it will do the job though.
i use borg and beck cluches in my rs and always have, well i say always ive only changed it twice and one of them times was only cos i had the box out and was flush at the time

mind you i do have a brand new EBC one in the shed i got off someone on here years ago for £40

[GavStyli]

sorry to hear about the keying tugger why didint u tell me last night!?
your welcome to store the rs on my drive way under a car cover but ideally you should find a lock up, about £50 a month nowadays...

[niracka]

f**k sake man!!!!! Out of alot of poeple on this forum you have to be one of the most unlucky. Gotta give you alot of credit for sticking with this car mate Alot of us would have given up long ago.

I really dont understand how instead of appriciating a nice example of what is now becoming a classic car people just get jeleouse of the owner and think it will be fun to deface it and ruin alot of hard work. A mate of mine has just had his nova totally striped and rebuilt with a full respray and some c**t has keyed up the bonnet and down both sides. He's absolutely gutted and just because of some sily little pikey scumbags

We should all go pikey bashing and clense our good nation of these dicks

This sight looks very familar

passenger side wheel fell off

[m3matt]

how that happen?? studs shear off?

[jayrs]

what we talk about on phone day it happend....

didnt fall off fella, it could of been worse mate, still dont understand why it happened
that hub nut should not of come undone

[FlashXR2i]

passenger side wheel fell off

This is bad mate...

This scene could end much worse than it is.

[knuckles]

Hub nut came loose. Shaft came off from the outer cv joint.

The hubs splines were smashed to pieces and the wheel bearing was in numerous pieces.

Just goes to show that lowering your car and fitting 18 inch alloys to a fiesta takes its toll on wheel bearings

[onslack]

s**t news about the keying clark and the hub coming loose

chin up fella, you have resurrected and created a cracking fiesta

[FlashXR2i]

Yeah mate, fiesta on 18's is an absolute overkill. Pointless.

[jonboisescort]

very lucky it could of been alot worse

[j7aoc]

If your looking for a hub mine's only a few years old cost £127 from ford they did there bearing at the same time it still has the drive shaft in it will gaters i was going to keep it just in case i ever got a mk3 again as it cost me so much

[Turboboy67]

Bloody hell Clark you don't get alot of luck with this motor do you

Stick at it though fella

[rsonblackwheels]

shame about the keying dude

lucky escape with the wheel, i had a simerler thing happen with a rear wheel on my RST, the rear wheel bearing went big time!! with no warning

keep going thow dude its a very clean, nicly tunned exsample.

keep up the good work

[GavStyli]

blimey this could have been alot more serious

keep telling you to stop taking corners over 100mph

[knuckles]

not been updated lately as not much as happened.

but today i managed to get a ramp to use to have a butchers underneath at the Rs. I spent only half hour cleaning all the old oil and grease off the underneath.

Got a few areas that need some attention soon. Want to do some of the work my self but not sure how bad the rust is. Anyway here are some pics.....











Few scabs here nothing serious....



bit of surface rust here at the back ...



sills





Nothing is falling apart yet but bit worried that it will if i get a grinder on it ....



Broken arb clamps



Tank cleaned up alright. surprised this hasnt rusted



Drive shaft still not fully in gearbox. May have to refit the ball and cage type shaft as its slightly leaking transmission fluid

Thats it for now. Any advice on doing the rust will be much apreciated, Im glad there are no holes of bits falling off. My boss said its the best H reg he has seen underneath wise.

knuckles

[jayrs]

nothing much there mate, all that surface rust will clean up fine.

thm bits at the back will more than likly need plating, common problem on mk3's, even the mk2's suffered from it and i wouldnt mind betting the mk4/5's too, its a bloody water trap.

tank must of had a coating on it like we spoke about on the phone, but if its bare metal now, get some paint on it

[FRSJON]

i recon it looks bloody good mate...very lucky.....most are alot worse...

[niracka]

Yea man that looks real clean actually!!

Just attack it with a wire brush on a drill n see what happens lol. It doesn't look as if you will have many problems that will require majour attention

ollie

[Ram]

havnt seen your thread foe ages mate, and bloody hell ive missed a lot! sorry to see things are going abit s**t with it, but as weve both said to eachother before, you gotta stick with it and it'll always put a big smile on your face when it all goes right

as for your undeside, after seeing those pics id say the value of your cars just rocketed up, your a very lucky chap for having an underside like that!

mines all rust free at the moment from what i can see, but when i take it off the road this winter il be removing all waxoil and giving it a good tidy up

keep it up mate it'll get there soon
