Hi All, I now have some of these spacers, made up by a local machine shop in a small batch. I agreed with Eddie that I would send him those that I had left, to go on stock in case anyone else needed any. In the meantime, if anyone needs any urgently, please get in touch with me. Hoping to have Q

Can't help with the procedure, but I can confirm that it is different to the earlier silvertop as I had a 2.0 blacktop in my '02 Focus that an independent garage had trouble replacing as they followed the silvertop procedure. The result was that they got the belt a few teeth out, which caused a ver

Forgot to say - I'll have a number of leftover bits which I'll bring to Stoneleigh. These are from a Mk2 Fiesta, XR2 (not XR2i). Les has dibs on the fusebox and as much wire as remains - I've had to cut a number of connectors out and to be honest it's a mess - the original builder was not, shall w

Nominal power output is 220bhp as standard. In the donor car, that gives a 6.5 second 0-60, 160mph, and 38mpg on cruise - the 2+2 is 75% of the donor weight. I'm probably not making that power except momentarily, as I have had to do away - for now - with the intercooler... I can't see quite how to

Sailed through yesterday with 173 miles on the clock - 140 of which were the trip to the MOT station nearest the place I built it, just in case I needed spares... the only issues were resolved before it went in, with for some reason, the horn, one sidelight, and one indicator failing on the trip.
