Hello peeps,
So.. I wanted to show off my race car to everybody here and keep a sort of history of everthing for myself to.
And because I live in belgium not alot of peeps gonne see this car or me.
I have a sort of car history on my site
www.autosport.arieke.be but that is in dutch so you won't have a clue of what I write.
So a couple of years back (autom 2007) I bought a 2-door 1979 Ford Taunus 1.6 with a crappy 70hp engine.
After alot of done work in my car.
like painting wheels, painting the whole car
and stickering
We had alot of problems to make it fit nice on my car. It didn't work so we took them off and spray-painted it!!!
Fitting a 32/36 carb
Fitting a new cam (kent cam Fast road)
The last new thing I got are ... and hope to get more advance with my Fast Road Cam
twin dellorto's!!!
But there is alot of other stuff done like putting a tacho in my car (didn't have it standard), welding my diff, made a semi custum exhaust (spaghetti wasn’t on it when I bought it), making a close ratio steering (like escorts 2:1 steering)
Putting the battery, water for windows, and a aluminium fuel tank in the boot of the car.
The dent in my car is from the first race I did that year
and no it isn’t a 1.3 that year I had only a standard engine and the last race I had a Fast Road cam in it (didn't drive with dellorto's yet). and it was slow
So I raced with this car 3 times in 2008.
But in 2009 I will race 7 time and maybe same track days on circuit of Zolder.
If peeps are intressed you are all welcome to come and watch me on the following days (this is all in Belgium haha...):
Building a 2.1 Pinto engine
The car is at the moment slow(errrrrrr). So it needs more power. And I could only use the engines that were originally made for the car. So I’m stuck with a pinto or a 2.3 essex engine.
A essex would be better? Maybe? But I got a 205 pinto block from 89 lying in my woodshed. So yes, it’s going to be a pinto.
So it’s now 2009 and I started building (ordering the pieces). We will start building the engine on the 8 of february 2009. One of my friends will help building the engine as a school project so ...
So I ordered these parts:
KENT CAMS ADJUSTABLE ALLOY CAM PULLEY
KENT CAMS SUPERSPORTS R CAMSHAFT KIT (HT1)
INLET VALVE 1.750" (44.5mm)
EXHAUST VALVE 1.500" (38.1mm)
ACCRALITE FORGED PISTON 94mm
FARNDON EN24V STEEL H SECTION CON ROD, 5.060": COSWORTH YB + ARP bolts
HIGH PRESSURE/HIGH CAPACITY OIL PUMP
FLYWHEEL BOLT CAP HEAD M10x1x30: COSWORTH YB
WEBERS 45 (x2)
INLET MANIFOLD SOHC PINTO 2xDCOE 1.15"
PIPERCROSS KK600 CARBURETTOR BASE PLATE: 2xDCO/SP
PIPERCROSS KK600 DUAL AIR FILTER ELEMENT: 40mm HIGH
AP RACING CLUTCH KIT: SOHC PINTO 215mm
REV LIMITER
I orderd more stuff, like bearings and seals and so but this stuff is nicer.
I will update this when we start building the engine and afterwards, fitting and racing the engine (with the car). Or just when I change some stuff or ...
Hope you'll like it!!!
I want to let you know I have dyslexia so if my sentence structure sucks then you guys and gals know why that is. (because some times peeps think i can't write. And I hate peeps that laugh about my writing, its hard enough)
I will try to let somebody rewrite my stuff here
