  1. brilliant cheers tony, he'll be chuff'd i'll get him to ring you during the week
  2. sorry for hi-jacking this happened too a mate of mines wheels, unfortunately these wheels are no longer available, do you think they could be repairable? Rear Wheel Front Wheel,this is worst of the 2 :cry:
  3. Its going to whine like a freshly spanked baby, and in a stripped out car thats going to be pretty loud lol. I dont mind though, the feeling the car gives when i touch the loud pedal is well worth it !
  4. Tony, you the man. Thank you
  5. It will on a standard powersteering rack which if i remember correctly is 2.4turns lock to lock. Can i ask why with polys you would reduce the amount of toe on the front ? The rear will have original type serphical bushes.
  6. Cheers. There should be alittle difference between changing times, but its more about the amount of power they can handle as the standard box isnt realy that capable of taking over 350bhp. I think 6degree rear beam will be the next of the list after the cams
  7. Sierra Sapphire cosworth. Mods Geo wise will be gaz coilovers adjustable TCAs Adjustable rear beam ( for toe and camber) adjustable top mounts ( for front) Weekend toy with trackdays. Cheers Tony. These are setting that ive been told to try out. Unfortunatly i dont know the original settings, and was unsure if the person that told me was talking out of his rear lol cheers for the replies
  8. Im going to give you 2 lots of geo settings. Can you tell me how the cars handling would change between the 2 please 1) Front: 1.5° negative camber, 2mm toe-in. Caster as close to 3’30° as you can get. Rear: 1.5° negative camber, up to 3mm toe-in 2) Front: 3° negative camber*, 2mm toe-in. Caster as close to 3’30° as you can get. Rear: 2.25° negative camber, 3mm toe-in. Thanking you.
  9. Well for those of you who are interested. Here is the new purchase to the untrained eye it will look just like a cosworth 4x4 gearbox. A few pictures later, maybe things will become clearer If its still unclear, you looking at a big tooth, straight cut gearkit Comparision between standard and mine frozen input shaft, uprated VC,stepper gears, transfer chain and syncros and solid alloy cradle mounts Next up the rear beam is coming off in replacement of either a beam and diff from a 2wd or by an adjustable beam
  10. I was beginning to have withdrawl symptoms with no horror of the week stories lol
  11. They are already polybushed, but i will asses the condition and replace as nessercary. I think the standard bushes are around £80 for genuine ones. ford dont make them anymore and obviosuly they have the cosworth tax on them lol. GGR sell them for £80 each ( bearing in mind you need 4 ) ( these http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/GGR1092-Ford-Coswort...id=p3286.c0.m14 ) Ive have been told that the standard type are spherical bearings and much better than the poly poo
  12. will mainly be polys and solids. but going to retain standard bushes on the trailing arms if i can get hold of some as they go for big money
  13. Ford state, that aslong as it topped up with the ford antifreeze in the correct mix, that it will last at least 10years but could last the life of the car. It was checked at the last service ( i normaly do them my self, but im lazy now so had it done for me.... oonly cost me £15 more than doing it myself lol ) and it registered safe to -15 so im happy with that I will try and dig out my handbook and quote it
  14. Yep, thats Daves car.... or was i should say On another good note, got my IAW software working today so i can finaly see what my car is doing. Now, whilst im in a car mood, this weekend involves droping the rear beam off to give it a clean up and replace any needed bushes then a trip to WIM when its back on the road next year
  15. I must admit to never having tested my coolant. Its still the orignal stuff in there from the factory 6 years ago lol
