    Duck Citrine Yellow Mondeo Owner....

    Hi People, been lookin' around and what a great site you have, the technical forums are second to none... welldone for that,

    My name is Dan & I'm based in Sittingbourne, Kent

    I have a Mk1 Citrine Yellow Mondeo, with a bit of a difference...

    I've fitted in a ST170 engine & mated a set of GSX-R Throttle bodies to it.... it's almost complete, but I'm undecided on which management to run...


    Anyways,
    I'll leave it there for now

    welcome mate do you still have to run the EGR system in that setup as that may be robbing a bit of power

    No the EGR's all gotta go, I've gotta get an exhaust manifold madeup... Funnily enough I've just been speakin' to Danny_C about that...lol

    with the Throttle bodies,there's no possible connection, as the EGR'll run from the vacuum pressures in the original inlet manifold

    It's still a WIP but I plan to have it all sorted by end of Nov/begining of DEC

    Don't suppose you could get the Reg plate for me Kieron?

    They only made 211 Citrine Yellow Mondeo's & I'm building a database of them... as Ford didn't seem to keep all the details...
    The Dvla can't specify what's what as they don't keep exact records

    How'd you find managing the lump buddy?

    Or have you used the Ford ECU ?

    Hi Dan,a pleasure to have you hear. I was just wondering if the yellow is an original Ford colour,as I have a Citrus yellow on my 4i,put on by the previous owner
    So I had a look in the necessary data to find out,but it says Exterior paint unknown

    Hey, Thanks for the welcome mate, Your 4i's a credit to you, I really wanted 1 of them but can't find 1 that's been looked after & not had the guts torn out of it...

    The colour's ford spec. They made 211 in the Citrine Yellow & 10 of them became Hendy Ford Special RSi's they were 5 Saloons & 5 Hatches all had adaptive damping & Traction Control,ABS & RSi Decal's....... The dealer offered an uprate of power from the standard 136bhp to 150bhp with the addition of Cams & ECU chip...
    (See ad below )



    I've been building a database for the 211, just to see how many are left.... so far I have.. 26 so I'm a little way off finding what's left.... trouble being that not everyone has internet access & previously scrapped cars...etc..

    The like of Modeo's is never unhealthy in my book... especially if it's a mk1

    Amazing to think the mk 1 is now getting towards classic status! I remember when that pony first came out and I was well exceited when my mate's dad bought one!

    I do love saloons I must admit, well some anyway, Saphs, mondeos etc. Won't be for a while but I think I will have to think very carefully about my next car.

    Mondeo based clubs & eBay.... or any of the other forums you're registered too...

    You never know Stu, when I finish the St170 conversion, I might have 1 up for sale...

    Pink's never been a Ford Colour...unless you've got a faded Red...
