Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Zetec conversion
Mark, My guess is that you should be OK pressure wise as long as it's not massively high, as the fuel pressure rail will set the correct pressure and the return should handle the excess.

[Quantum Owners] QMOPS on Saturday
Having just spoken to Eddie, he is not currently ready for a QMOPS meeting down at his workshop on Saturday, so the alternative is a meeting down at the barn in Dorset. If we have enough interest, we will meet at the barn to catalogue and box up metal parts from 003, ready to be taken away for shot blasting and electroplating. If you are interesting in this please contact me asap, st...@h4-turbo.co.uk. If we don't have enough interest I will cancel this meet and we will put extra effort into the August meeting.

[Quantum Owners] Xtreme Headlight
Feel free to laugh and point, but can someone please tell me how to open up the Xtreme headlight, so I can change the bulb? I've removed the allen head bold from the top of the case, then tried pulling, prising and twisting the front part of the headlight to open the casing. There are holes in the bottom, but they appear to be just drain holes, so I'm completely stumped :( Regards, Steve -- www.h4-turbo.co.uk www.quantumowners.co.uk www.quantumcars.co.uk www.quantumheritage.co.uk -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.

[Quantum Owners] QOC Website
I've just been taking a critical look at the QOC website and I feel we need more photos of the cars, so I thought, how about adding a gallery? I personally have enough photos of my own to do this, but rather that seeing the same cars all the time, I would like some new and interesting pictures to add. Therefore, if you have an interesting photo of a Quantum that you have taken I would like to post it on the club website. I know some people like to obscure their numberplate when posting pictures onto the internet, so if that is the case just let me know when you send the image and I'll make the necessary edits, if you're not comfortable doing it yourself. Additionally I may need to make edits or crops to the image, but I'll try to keep that to a minimum. Please send you image(s), the larger the better, directly to my email address, st...@h4-turbo.co.uk, rather than to this group and I can start work on a gallery of cars. Make sure to send your full name, so I can credit the photo to you, plus any other useful information I can add. If I get enough submissions I'll create a gallery for each model. As an aside, the club's web team are always interested in feedback about the site, or information to add, so please contact the team, webmas...@quantumowners.co.uk.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Guaranteed value
This is in progress. Your committee are working together with the owners of Quantum Sports Cars and Quantum Kit Cars, together with Footman James to get agreed value insurance premiums, as was mentioned at the AGM. Keep an eye for news in QM and on the website as and when it becomes available. Having been privy to some of the conversations it is not that straight forward to implement, but the committee are working to make it as easy as they can.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Guaranteed value
This is the chicken and egg - without agreed replacement value insurance, the car's value will decrease, which isn't helped by the ebay market value. If the club can help to put more value on the cars and be very specific about the value of an individual car the prices can hopefully stabilise and rise.

[Quantum Owners] Saloon TCAs
How do I tell if I have the Mk3 or Mk4 Escort TCAs fitted to my Saloon? I think I need to replace the inner TCA bushes before getting the alignment done, but most places only list inner poly bushes for the Mk3 escort, so if I have Mk4 TCAs would I need to source rubber ones? I've already poly bushes the ARB and outer TCA, plus the rear arms, which made a uge difference to the handling, but it's still a little sloppy and destroyed the front tyres very quickly. I hoping that poly bushing the rest and having the alignment properly set up will save me going through the next pair of fronts quicker that I can wear the rears out on the Xtreme.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Engine Mounts for lowering Pinto engine.
Dan, I don't know that I can help, but which Pinto engine are you installing? ie, what capacity and carb or fuel injection? If you are fitting a fuel injection engine you will struggle to get the engine low enough to fit the inlet manifold under the bonnet. Also be where that the Pinto sump sits about 50mm below the chassis and can be damaged, so you may need to shorten that too.

Re: [Quantum Owners] H4 IVA Approval - Weights ?
Elliot, I would suggest a phone call to Eddie Ruskin at Quantum Kits Cars would be very helpful as he should be able to assist with the information you are after. His contact details are in the FAQ section of the club website; http://www.quantumowners.co.uk/faq-qoc/31-faq-general/142-qoc-faq-quantum- contacts.html I'm not aware of any H4 owners going through IVA, but other members have put cars through IVA so should be able to offer general advise.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Pinto - getting it to run cooler in an Xtreme
If it has got worse over time it is likely to be either a rad (and possibly engine system in general) full of crud, as Bob Craig's suggestion, or like my Saloon rad and losing the cooling fins due to age. If it used to be OK definitely worth looking at those 2 areas.

[Quantum Owners] Searching for Q2-245
I'm hoping someone on hear may be able to help me trace the current owner of Q2-245. Within some spares donated to the QMOPS project I have found mounts for the panhard rod that should have been fitted to the car as a safety upgrade. I have already contacted the last known club member owning this car, who was helpful, but couldn't locate any contact details for the new owner. If you own the car, or know who does/might please contact me off list.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Shudder when braking
Stuart, As Jim said it could be warped discs, but when do you get the judder? If it's only after some frequent heavy braking, such as track day action, or dashes between roundabouts, then it might just be the pads over heating, especially if you has standard after market pads.

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).

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme on the track
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.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Xtreme on the track
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] Saloon front dampersKen,
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] Re: Can I get a copy of a build manual?
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.

Re: [Quantum Owners] 3 times stronger?
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.

[Quantum Owners] Stoneleigh 2012
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.

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

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

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

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

Re: [Quantum Owners] Re: Insurance time
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.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Quantum Kit Cars ( The End )
On behalf of the committee I would like to thank Eddie for the hard work he has put into the Quantum brand in the 14 years I've been associated with the club and look forward to his continued support. I personally believe Eddie is doing the right thing by putting his family 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.

I would like to be the first to thank Eddie for all his support and enthusiasm for the Quantum marque over many many year and look forward to his continued support. I wish Eddie all the best with his Dynamic Mouldings business, and hope that it is successful in the near future.

[Quantum Owners] ECUs
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.

Re: [Quantum Owners] Engine Cold in the Morning
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.

Re: [Quantum Owners] H4 door glass
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.

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