Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

hmmm, we cant have him racing door to door with mr white, looks like we might have to finish mapping daves engine

Can't wait to get both cars out on track together. I know Andy will be gunning for class championship next year and hopefully mine will get lighter and quicker over the winter too

Better stock up on door handles now I guess

Will be a lot easier without the 16v mini (bespoke 16v heads are outlawed next year)!

And door mirrors

(bespoke 16v heads are outlawed next year)!

they are not outlawed, but will be penalised so they have to run in a higher class

Was having a clear out of stuff and found some footage on an old video camera from the early 2000s.

Tut Tut them Fords are dangerous I think that Allan wanted to inspect Andys car a bit closer.

Good video,can't believe Andy was beaten by a Hillman Imp (or 1 or that range)

[lee76]

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

I think the Imp was semi spaceframed.

Still not sure why Allan (Mini) turned in on Andy maybe he thought he was clear of him.

Right, update time. Things are going to start moving at a quick pace from now on.

Saturday was spent at Retro's workshop, with the task of getting the drysump tank mounted in the engine bay.
Gary doing what he does best

Slight notch in inner wing for tank clearance

New 35a alternator in position to check for clearance

Inner wing notch filled in

While Gary was messing about, i started getting the throttle bodies in place ready for the wiring loom to be created next weekend


The dry sump tank base being made and installed



Tank in place


Plenty of clearance
