car was origanally a 16 si,
once the car was stripped it was out with the grinders 2 make way 4 the gearbox and engine alingment,


then axle fittment, iwent 4 the sierra type purly coz it was cheaper and easier 2 fit and replace, so with the origanal festa axle hangers bolted thro the big axle rubber bush, we thort that its guna take sum bracing and messing about 2 fit the axle, it worked out a rite treat pushed the axle were we wanted it lowered the shell on2 it and the hangers lined up against the chassis rails so on with the cage, again i used what i could get cheap i fink it cost me about 8 quid ish 4 7 meters of 30x30x 3mm box

Re: my 2 ltr hotrod, swaffham spec.

i've always used track and road in rainham, the bloke who deals with the carburettor side of life is called steve pitcher, his the most miserable sod in the world and hates every ones car, prepare for it to get slagged off if you do go, but i continue to go coz he is absolutely fantastic with carbs, he really knows his stuff and will get it running a treat, thats why i would always recommend him, pretty cheap too, after i rebuilt my pinto, i popped along one saturday afternoon without a booking and he happily threw it on the rollers once he finished the car he was on, luckily mine was already running a treat and it didn't need anything doing to the jetting, it just need the ignition timing tweaking a little, and only charged 40quid for it! thiers also torque developments international (tdi) in lakeside retail park, they always seem busy so they must be good, i think they deal more with fuel injection and jap cars though cos last time i drove past it, they had 2 supras and an r35 skyline in thier, but they did have a vr6 powerd mk2 golf in thier too, i've been to a couple in kent aswell which i would recommend but thats getting quite some distance from you now cos your at the far other end of essex to me.
