Yeah the old man took it there a while ago. That was before I decided to swap engines.

Another Adelaide is so small story. I did work experience there back in 2005 for school.

You going to be at the small ford show? Gonna try get both mine out

i wish i could have bought a kit but money doesn't come easy with one income and two young kids so i had to wait for them to go to bed before i could do anything so most of it was done in my lunch break.
as for the manifold i did cut the plastic after the injectors then heated the plastic and pushed a metal tube inside to make them round then let it cool then pulled the tube out and then put silicone 45 degree bends to the planum chamber

Jp I like your style mate. good to do it yourself on the cheap. Can you elaborate with what you did for engine control and fueling. I get the feeling you run the stock ECU, what did you do for road speed indication?

I haven't been on here for a bit not much happening with the car at the moment I drive it for three months every day till the rego ran out a few little teathing problems with coolant leeks and stuff. The tyres were getting bald so put the stock wheels back on with the 155's that was some fun for a couple of weeks I forgot to take any photos of it with them on I do have a video but not sure how to put in on here. Had a busy run of birthdays for a couple of months so now that's over it's time to drag it out of the shed for some body work some rust is starting bubble in sections and maybe a hole respray if a can be bothered.

And the ecu is just standard with out any egr ,exhaust pressure sensor or carbon canister solinoid hooked up the standard mondeo fuel pump mounted in the cortina tank nothing special seems to ok I can still get pretty low on fuel and have no problems one of the best parts I was using about 50 dollars of premium unleaded for about 400kms which is around 9litres for 100kms

I'll post up more pics soon
