ah yes so you have - thats me skim reading again

that sounds like an earth to me - dodgy connection possibly where the sockets have been rattled in their mounts

useful to have !

rust under rear wheel arches as there is a lip which holds all the crud

fingers crossed...

ECUTek remap and a different head unit

It is possible - quite a few kits out there some to go inside rear window some can go externally http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Car-Rear-View-Camera-Waterproof-Backup-License-Plate-Reversing-Parking-Sensor-/271202049220?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item3f24e6dcc4 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/WIRELESS-CAR-REAR-VIEW-KIT-7-LCD-MIRROR-MONITOR-IR-REVERSING-CAMERA-UK-/230870127086?pt=UK_In_Car_Technology&hash=item35c0ee91ee

It can be an expensive hobby - in last couple of years I have just purchased my first set of all in one leathers - had 20 years of leather jackets and jeans - not good

Yes they are worth it - as Gambit says just check for cracks etc

nitemare sorry to hear that :(

my 2p - I think you would be better using your old heads as it will match with the existing loom / sensors etc and wont confuse the ECU

oh I dont doubt it - a fair few surprised looks long the way I would say :D

yup really clean - puts a lot of other weekend gypsy vehicles to shame ;)

Very nice - Im a bit of a team green fan myself

Very nice!! wotcha and welcome - do like the big square chunky alloys in first pic

If you are intending to be running at lots of high revs (whilst it is in your kitchen), look at changing the oil pump, putting in a sump baffle and the coolant pump to stop overdrive and cavitation.

What mileage have you got on the clock? before replacing the injectors I would look at ensuring airflow in and out is maximised and engine is in good working order to get a good starting point so look at getting existing injectors cleaned / serviced good spark plugs etc. then induction kit + filter exhaust manifold hi flow or decat if cat in place rolling road session to get fuelling spot on and see what you have got and understand how much the existing injectors are being loaded a decent spark from plugs and hi performance leads next in order to increase the fuel air mixture into the chambers have the heads gas flowed - at this point it may be prudent to change the injectors. Gas flowing the heads will give you an accurate point for flow rates and an injector size can be matched accordingly, you may also find reprofiled cams will allow extended duration giving more mixture flow time and increasing the bang. before all of this though I would got to a rolling road session and just see what the engine is developing as is then at least you can see if any changes you make improve the situation or not.

like that - subscribed myself

yup cortinas electrics and water was never a good mix - all the wigglies would swim away

sorry dont have any - although I will be in a similar situation myself as the wheels currently in place need refurbing

I have done exactly the same with speakers in the past - would mdf spacer rings help by moving them forwards??

stealth buys tee hee :P

that does look like an absolute bargain!

I'm intrigued :)
