you are never too old. We dont stop playing because we get old, we get old because we stop playing. Good excuse to me. Could be fun though, considering you can get a dry kit for about £150 on ebay, minus the gas. more bhp then a new cam, for less then the price of one. Ill tell you how it goes i

I remember my friend had it fitted on his lotus carlton. There was a switch that was activated at wide open throttle (there didn’t seem any need for progressive). You could flick the switch at idle and the revs jumped a bit - flat out and the car went sideways :-) No no no, I must forget about

What i know of the possible problems were that it cools the engine, you need to 'retard' the timing, cooler spark plugs. There can also be a fueling issue. Luckily mines a wet kit so it has the nitrous and fuel solunoid, which means that it should hopefully work independently of the current fuel p

How and why were old kits destructive? I'm aware that if you stick 500+ bhp on top of whatever you've got in a CVH then you are asking for trouble, however what's the difference to turbo charging it? So long as you avoid pre detonation.. Shirley? Matthew > -Original Message- > From:

I know one one guy who has used mini tanks turned on their edge (mounted like a diamond) and modified the sender and fuel pick up to lift from the lower point of the diamond. According to this guy, this has the same effect as a swirl pot as the fuel has no real space in which to surge. One mou

As has been said, your tank should be an injection one, only ever sold in Europe for the Mk2 Fiesta. If it's an original Ford one and it's only a small rust hole then i'd consider trying to repair it, you can buy rubber material for this purpose. If you get a pattern injection one then look car

Old Quantum did at least one 2+2 with power steering so it's certainly possible. The hyraulic pump isn't a problem nowadays as many small cars use an electric one which can be mounted anywhere in the engine bay (or probably even in the boot if need be !). Darren has fitted the electric setup f
