If the original SVA test is still holds, and there’s not much to say otherwise, it looks like a wet weight of 780kg, and evenly split between axles. I do plan on getting the car onto a dyno at some point, just to know what it’s capable of, but advice appreciated and well heeded @Flying Carrot Steve, thanks. The current rubber is starting to age, particularly having been off road for a few years, so even in the current heat the back’s a little twitchy. Peak power is one thing, but it’s the getting there… the constant high torque and linear delivery with the blower is something else. Anyway, you can tell I’m pleased with it. over 400 per tonne is probably right, but maybe not too much more. Going from 25 in 3rd to… err… not 25 at 6k rpm last night with the sun setting over the South Downs last night, in convoy with a group of porkers heading home from the FOS last night was a proper treat.

My wife's MX-5 was a cracking car, the only problem that I had with it was that at a sensibly sized 6' 2" it was murder to get a comfortable driving position in. I could never get her buy in to the idea of taking the seats out and sitting on the floor to drive it. Actually that's not true - the other problem was that at one MOT the tester poked it and it fell apart into a pile of brown dust. R.I.P. Still a great car though.

Completely agree. Although with the hot weather lately, and people sleeping with their windows open, there may be a few neighbours who might disagree with that this morning! 🤣🤫

Great day at kimbolton. Nice to see some newbies in TIm blackmore and julian fryer and we also see a westie fw400. Great day out.

Love an early start 👍. Back home before all the idiots are out and about.

I had to replace that tank on my zetec. I used this one. It has 3 pipe outlets. 2 small 1 large so you will need a stopper for the extra small outlet. https://ebay.us/m/g0ViR2

Yep same here, can't really see it tbh

Perfect - thanks a lot

@Mark Stanton ta but have to take your word for it as photo I get is not hi res enough to see that

Lovely 100 mile round trip to the beach. Shame those off the road couldn’t make it. Don’t forget run to Cowfold next month.

Orbital motorsport have them

EBay - search xflow copper gaskets.

Through the front porch door panels, you can just see a half circle glazed panel above the main house door (look really close) it's a sunburst in coloured glass 👍

Thanks a lot. Do you have any idea where I can find copper gaskets? Can’t see them in the usual places

As the title Standard track front wishbones £200 There have been mounted but never used they have the odd marks and powder coat peel. Have a look over at the westfield webpage the price of these is frightening over 700 with the bushes

75 mile blast and back in time for breakfast. Nice quiet roads at 6:30.

Sold subject to colllection

And get the proper brass stud nuts.

Thanks Neptune, I’ll try to source one - BR 🫶🏼🤞

Thanks Quinten, I’ll hollow if I need it 👍

Ok, thanks very much - I’ll give that a go

It's from a MK2 fiesta and was discontinued by ford many years ago

Good to see so many cars out 👍

I have my old one, which shows the same line, but hasn't split yet. I replaced it last year or so, so may still be good if you need it to bridge over? Don't need anything for it.
