And here is how to adjust your headlights properly... viewtopic.php?f=51&t=29132&p=356629#p356629

I want to keep the doors as they are now, but with added possibility of height adjustment. My driver's side door is little low, The hinges are welded now so no adjustment is possible in that way.
Ta in advance,

I didn't think the actual block had anything to do with aircon setup but I could be wrong? There were definitely different blocks throughout production and different ECUs but it was my understanding (never tested) that you could do a like for like swap of the actual engine The casts are all the sam...

The engine is knackered,no compression on cylinder 2. where is the leak? On piston or valve side? Try to pressurise the second cylinder and watch where is the compression going. If it is the sump, it is the piston/rings that are leaking. If it is escaping to inlet, it is inlet valves, if it is goin...

Hi Rost, if you could give me some information i.e. detailed pictures regarding the hinges of the door? I am on verge of converting them to something adjustable to set driver's door a bit up.. Just to be clear: I am not thinking about lambo doors, just installing some height adjustability into the e...

Any info, or expirience is welcome!

You misunderstood: I said (actually, Mahle did) that you can use pretty much any pistong ring, but NOT a chromed one. So that is the one you should avoid.

Hope that helps

Ressurecting an old thread: has anyone tried actually replacing the hinges on bodywork? They are welded alright, but how about cutting them off and then drilling and tapping some holes for the bolts? That would make the door adjustable in long run...? The area that the hinges are welded to has to al...

Just any compatible with 9005 (HB3 bulb) and that is it

I guess you were somewhere along coastline, most probably on Pag or some other islands? I am on continent, near capital of Zagreb

Check my thread. There you will find all the answers that you need regarding the engine rebuild

Some serious effort going in the car there!
Clap-clap-clap

Piece of cake. Just get the steering wheel audio controls and you need alpine modul for matching ford controls (i.e. Mk1 focus as that was the donor vehicle). The modul comes with all the wiring and it is very straighforward

Loved reading through all this. Lovely subtle changes that make your car into some kind of luxury edition without anything looking odd or out of place. Very tastefully done and inspiring to me! Cheers, mate! The car is a product of a team of designers that went to study arts etc. During process the...

When replacing balljoints discovered that there was no heatshields for the balljoint boots. So bought them and installed. https://i.imgur.com/tioxUyP.jpg https://i.imgur.com/nJ1fRaK.jpg And finis code, should anyone need it... https://i.imgur.com/qK7NZ1E.jpg On first thought it probably isn't needed...

For that you will have to take down the back trim. There are How-to's on the subject. But, be practical about it: if the belt is dirty in the area that NEVER gets pulled out, it doesn't make any difference, does it? You will NEVER see it and you will NEVER use it (that part, I mean). Your problem is...

I had Recaros in my car, but due to constant sliding around swapped for Sparcos. While they are pretty similar, I would swear the Sparcos are actually higher than Recaros...

Did browse through my iPhone and found some images of the process... Hope it will help and guide you Clamping the belt https://i.imgur.com/Qn3Z06U.jpg Water and detergent solution https://i.imgur.com/WVqMY8r.jpg Soaking the belt https://i.imgur.com/BUtsMxH.jpg Water is turning dark after 20 minutes ...

No need for replacement. Wash your belts. Take a bucket of warm water, pull out the belt as far as it goes, clamp it at top to prevent being wound in and soak it in the bucket. Drop some good garment detergent in and stir and leave it for at least 30 mins. After that, wash the belts by hand. I used ...

Nice find there, Barry! And a bargain, too!

While doing the ball joints have seen that one of bushes has well passed it's prime... https://i.imgur.com/mKjj7AT.jpg So replaced them both as had them on my personal stock. I used original Motorcraft ones. https://i.imgur.com/vB6E4Iy.jpg Did take the suspension arms with me to a friend's who has a...

Have you remapped the engine? I am asking because now it may be running lean with all the air flooding inside? If it is lean, you might burn the pistons and exhaust valves

You seem to forget that disabling any of cylinders whith it self brings keeping the valves open to reduce the compression work. It is not a matter of simply shutting down an injector as you would still have all the losses in the engine and have to make the remaining cylinders work harder

After some time finally did something for JASAPP. The ball joints were very lose and the steering wheel had some vibrations over 120 km/h. So today replace one after work as I ran out of daylight and time for the both of them. The other will be done tomorrow.. https://i.imgur.com/VciPzvz.jpg It was ...

Another hoarder, eh?
