Looking good Andy

But why is Gary working on the floor when he's got two ramps?

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

Looks great, like the way the pipes run forward around the front of the rad. I was worried they were gonna be the biggest headache. Nice base too, will be very secure

Nick, he always has to work on ours in the middle of the workshop as the ramps are used for his big projects that take months rather than hours

Jenveys look

Thats a worry - guess who's car is in one of the bays

Good to meet Andy, his old man and the team on Saturday - was also reasuring to see that they all look away when Gary has an air-saw in his hand just like I did last week

lovely dry sump solution there, think I might just have to copy that if you don't mind.

I ran one behind my radiator on the Caterham which was putting out about 270bhp and had no problems with oil temperature even in 45'c ambient conditions in Dubai.

Which brand/model of tank did you use?

Its from rally design, around £100 I think

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

Certainly a cheap option, is it the 2 gallon one here by any chance

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

Not a lot to report this weekend. Due to other commitments, all i managed to do was get the crank trigger for the management fitted



Ordered all the plugs and cable for the managment so should be making the loom for it soon

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

Keep going Andy - "little and often" will see it ready again in no time

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

Thats where i would like to mount my tank in the anglia but i'm not sure if i have enough room


Are you having a 1" drive pulley Andy ? I was hoping to keep mine. Is that the webber bracket and wheel you have fitted ?



Watching this with great interest

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

Just checked, hmm could be impossible for me

Could you measure fron your front panel to the most forward part of your exhaust please so i can have a measure up at my end ?

A picture of the space i don't have

Re: andypipe's - MK1 Escort - xflow

I will have a measure over the weekend Craig. The trigger kit is an off the shelf webcon kit and to be honest, for the money, it aint worth messing about making your own. I have changed over to a vee belt now as we have to now run an alternator and i dont think the trigger wheel kit would fit a toothed belt and looking at it, it has been designed for the standard pulley

Shipped the diff off up to Fostek and after the strip down he found it was shagged. More money to find
