Got the car back today with its new (2nd hand) stub axle and wheel bearing, thanks Clint http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif.

The emissions are also now down to 1.5 from 12 http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/blush.gif

So to celebrate I thought I fit me new steering wheel, thanks again Clint http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Nice one m8 http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/grin.gif

That wheel looks the bollox, which one is it? and which boss did you use?

Seems to be going back together nicely now http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/cool.gif http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/smirk.gif

[FF_Mark]

You'd have to ask clint which one it is, it came with a ford boss already as part of it.

It does feel and look a lot nice that the std crap one, you can also see the lower part of the dash now (speaker control etc..) which could be handy for mounting gauges or warning lights http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[FF_Mark]

Got my ACT gauge this morning in the post. http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif

Should be fun trying to fit it tonight !!

[DanRSturbo]

ACT guage was a peice of cake to fit apparantly. I didn't fit mine http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif. Was that steering wheel really a mission to fit tho ?

[FF_Mark]

Had to make up some new wires with spade connectors on the ends for the horn, then when I put it together they shorted out on the wheel and the horn was on all the time http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/mad.gif so I had to change them to some right angle connects to clear. Then the slack was stopping the horn from going on.

I guess its not too bad, just more work than I thought.

ive got one for sale mate cheap!!!!!

I allready got the boost 1 and need the matching 1's.
any chance you could let me know.

CheeRS Mike

[FF_Mark]

Got it from SCC , speak to Rob and tell him that Mark told you to call.

01727 867747 , he's a top bloke and stuff turns up next day, think they do oil temp, water temp and some others too.

[blackRS]

Looking good mate

keep up the good work

How hard was it to remove the fuel tank ?

[FF_Mark]

I'm not doing the fuel tank, the guy who is welding it needs to take the old one out, so he's putting the new one back in.

[SPHINX]

I see you've got an s1 front seat in yer shed, do you wana flog it? if you do pm me.
ta

[FF_Mark]

Its a 2.8i interior, near enough a full set in there somewhere http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/laugh.gif

[Clint]

Looking good m8 http://www.turbosport.co.uk/images/smilies/smile.gif comming on nicely !

[michelin_man]

how much is a good price for the act guage, i have found one for £52, is this good or expensive, the company is called apex performance

[FF_Mark]

Can't remember, think it was less than £40 from Mike Rainbird.

[michelin_man]

oh right i will have a look for one, are they a worth while investment? i need to get it running first but there is so much i could buy but need to know what to get first

[One_Nine_RS]

How much £52 quid, do you get a free blow job with that?
That is complete overkill for what you are getting, you can get exactly the same thing at Halfords for under a score, i mean what should be expensive about a temp reader with a long wire and temp sensor on the end of it
