    AP coilovers or TA technix ?

    AP are ideal for road use. I am on my second set. I bought a second hand set that I had on the car for 10 years until a rear damper lost all its oil. A tip from me is to cover the front springs with spring socks / covers. I went through 4 front springs that failed where the paint had flaked...

    Gearbox gasket help

    Hello Tom, That gasket should fit the Puma end cover. Image below of a cover removed from a 1.7 gearbox. Note these do not have a gasket from Ford but are sealed using a sealant. I will be using Elring Dirko Grey HT on a ST150 box I’m building. The later (cable change) end cover has a different...

    Missing bolt help - big oil leak

    Just taken one out of a 1.7 to get these sizes. Thread is M10 x 1.50 (Standard M10) thread length is 12mm approx. and then there is a blank / unthreaded section 10mm long. This gives 22mm length from the sealing face to the internal end of the plug. This plug has a M10 bonded (dowty) seal to...

    Upgrade From FRP Cams - Worth It?

    Pugmanaught - To answer your question - I am uncertain of any hp gains from the mildly ported head as I have not had it rolling road tested. I was told the standard clocks can be retained by running a crank sensor lead adapter that splits the output so you can connect one to the OEM ECU (to run...

    Upgrade From FRP Cams - Worth It?

    Ran a set of Ford FRP cams in my 1.7 for about 50,000 miles now. Engine is FRP spec (cams , inlet, exhaust manifold, ECU) and also a very mildly ported head skimmed to bump compression to approx 10.8-1. All was fitted to a 63,000 mile MHB bottom end I dropped on. Question is……. for the road...

    GAZ GHA322 Ford Puma/Ka Coilover Set Brand New

    GHA 322 is a Sierra / Escort Cosworth 4x4 coilover kit, if they are still for sale it might be worth double checking as I would be interested in them if they are for a Puma / GHA 345.

    Throttle bodies

    I'll be heading down a similar route soon too, Ive got a ported head built up now with Jenvey 42mm direct to head ITBs, ST170 fuel injectors in a fiesta 1.4 fuel rail and VCT on FRP cams (for now). I have narrowed the choice of ECU down to the ME221 or the Emerald K6+ (which I believe can now...

    Front Wishbones Any Recommended?

    Looking to change the front wishbones soon and looking at a decent quality replacement, looking at Lemforder or the Febi/Bilstein ones, considered genuine Ford but they are double the price. Anyone any feedback on the above brands?? I want to avoid the really cheap stuff. I don't want to put...

    1.7 Valve Spring Platforms / seats x8 urgently required

    Hi, on a well used (oily) cylinder head, these are barely visible in the head, my mistake was that I hot tank cleaned the head and it sat for a few weeks, when I looked down the tappet bores upon starting to reassemble it, I noticed clean aluminium on some and the spring bases on others, hot...
