I'm afraid to offer clyde for sale. The lack of time and a new project means I can't fix the timing belt issue and he has to go to make room for my new car. You can fin full details if you search projet clyde however a quick shake down as follows. -300mm front brakes (mondeo/st170 setup)...

It's not so much the cost thats the problem more the time it takes for them to actually turn up.. wanted to get it donE and dusted this weekend however that's looking unlikely... I work for engineering firm and was going to punch them out of some hefty steel to make sure that it'll all stand up...

I've downloaded the how to and gping over it step by step... I don't want to be screwing this up! I do mean that yes... I live in worthing West Sussex. .. just want to get the measurements to make my own... can knock them up at work then and won't cost me anything

Hey guys... I'm about to change the cambelt on Clyde as the tensioner is fudged... I need the special tools and rather than waiting a week for them to appear from someone on ebay (it's getting done this weekend come hell or high water!) I was wondering if I could borrow a cam locking tool and...

Yeh could be but happened at a different one on way home.

I'll check pressures... wouldn't be a problem at like 80 on full attack but I was cruising round a roundabout

Ok... so just found out that clyde suffers from lift off oversteer! Wet day today so that's obviously exacerbated the situation but was going round a roundabout at about 25-30mph started to understeer lifted off a small amount to compensate and the back stepped out... I controlled it fine and...

Hey orchid... sorry to hear about mot troubles. Thankfully that list doesn't actually involve that much work! Change the tail pipe for a standard unit should quiet it down, 2nd hand pair of headlamps shouldn't be hard to come across and I'd put money on your rear brakes done same as mine...

Nah can't see any trace of oil down the inside there, just see a small amount at the bottom that looks like it's been there a while... maybe it was and someone didn't clean it up or someone took the engine cover off and missed when topping up the oil. But rocker looks ok in there

Decided whist doing some routine checks (oil water etc) I decided to break out my brand new tool kit and pop the plugs out they're looking a tad worn out and the gap is huge! Think I'm off to buy some new ones!

Don't know if you've checked or listened out for it. But check the exhaust manifold gasket. Known for making the tick sound and extra air in the exhaust will screw up the lambda. With regards to the fuel system you were talking about does this all happen when you're fuel level falls below a...

Must admit mine no problem either When got in car And a positively nipple stiffening later on However, having cut open a few full ac systems I know that there is usually a uv dye added to the system. When you go get the system filled make sure that they add the dye. So if it doesn't...

It looks like the wiring has been wet tbh. . I think I'll change that and if that works great if not then I'll change the pack too

Ok... that's fantastic, however (and ill check the other photo) I'm having an issue with the wiring loom, to understand what I mean look where the black/red wire ends. Long story short now I know that'll be the reason why my fans only work on max. Now all I gotta do is find the bit of loom to...

Ok so interior fan works on all or nothing. .. now I know that the resistor pack is a common issue however whilst rooting about the passengers footwell and found this! If this is the resistor pack then there issue with wires and I know what to do

Sorry guy been off all weekend... Anyways picking up where I left off. I'm not really worried about the cars behavior on the track, I'm more fast road at the moment. I've already ggot the 300mm setup on my car, oil burner they do fit under props (have look on my project thread) but the...

Disc brakes are a million times easier to replace than drums, more efficient and of course aesthetically pleasing

Hey guys.. Just got in contact with my buddy who just bought himself a breakers yard in Southampton... He got a mk1 focus with rear discs I'm going to look at over the weekend.... I got my shopping list however in reading the how to it says that the abs needs to be modifying, not mention of...

Ok so now he back on the road, I been cleaning a bit. Nothing special as I'm afraid paint is shocking and so much trim needs work it would be wasted. Still some snaps! Also thinking of posting a video but having watched it back I'm afraid it looks like I'm being an idiot thanks to the amazing...
