting watching the Chinese GP this morning, Andy Heaton and myself have 
managed to upload details of indicative insurance quotes for young drivers 
aged 17-25.  Andy has concentrated on these policies, since Footman James 
are currently unable to provide them with policies.

Full details are available to club members by logging into the club website.

Expect more information on other policies at the AGM next month.

Have you tried Mk2 Scirocco?

But they do last.  The one I had Pace make for my H4 many years ago has 
survived well.  The only issue I had was down to me and Pace were able to 
repair that.

So far it's about 10 years old.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon Radiator/Hoses

2013-03-13 Thread Steve Kodz
Mine is a cheap 3rd party one that has lost all the fins, so struggles to 
cool even in these temperatures.

I would like an alloy one, if I could get one for reasonable money.

Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2.0 Mondeo Silvertop Zetec and IB5 Series 2 LSD Gearbox - which clutch to use

To update what Jim has replied, with additional detail:

2. Yes, as it's in a Zetec engined H4, so will be Mk3 Fiesta based.

4. Yes, as above, Zetec engined donor.


Any luck with someone to perform the conversion for you?

John,
Welcome to Quantum ownership.

I'm not sure how many members we have in the Bury St Edmunds area, but I'm 
sure there must be someone local to you.

No doubt you will have lots of questions about the car, so feel free to post 
them here as we are a friendly bunch.

I look forward to meeting you at a show some time soon.

Regards,
Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] Exciter Diode

2013-03-02 Thread Steve Kodz
OK- this time it was may fault.

I have replaced the cable between the alternator and starter motor, to 
upgrade it.  I didn't crimp one of the joints well enough and it failed.

I've no idea how that cable didn't short to earth and cause some damage!

Jon,
Of course we will have you in the QOC.

We are aware of changes at Footman James which have affected the club rates 
we had, plus insurance cost rises have moved quotes in the wrong direction.  
Andy Heaton is working very hard behind the scenes to secure club members a 
good insurance deal.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Exciter Diode

2013-03-01 Thread Steve Kodz
Thanks Jim.

The original stopped working, I think due to corrosion.  I replaced that 
with a standard diode, can't remember the specifics, but that broke the wire 
where it enters the body, despite adding strength to the package wrapped in 
self amalgamation tape.  That lasted about a year.

The latest failure has lasted a couple of journeys, but I haven't taken it 
off the car to test - it may be a dead alternator though.

Will have to spend time over the weekend taking a good look.

Regards,
Steve

[Quantum Owners] Exciter Diode

2013-02-28 Thread Steve Kodz
After getting another flat battery on my Saloon, I really need to replace 
the exciter diode that plug into the wiring from the alternator with the 
proper diode.  The original one fell apart and was replaced with the best 
option I could find in Maplin, but this has failed twice.

Can anyone help me locate one as per the attached photo, or suggest a 
suitable replacement?

It's cold in the Xtreme at this time of year!

Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] H4 Electric Windows

2013-02-26 Thread Steve Kodz
Andrew,
The H4 used the donor electric windows, so the easiest way would be to find 
a donor car and remove all the bits from there.  I would guess you need the 
motors and assembly from inside the doors, electrical connections that run 
into the doors and switches.  You might find that there are already parts of 
the wiring loom in place, or that this a a separate loom that can be added.

Hopefully someone else will be able to add some more detail.

Regards,
Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] 2+2 engine will not start when hot

2013-02-23 Thread Steve Kodz
It's supposed to be a common issue with the CVH engine, which has the 
starter motor behind the exhaust.  I've never had the problem on either of 
my CVH engined cars, including the turbo, which could make the issue worse.  
Ford did make a heat shield for the starter motor, but I think these are 
difficult to find.

Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] Mk2 Saloon door Glass.

2013-02-21 Thread Steve Kodz
I searched my archive and found the following that I'd posted back in 2005 - 
I'll put it in a FAQ on the club website:

I can confirm that this is from a MkII Astra 3 door 1984-1991.

I found an very helpful company who were able to help as Quantum had been 
told
that it was MkI Astra glass used, but Andy was correct in telling me it was
MkII Astra.  They said that they can usually source hard to find glass and
windows rubbers.  http://www.oldschoolwindscreens.co.uk

Sorry about the plug, but they really were that helpful and sound like a
useful company to know.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: H4 targa roof

2013-02-09 Thread Steve Kodz
I think they are originally made from an alloy, hence the failure.  Might be 
better to make from steel and properly rust proof?

They are from the leading edge of the Mk3 Fiesta sun roof and probably get 
more stressed in the H4.

Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] Who has info on 1.0 eco boost engine

2013-01-01 Thread Steve Kodz
Hans,
I think you will find the ECU controlling the engine also controls or links 
into other systems within a modern car, so you would need to transfer a lot 
of other systems and sensors to retain the existing ECU.  The far easier 
option would be fitting an after market ECU.  There are plenty of options 
out there depending on your budget.

Sounds like an interesting project though.

Steve

Sorry to hear this.  What car do you have, as I'm guessing you need either a

You could maybe try calling Mark Burley at QSC who may have stock?

Re: [Quantum Owners] H4 door glass

2012-10-05 Thread Steve Kodz
Jase,
The glass carriers are from the Mk3 Fiesta and I'm not sure if these differ 
between the 3 and 5 door versions.  They are fixed at either end mainly to 
provide a stop height for the glass, but they also can make the glass locate 
slightly more solidly when up.

These were supplied in the kit, but should be easy to find in a scrap yard, 
if they have Mk3 Fiestas.

Sorry I can help with photos as I don't expect to see my Quantums for at 
least another week :(

Regards,
Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] Engine Cold in the Morning

2012-09-30 Thread Steve Kodz
Chris,
Welcome to Quantum ownership, you've come to the right place to answer your 
questions.

The other Chris was referring to the accelerator pedal.  That's taught me a 
new trick too, but I've never driven an autochoke car from cold.  If this 
works you are probably on an autochoke, if not look for a know around the 
steering wheel cowel that you can pull out - you can probably pull it out 
70-100mm.  Then try starting the car from cold.  If it starts well, but runs 
fast you are definitely on a manual choke.  Once the car is started you can 
push the choke in a bit until the revs settle around 1,000rpm, possibly 
slightly more.  Just remember that you have the choke out and once the 
engine is fully warm push it fully in, or you will use more petrol that you 
need.

Regards,
Steve

[Quantum Owners] ECUs

2012-09-25 Thread Steve Kodz
What after market ECUs has anyone fitted to their cars?  I know Matthew has 
fitted a MegaSquirt, which was my plan, but I was speaking to a TVR owner at 
the weekend  who considered a MegaSquirt, but went Emerald instead.

I'm interested to hear the thoughts and experiences of the collective here.

first and it is unfortunate that we find so much useful equipment and stock 
in jeopardy.  Your committee is working hard behind the scenes to see if 
there is any way we can assist and protect these vital assets, but we 
currently do not have enough information to put forward any plans.

There are a couple of areas where members could offer their assistance.

Storage - ideally we would look to keep the spares together in one location, 
but the most difficult parts to accommodate are the moulds, which are heavy 
and take a lot of space.  However, the moulds do not necessarily need to be 
kept in a single location, so any storage available, ideally for free, or 
very little cost, could save the moulds.  Please contact me directly if you 
feel you may be able to help.

Time - speaking to Eddie, he needs assistance in completing a stock check, 
so all the assets can be identified.  If any member feels they have the time 
available, please get in contact with me, so I can coordinate directly with 
Eddie.

As I said, it is too early to have plans in place, but we don't have long to 
act.  The committee will develop some ideas and then communicate directly to 
all members in the coming weeks.

If anyone has concerns, worries or ideas please contact be directly.

Regards,
Steve - QOC Chairman

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Insurance time

2012-06-12 Thread Steve Kodz
Interesting to hear about all the FJ insurance niggles on price and I'm sure 
Andy Heaton is reading and taking note.  Those at the AGM will know that 
Andy has been trying to improve the service and quotes for the club scheme 
and is considering a possible change of supplier, if they don't improve.

In defence of the FJ price, I have yet to hear about a bad experience when 
the insurance has actually been used, ie making a claim or breakdown 
recovery.  I've never needed to make a claim myself, but know those that 
have usually accepted a very good offer and received the money quickly.  
While that doesn't necessarily justify such a high price, you need to 
consider whether it is worth paying a bit more for a high level of service?  
In the end it boils down to how much you value your time, etc.  That's not 
to say that the other companies mentioned wouldn't provide the same high 
level of service.

I can comment on the breakdown recovery service, having use it in Ireland 
and in the UK.  The service has always been acceptable at a minimum and 
never given me additional problems.

Keep the comments rolling in as we will talk about the issue you raise on 
Saturday at our next committee meeting.

Regards,
Steve

Keith,
If you fancy meeting a few members, there is a group of us touring Yorkshire 
w/b 17th June, and we would welcome yourself or any other member to join us 
for a day out.  The details are on the club website, as at my contact 
details.

If you would like to meet local members, you could suggest a time/date and 
place and work with Steven Perry to contact some local members.  I know it 
is difficult to get members together, but as club chairman I will do what I 
can to help.

Regards,
Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] Quantum H4 Suspension/Wheels/Tyres

2012-06-10 Thread Steve Kodz
Welcome to Quantum ownership and welcome to the club.

When my H4 was last on the road I was using 205/45/16 which would just about 
work without rubbing, but I was running AVO coilover suspension at all 4 
corners.  This did give a harsh ride.  It would be posible to replace the 
springs for softer one though.  I would suggest that for a good 
comfort/handling compromise 195/50/15 would be the best size tyre to run.

The offset is standard Mk3 Fiesta, ET35.

Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Converting a 2+2 into rear wheel drive

2012-06-09 Thread Steve Kodz
Michael,
Owning both fwd and rwd drive Quantums I would definitely prefer all my Qs 
to be rwd, as it's a better driving experience.  If the H4 was easy to 
convert to rwd I would be doing that instead of my current fwd project.

There is something to be said for having the front wheels steer and the 
rears power.  (Plus rwd is more fun on a track.)

Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] Converting a 2+2 into rear wheel drive

2012-06-09 Thread Steve Kodz
Keith,
Sounds like an interesting project - I know a certain Mr. Ward would be 
hugely excited if this had a V8 in the front too!

I remember hearing about a Saloon that was 4wd using Subaru Justy running 
gear and I think Darren Siepka was converting a 2+2 to either rwd or 4wd.

Aside from those cars, it is worth talking to Eddie Ruskin at Quantum Kit 
Cars/Dynamic Mouldings, as he will be able to give plenty of advise too.

I would also suggest sending an email to Jan Haines and ask in the next QM, 
edi...@quantumowners.co.uk as you will reach more Owners.

Keep us informed with progress, as it is great to hear about interesting 
projects.

Regards,
Steve

Welcome to Quantum ownership.  It's difficult to provide any general help, 
but this email group plus the club website should be a good resource for 
you, plus also the club magazine too.

If you are able to make the Newark show in a couple of weeks time you could

[Quantum Owners] Stoneleigh 2012

2012-05-07 Thread Steve Kodz
A big thank you to all the members who turned up to support the club today.  
The big news from the AGM is that there have been a few changes on the 
committee.  Andy Heatons started the AGM by asking the club members to vote in 
a new club secretary to fill the vacant role, allowing minutes to be taken. 
Faye Jeffs was duly voted into this role. 

The remainder if the committee where happy to remain in their existing roles, 
and where all voted back in. Mike Balance will be joining Russell Wilcox and 
myself looking after the website, and the big news is that Andy Heaton has 
stepped into a vice-chair role, with myself being voted in to chair. 

More updates to follow on the club website later thus week.

Regards,
Steve

Re: [Quantum Owners] 3 times stronger?

2012-03-22 Thread Steve Kodz
I can't specifically back up the 3 times stronger figure, but does this 
help?

www.h4-turbo.co.uk/Quantum/Saloon/Pics/Strong%20Stuff.jpg

There are plenty of stories about big accidents in Quantums, all of those 
I've heard resulted in a better outcome compared to tin cans, however this 
might not be the car if 2 grp cars had an accident.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Can I get a copy of a build manual?

2012-01-26 Thread Steve Kodz
I believe Eddie is OK, but do nothing until we get a definate.  I believe he 
is planning to make them available on his new site, but I am always willing 
to host on the club site.  The Sampsons did agree to having an electronic 
copy of the Saloon build manual on the club website, as this kit was 
unavailable and Eddie was happy for it to remain there.  So, if you need a 
copy of the Saloon manual it's in the members only section.

Unless you specifically need a helmet approved by the MSA(?) I would

Re: [Quantum Owners] Saloon front dampersKen,

2012-01-21 Thread Steve Kodz
Jim is correct that your Saloon will be Mk1 Fiesta based dampers and 
springs, as it's older than mu Saloon, which is in the fifties, iirc.  There 
are a bunch of washers and bushed that might need replacing, so I'd 
recommend contacting Eddie Ruskin at Quantum Kit Cars, since I believe he 
has sourced the required parts, which are very hard to get hold of.

The lower suspension parts are Mk3/4 Escort, in case you are think about 
changing bushes too.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme on the track

2012-01-19 Thread Steve Kodz
Yes, I have rerouted between the exhaust for cylinders 2 & 3, but I have put 
the cable in a heat reflective sleeve, as I thought there would be problems 
otherwise.

I also put a bit of titan seal on the sharp edge in the pedal box area, in 
case that was catching.  Hopefully it'll last longer than 25k miles this 
time.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme on the track

2012-01-19 Thread Steve Kodz
Chris,
Where did the clutch cable snap?  Mine went a couple of weeks ago about 20cm 
from the pedal.  Having looked into why I think it's a combination of the 
routing putting a bit of strain on through the bulkhead and possibly 
catching on a sharp vertical edge internal to the pedal box.  I've addressed 
both, but wondering if this might be a common problem with the Xtreme?

Changing the cable was easy, once the steering wheel was removed.

Regards,
Steve

If we can get Pam onto the group and into the club we should be able to 
assist with that, it's not like a Zetec has never been fitted to a 2+2

Re: [Quantum Owners] Quantum Coupe - CV Joint Problem

2011-12-22 Thread Steve Kodz
Can you give the group any more information about the failures, as I've 
never heard of it being an issue with the Saloon and never had a problem in 
the time I've owned one (about 9 years now).

Could it be a worn part in the gearbox or hub that is causing the problem?
