nuts and bolts the best option if you wanna do it mate

[Max M4X WW]

Do you want to do it with me, if I get the bits?

[dangerousdave]

should be alright nut and bolted mate just get some high tensile bolts not stainless and some lock nuts, jd!

[Smo]

Couple of G-clamps. Can make it quick-release then

[jonyb4]

you lose power when the engine flexes

Not power, just acceleration response

i was almost there

Do you want to do it with me,

thats what she said

[heeman10]

just get some high tensile bolts not stainless and some lock nuts, jd!

I always found that having JD to hand made the jobs more fun and take WAY less time

No updates, But I do have some Gaz coilovers on the way.

So plan to fit them next weekend, but first I need some new driveshafts - any ideas on type or where to buy? I've been advised to get 1.4/1.6/1.8 petrol Mk3.5 items.

Then I can fit the ARB, crossmember, IH lower arms, then maybe turbo, exhaust

[jonyb4]

nice

how low you planning on having her sit?

[Max M4X WW]

For as long as it takes really!

[dontpannic]

lol.

How LOW Max? How low? Speak! Speak to me man!

[knuckles]

[AW3K]

[~nomad~]

Max - maybe i will do the front mount on mine, then i will be happy to do yours.

[jonyb4]

cheers andy, thats helping me alot

[Max M4X WW]

Well I have one on the way.

That pic above of the zetec mount is totally different to the cvh one on mine!

Im wonderinf if using one of those will move the engine away from the 'mount tray' a bit.

the front or the back one?

front one is a si one cut down with a cvh altornator mound on it

the back one is the si 16v one b ut it has another bit on trhe block

mine runs close but i didnt want to drill any holes in a mint shell.... even if its only a 2i!

[jonboisescort]

im using a modified mk3 fiesta cvh engine mount in my escort and its fine tbh

[dangerousdave]

mines modified, only using the top half would benifit if i changed the gearbox mount! lol it came with the car as it was f**cked when i bought it 3 yrs ago lol

[jonyb4]

what you mean only a 2i??! i think they have just the same charisma and soul a rst does

[dangerousdave]

yeah i mean its not really a valuble shell! just a 3 door mk3 really!

[jonyb4]

NEVER!

hey if i value my shell, you can value yours, mine is encore, dead bottom spec

[jonyb4]

any updates maximus?

[Max M4X WW]

Unfortunately not, had loads of work on, living arrangments changing etc etc.

Should be some progress soon

[AW3K]

hi max , do you want these overiders?

[jonyb4]

eagerly awaiting them mate

[random_dav]

Looks good fella, why arent you doing a mondeo subframe conversion to get the egine in, surely thats the best way

[jonyb4]

lol first ive heard of that

[hb69]

lol first ive heard of that

Saw it done once, totally unnecessary and makes it look so strange

[RS rob]

lol first ive heard of that

totally unnecessary

agreed hb69

[jonyb4]

me too, why use mondeo when the firsta already comes with a zetec engine, so all the gear is avaliable

[Max M4X WW]

I'm after some driveshafts for this.

The 1.3 ones got thrown and as far as I know I need 1.6/1.8 petrol ones.

I have no idea how many different types there are but I need something!

Any suggetions for new ones? Or S/H will do for now - I just need to know I have the correct ones before trying to fit.

Thanks
