[Quantum Owners] Re: new saloon owner asking for advice
I agree with not using the gunge in a can. i have a 15" steel focus space saver(T125/80 tyre size) wheel as a spare in the coupe and it fits in the original space behind the back seat.for the 2+2 i have a focus rs space saver alloy (16") with a T115/70 tyre from a lancia hf turbo fitted , although i have larger than std wheels/tyres(205/40/16 ) on the 2+2.

Yeh the 105 made me think 105ps or maybe 105k mileage! i suspected that it was a bit of a boo but thought i would check with you guys ,i don't suppose that the capacity is marked clearly on the block or head somewhere easily accessable is it to verify further? Still is that not too bad a value for a 1.8blacktop? he wants 100 for the autobox on top if thats required too which again isn't that bad either. just a last thought ,ford didn't ever make mention of any prototype 1.4 in the blacktop did they ? i know that the silvertops nearly had a 1.4 version in the very beginning i am sure ford must have made some protos of them?

[Quantum Owners] Re: Quantum Heritage no mor???
If the club got it's hands on the brand then maybe it could let approved persons/companies create new or variantions of the cars and STILL call them a quantum without charging an armand a leg for the privilage !!! When i do get to build/get built my new coupe version i WANT to call it a quantum cos it will look like one of the family but i can't do that without permission/license of/from the company.I am sure Eddie would have a much easier life too if he didn't have too make his changes so different, or maybe Eddie would give us a new car too add to the range? When old Q was for sale i started work on looking into buying with a friend but when he pulled out i couldn't raise the money so had to drop it , in different circumstances i would still seriously consider buying it ... oh it's so cruel!!!

[Quantum Owners] Re: Quantum Kit Cars is born.
Just like to add my congrats to eddie :-) Re: engines , i thought the 1.25 and 1.4engines from the Ka and later fiestas had bearing issues at relatively low mileages, even without failure they do seem to get very "kent" style tappy quite early in their lives. what about rover engines? the headgasket issues that plagued the early k series seems to have gone quiet and both std type auto and flappy paddle cvt gearboxes are available depending on model(see gearboxproblems below) Re:gearboxes , sorry tony,you and i would be left wanting as the Ka has no auto variant(if they did i would have had to get the missus a convertible version for her a long time ago). the late fiestas had the odd semi auto option (a manual but well toleranced gearbox with some servos and a electrical/hydraulic operated clutch system added on)which due to changes in weight and aerodynamics could cause some ecu issues , but also had the CVT that the earlier models had(almost exaclty the same as the one i have in the coupe),but i have only ever seen them on the 1.25 although it was apparently made in 1.4 as well. the only other option if space permitted would be the boxes from the late focus , a proper auto but quite a bit bigger. Re: other thoughts. a while back i did some research together with jim to find an alternative rear axle for coupe and 2+2 models. i measured a few fiesta mk3,4 and Ka axles.therewere many track variants but all were quite a bit wider than what we had.i will have to look the data up but i seem to remember it being about 70mm!! oversize. i dontknow what thoughts have been made of windscreen but if the whole body was being split centre front to rear to widen for the windscreen/dash then axle and engine bay width problems would also be resolved anyway.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Brake master and servo Help !
if you look on the club site you will see an article that i did some time ago. i used an escort servo and m/c but they look similar to the mondeo ones(bet if you looked on microcat they probably are).the setup works well even with xr4x4 front calipers(same as mondeo and cougar v6) and peugeot rears , oh and no G valves on the coupe.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Quantum Kit Cars is born.
Oh yes .. i DO like my CVT in the coupe but really glad i found one attached to a 1.4 CVH and not the mr tappy crossflow that most are . CVT takes a bit of getting used to but i have to agree with an article that i read some time ago ,the best thing was to think of the throttle as you would in a boat, open the throttle and watch the speed rise then when you get to the desired speed(or get on the plane in a boat)then back off too just enough to keep it there... :-) Darren On Dec 15, 5:05 pm, michaelhughe...@aol.com wrote: > In a message dated 14/12/2010 10:13:38 GMT Standard Time, j...@quantums.info > > writes: > > you can get autoboxes for the crossflow engines in the mk3and 4 > > > fiestas,i nearly had one in the coupe ! yuk > > One man's meat.. > > We have at least one enthusiastic club member who was only able to continue > driving his Quantum by fitting an auto box - and he was by no means a > wrinkly either. > > A further point is that a Constant Velocity drivetrain is much more > efficient than a system with an hydraulic torque converter (or slush box). > > Michael -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.

[Quantum Owners] Re: 2+2 Zetec conversion
regarding my 2+2 4x4 most of the key work has been completed , only plumbing and wiring is left to do.The rear driveshafts are mere stubs between the cv's the distance is so small ,means std bodywork though :-) But due to my ongoing issues with my lower back and legs things are on hold for the mo. But i did manage to source an interesting anomaly in place of the mt75.. A sierra 4x4 AUTOMATIC gearbox! now it would seem ford has never admitted to building one of these but the person i got it from said it was removed from a 2.9v6 G plate sierra 4x4!. I have sourced a suitable 4 pot bellhousing which a local company has said they can mod to fit. If i can just get my friend to stop tinkering with his renault 5 turbo 2 replica i might get it finally finished.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Turbos
from my reading on the subject , it's not just the cooling on diesel turbos that differ but the actual materials they are made from , ie they don't need to withstand such high gas temps.this is the reason why you don't see many variable vane petrol turbos much as the mechanism can't cope . that said i found a turbo from a 2.4l diesel was of similar exhaust housing sizing to a 2l petrol , i also selected a turbo as used on the 1.4 tdci fiesta,peugeot,citroen engine to use on my 1.4 cvh , BUT the cvt box means the engine revs and hence generates gas flow similar to its diesel cousin! darren On May 31, 4:47 pm, "Jim Hearne" wrote: > I'm not quite sure on your second question, Hamish would certainly know but > he's probably not on here at the moment. > You may have problems with overspeeding a diesel turbo on a petrol engine > unless it was from a larger capacity engine. > I know the theory behind picking turbos is very technical, and i don't get > on with maths !, i tend to just stick to using something from a similar spec > engine. > > I do know that diesel turbos need less cooling than petrol ones as the > exhaust temperature on Diesels is a lot lower. > As a result, most (maybe all) diesel turbos are just cooled by the oil feed > whereas most petrol turbos are water cooled. > If you use a diesel turbo on a petrol engine it may overheat. > > Jim > > -- > From: "nigelp" > Sent: Tuesday, May 31, 2011 4:36 PM > To: "Quantum Owners Group" > Subject: [Quantum Owners] Turbos > > > > > > > > > This is a general question not directly Q related.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Converting a 2+2 into rear wheel drive
having made some pretty serious cuts into the body of my 2+2 in the process of fitting the 4x4 i can only agree with eddie on caution.during the cutting processi had the whole body mounted on a surface plate to keep it true! I went with a seperate backbone chassis for my conversion with the body attaching only where there was original mounting points(eg the rear trailing arm brackets at the end of the sill tubes) or direct into the steel side tubes. Width is the biggest problem ,the 2+2 is REALLY narrow compared to pretty much anything more modern. if i ever manage to get my rwd coupe project under way then i plan to widen the shell(straight down the middle)! and use bmw 3 series running gear .they too use nice compact subframes,as well as the choice of some fab engines(M3 powered coupe anyone?).This time i would go fully composite ,only adding steel to reinforce just as the existing cars are.

[Quantum Owners] Re: Insurance time
if anyone is looking to insure a provisional driver alongside a full license , give the coop a try. they don't load up the policy and its excess for provisional drivers.when i asked why they said it was due to the fact that the main driver was always going to be with the prov at all times anyway! when the driver passes their test for two years their personal excess increases by 150 as a new driver , then reverts to the normal policy excess. my wife has a provisional license for nigh on 20 years(she has never bothered to take a test in case you wondered) and having stopped lessons 10 years ago ,likes to drive me around ,bonus! a lot of insurance companies see this as she must be a horrific driver to have not passed a test but that really isn't the case .

[Quantum Owners] Heated coupe or 2+2 windscreens update!
Yes i know we have been here before but things have changed somewhat! first up i have spoken to the supplier he will do the screens for £130+vat each and £40+vat fully insured delivery , so that's just shy of £200 all in delivered to YOUR door. Now the situation still remains that we would need ten to get a batch of fully tinted ones made up as due to the current climate etc etc he cannot afford to keep too many in excess stock :-( BUT. He has approx 7 CLEAR screens due in stock ready for delivery from end of Feb. Now the best bit we don't have to buy all of them :-) He has said you could always get an suitable(read legal) all over tint applied or just a top tint applied of some kind. So if anyone is seriously interested please add your names to the list below and i WILL forward them to the supplier to reserve you/me a screen from the batch.Please show if you will take a clear one or only are interested in a full tint. If you could also mail me off list a direct contact email address and a contact phone number so arrangements can be made. Payment will be made direct to the supplier(details to be arranged). 1.Darren Siepka 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. Yes i know clear isn't to everyones taste but it's an option that stands the best chance of getting a screen anytime soon.But if we were to get 10 people together over the next couple of weeks then all the better. Lets get this sorted once and for all :-) Darren --~--~-~--~~~---~--~~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.

[Quantum Owners] possible coupe top mounts!
a long shot i know but does anyone have or have access to a MK1 VW golf,jetta,scirocco or caddy? i have been trying to source a replacement for the two bolt mk1 fiesta style top front suspension mounts and these look damn near similar in the picture. what i need is to know the bolt spacing centres and a rough idea of the size of the rubber bit visible through the metal plate.if they seem close enough i will buy a pair and see but don't really want to waste money on something totally unsuitable if at all possible. If they do turn out to be suitable then we have a reasonably cheap substitute for the discontinued fiesta ones.

[Quantum Owners] New large disc conversion
I have worked out a large disc conversion for 2+2 and saloon using recent model parts.you need 15" or larger wheels to fit the 280mm discs!! The conversion is very simple, needing only two modifications!. Parts needed. Discs Adc1280/dsk3118 or ndb1906. These are ford ecosport 1.5d 2013 on. Or you can use nbd207, these are ford sierra/escort cosworth 4x4, note must be 4x4 as they only fitted these to that model. Calipers I used 2007 volvo s40 300mm. But these calipers are also fitted to volvo v70, s80, s60 and c70, also ford focus mk3(11-), some mk2(05-11) and cmax. BUT they must be from the 300mm disc models!!! Do NOT get 278mm calipers as they won't work. The caliper mounting has 300 cast into it for identification. How to fit. All that is needed is to drill out the holes in the hub to 12.2mm to clear the caliper bolts which are 12mm(the old fiesta are 10mm) Thats it!hose fits as normal, discs go straight on and with the hole opened so do the calipers. Note, if you use the cosworth disc you need a 5-6mm spacer between the caliper and hub lug to correct the disc offset. As usual, use of this information comes with no warranties or liability.

[Quantum Owners] Bonnet hinge upgrade
Just wanted to share a modification i made to the bonnet hinges on the 2+2. Mine were damaged and coming away from the main moulding, the holes had enlarged too. I made a grp block using two layers of 450gsm then 6 layers of 2mm core mat, then two further layers of 450gsm, i a shape i had made a card template of. I did this on a bit of lightly waxed melamine with a plasticine ring around it to keep the resin contained. Once set i machined for a 10mm ball race(26mm od x 8mm wide).a stainless steel double seal version was used. This block was the glassed in place back onto the bonnet. Now with the bolts tight it pivots smoothly on the bearing! No more grinding! -- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Quantum Owners Group" group.
