im not even 20 yet johny and with 3 points and can still easily afford to insure my RS engine so i dunno what your doing? lol,
and as per the 1.3 conversion i would highly recommend it after having my one with a few little mods, if you want a bit more poke out of it i used the 1.3 block out of a later fiesta as they have dome shaped pistons and then the head off my old 1.3 which increased the CPR to about 13. somin i think from memory along with a port and polished head my uncle done for me and still ran the old single injector inlet and its went very well for a 1.3 i must say, as per the cam you can get a cam for the 1.3 for around £80 IIRC from rally design as i was looking into it before i got the RS lump, if you can do these little things yourself it would be worth it aslong as you keep the cost to a minimum also another idea might be to use the MPI set up out of the later endura all it needs if the ECU from memory and you would probs gain a few ponies through the better inlet design and being able to use a cold air feed or a decent air box as compared to the bin lid most 1.3's come with, and you would gain more accurate fueling so possibly better mpg aswell

and if any1 was concerned with the high CPR i had on my old 1.3 it had a VERY hard life for the year i had it in the car before the RS and the Head gasket never went and was all fine just regular sevicing and keeping an eye on the tappets (what hcs owner doesnt?) and it ran beautifully

if youv got the spare dosh i would recommend the conversion as it is a very easy conversion to do and you would defo notice the difference, i still have my 1.3 ecu and inlet lying around somewhere i think lol, and you can get the engine for pennies nowadays i offered mine out for free when i had it out but no1 wanted it so it went to the scrapyard

[jonyb4]

alright for some

if you guys want some info on 1.3 tuning, talk to MB7102 (or similar) he had the 2.0 LX on here thats a sutble little sleeper

he tuned his 1.3 in his last mk3 to 84bhp or so

[xr2irhys]

all this 1.3 tuning talk dont tempt me please lol must admit though they do go alright for a 1.3 , deffinalty alot more pulling power if i adjust the tappets and sort out the blowing exhaust i bet ill find more power too

ive got the mk4 1.3

[jonyb4]

lol, well the engine MB used was a 1.3 endura from the mk4/5/ka as he prefered its multipoint injection set up, and like said its a better inlet all together

four branch fast road cam and some port polishing and it went alright, he used to track it, bet it was similar in power to a mk1 xr2

same engine in essence

[xr2irhys]

sweet , its my daily drive though so with engine mods dunno how long it would last and how reliable it would be lol

anyways i want to stick a Turbo lump in the mk3 when it comes to it at a later date or might keep that original and turbo the mk4

[EUFez]

Feck it. After I cam it, carb it I'll wack a turbo on it and a cheeky intercooler.

[jonyb4]

lol

i really want to see a turbo'd 1.1/1.3

[MK2 Jamie]

Its been done on a 1.3 HSC running 5 psi. Didn't last long.

[jonyb4]

god, 5psi is bearly worth it

Genuine RS fog lights for my RS Accessory front bumper:



Just need the brackets, or get some made up!

Kit is nearly complete now. Just need the side skirts and rear bumper. I dunno wether they had a late spec spoiler with this kit aswell? But if not then I'll just bash on a RST spoiler.

Oh and I have no finally made my mind up for wheel choice. There cheap, there wide, my oh my I've been so blind. My original plans... MK3 BANDED STEEL WHEELS!!!

DEADLINE - BEFORE FORDFAIR.

James

[Michael!]

ive never even seen this full accessory kit?!
i hadnt seen any of it until your front bumper anyway...

i suggested banded steels ages ago! they look brilliant on these mk3's

[Dave G fsi]

Look good mate, saw some of these for sale at the pod but refrained as I'm broke

Banded steels should look awesome! What colour you going for?

[EUFez]

Ever since I've owned a Mk3 I've always wanted the late spec RS Accessory kit for my car... It's a rare kit and looks fooking awesome when fitted.

Banded steelies was my original idea from the start, as I bought brand new MK3 Steel wheels in silver from this bloke from eBay who sales Genuine Ford parts. I have two new steelies from him, just need another two mint ones then send them off to get them banded. Spray them silver, get decent tyres with abit of stretch, then roll into FordFair low and wide!

Can't wait... Might have 8J on the rear and 7J on the front. 8J will be fine I reckon. The reason why 8J was so wide with the Allycats is because they were RWD offset. Crazzzzyyy!

[jonyb4]

theyre just regular Si fogs/spotlights

[EUFez]

Look good mate, saw some of these for sale at the pod but refrained as I'm broke

Cheers

Most probably Silver... But I was thinking some sort of grey, unsure. But at the moment, most probably silver!

[EUFez]

Find me some brackets then they'll be RS Accessory fogs!

They were cheap for brand new fogs. I'll probably just do that, yeah.

[jonyb4]

polaris ghey?

[EUFez]

polaris ghey?

I can't pronounce it or spell it! It's a grey colour... Anathcrit? Something like that? Completely forgot!

[jonyb4]

anthracite lol

its actually a type of coal, a useful type of coal as it burns colourless good for household use (ha i used to work at a mining musuem )

yea anthracite, easy to say lol

[Minstral]

wonder who found them?

[MK2 Jamie]

exactly my point with the 1.1, why change a winning horse? my 1.1 is brilliant its quiet doesnt burn oil and it goes like a clappers for a 1.1 lol.

im gonna keep my 1.1 till i get a new car something with more modding potential and that doesnt rust, i want a ph1 clio sport next year, my mate had a track one was a absolute brute!.

i had 4 dents alltogether mate, big one on the quarter panel about the size of a melon, and then 3 medium ones on the bootlid all joined.

Mines the same. First fiesta I've had that doesn't burn oil, It goes well too! I was worried that going from an RS1800 to this would be a bit of a shock but its not really bothered me. Everytime I think about doing an engine conversion I think na I'll stick with my 41MPG!

[3lward]

exactly, i put in £30 knowing it would see me 10days maybe 14 at a stretch! next year comes the fuel guzzling clio!

[EUFez]

Lets face it guys. Our engines are awesome! It's all about the mint 1.1's!

[EUFez]

wonder who found them?

Keep them links coming pal.

Need the skirts and rear bumper now. Goodluck!

[Ratspeed]

Lets face it guys. Our engines are awesome! It's all about the mint 1.1's!

And 950's

[EUFez]

Definatly!

You gotta give me your 1.3 Mk1 though. Pleaseeeeeee!

i couldnt be more different

ive gone from my "rs1800" to this TD escort, and it feels very slow, it aint bad, when the turbo kicks in its actually got some poke, but im always reminded of what i had, ive always liked my speed, and when its gone i mourn it


41mpg? the carb'd ones that bad? my old 1.3 mk4 had around 50mpg

[MK2 Jamie]

42mpg is book for my engine so it doing 41mpg isn't bad. You gotta remember injection is more efficient then a carb.

[jonyb4]

yea it is

[3lward]

Seems though if your drive them a granny they hate it and return pants MPG however if you just give it a bit of a beasting it to get up to speed then just slip into a higher gear it loves it.

[EUFez]

Fanny will not be attending FITP this year, although I will be attending in my mates Mk1 as a passenger. Might not even go Fordfair in my car either. Looks shocking at the moment... Lol!
