Aleco Posted October 28, 2022 Share Posted October 28, 2022 Hi all, I wasn't intending to sell my car but life has a habit of throwing you a curve ball! To quote Boris 'Them's the breaks'! I'll detail the spec below but wanted to be straight with the main issue. The engine has developed a knock, I am not sure exactly what the issue is but it's definitely internal and seems to be on cylinder one/two. It only happens when hot and under load. Oil pressure is good and it is like a sewing machine on start up and idling. I just don't have the time to sort it out, family life and work have taken priority. It's a simple winter project for someone with time. I bought the car in August last year and intended to keep it. (I have used a lot of the info from the previous advert so it will read similarly First registered in 2007 on an age related '07' plate. MOT until 1st August 2023 Things I have done: •Repaired Speedo display •New alternator (not reconditioned) •Cambelt and water pump replaced •Re-powder coated the windscreen uprights, front grill and hood frame. •Exhaust repacked and converted to be re-packable •New air filter. Previous owner(s) work: Recent OMEX 600 ECU and racing loom. Every sensor was also changed, throttle bodies balanced and the car underwent a full Dyno and on road remap and setup producing 148bhp at 7k and 122lbft at 5.5k. Wide track front wishbones purchased from the factory, along with new springs and Protech dampers all round. New front alloy uprights from Westfield were also added, completing the front suspension upgrade. Headlight shells have been replaced, along with swapping the lenses for clear glass rather than the patterned factory ones. These, in conjunction with brighter bulbs mean the headlights are now useable! The standard Ford thermostat cracked, so this was replaced with a Raceline water rail, and all hoses replaced with silicone. The car comes with a file full of history which tracks it from the original order through to present day. Crate 1800 Silvertop on Jenvey ITB's Omex 600 ECU Raceline Water Rail 150bhp & 122lbft MT75 gearbox Limited Slip Diff Wide track front end New alloy uprights 15" lightweight alloys with Toyo R1R's Heater Full weather gear Perspex side screens The pictures are from the previous advert, it still looks the same but as we're currently still in a hosepipe ban I haven't been able to wash it and get and recent pics. I will also include the car cover.
