i'm considering getting one from http://www.c2motorsports.net/supercharger_kits.asp Could try and get a group buy or discount for 2 at the very least

surfer - you're a hard man to get hold of - i've asked to buy your leads twice and never received a response - whats the crack?

i knocked up this li'l reference guide that i think you may find useful......

how jiggy had he got? was there naked flesh jumping around with burning bushes :onfire:

we certainly form a good double act, Furki, but chris likes slagging it around with anyone and doesn't mind being involved in anyones F&%KUP, not just mine :onfire: - we're "fixing" things again at the weekend so there may be more installments next week. One thing to bear in mind is that everyone probably has x% f*&KUP's but our x% has a higher count cos we've probably done quite a lot compared to most

whats worrying here chris is that we've got more than everyone else put together and theres more coming to mind all the time but i still think wheels flying through cricket fields (check your nuts when chris is about:D :D) and barbequed family canines takes some beating :D:D:D

Oversize steering rack and wheels at 10 to 2 no doubt!!!! :D :D :D :D makes me feel so much better and so much brighter after the howlers i've let everyone in on :oops:

they clip in nee botha

god help us - tug it around a bit - mental block and can't remember which way the arrow should point - where's the oil filter!!!??? This thread does not best higlight the knowledge base on the board :D

hang fire - the common denominator is chrisvr6tractor in all of this affair!!!!! Another one springs to mind, chris. ME AND CHRIS VR6NOS were dropping off some chicks in wallsend (i'm glad the wife isn't on the board) in my fathers cortina mk3 estate - like a bed in the back, it was :D , when trying to show off, i made a qucik change from 2nd to 3rd and the gearstick and my hand travelled forward before slamming into the dashboard, said gearstick having abandoned the gearbox and said girsl abandoning us and us being abandoned in wallsend - not the best place to be - 20 miles from home :roll:

not currently supercharged - declared as std vr, cheeky wippersnapper

theres a big arrow on it for direction of flow, isn't there?

please fill in the remaining pertinent details, I was doing task ................ with chrisvr6nos......... :D :D:D:D:D:D

its so unbelievable - we've wet ourselves over the years recounting it - the petrol station one was pretty unbelievable as well - if the station reserves had gone up, it probable would've taken out the hairdressers i was sat in and i'd have been none the wiser and dogless

fitted chargers, nitrous, rebuilt engines, fitted different brakes,made quickshifts, de-locked handles, head gaskets - no failures, fires or abandoned cricket matches TO DATE!!??

learnt by HARD experience kev:D :D

theres more and more coming to mind all the time.......if you made them up, people'll would say your a lying b£$%$d!!!! they're so bizarre! :D

.......me and chrisvr6nos (sounds familiar) rebuilt a mk2 escort engine and fitted an inline clear plastic fuel filter to enable fuel flow to be visually checked when - not infrequently - escort stopped running. thrashed escort, complete with pet labrador in back seat, from bedale to sunderland and called into hairdressers to get haircut, leaving said escort parked in nearby petrol station. sat in hairdressers as numerous fire engines flew by at unusually high speed!!!!!!! Exited hairdressers to find numerous fire engines station around my escort with severe engine fire damage and blackened windscreen with dog still sat in back seat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! By all accounts, not only did the fire brigade have to deal with a spontaneously combusting escort in a garage forecourt potentially causing the biggest incident in weeks, when opening the car door, they found a rabid, terrified dog who had no plan to move so was left in the back to barbeque if things had got worse!!!!! Moral of story - unless you want barbequed dog, don't fit plastic inline fuel filters that can melt on severely thrashed, hot rocker covers on which they lie - (Dont' tell the fire brigade). PS. After visiting local scrapyard and wrapping cables, looms and pipes round waists and paying a fiver for a new battery, the escort was back on the road the next day complete with battle-scarred severely fire scorched bonnet.

...amusing tales or horror stories. Thought of this when reading scarlets thread on the garage leaving a rag in the airbox. Anyway, i have 2 horror stories to list, all resolved but with some heartache. I'm sure theres some out there that resulted in total nightmares - SH!T - i've thought of a third - i'll get them down quick... 1.....me and chrisvr6nos offered to do my grandfathers fiesta plugs one time and while the plugs were out, decided to do the tappets .................... two hours later, one rocker cover bolt into pot one, head off and new head gasket and grandfather wondering why his plugs took so long - a quiet, smooth fiesta with an amazingly pokey engine considering only the plugs had been replaced :roll: 2. ........bought polo for wife and did a general service - with a notchy gearbox, decided to top up the gearbox. Identified top up which turned out to be a linkage dowel. Dowel dropped, linkage fell off and tinkled around inside the box. One stripped down box and clutch later and quickshift into the bargain, wife has smooth, shortshift box but doesn't understand why i hate the car. 3. ................me and chrisvr6nos (theres a commom thread starting here) fitted rs2000 axle with 9" drums to my 1.3gl mk2 escort. Took it for a spin down the country roads of Bedale where i lived at the time to check the brakes. With a massive CLUNK! at about 70mph, the back end dropped and a rear wheel flew past us as i struggled to control the car without braking and popping out the brand new rear brake cylinders. Said wheel then bounced over a hedge, cut through the middle of an ongoing cricket game, through the wicket itself and off into the adjoining field. Got a lot of nasty stares from guys in white togs, eyeing the 3 wheel escort with 70yard gouges in the tarmac from u-bolts and drum backingplate that had ground down almost to the axle Moral of incidents - plug up plug holes, buy a haynes manual before trying to identify gearbox top ups and always check your nuts when chrisvr6nos has been round :D

Privilige - VR6 '95 - £300 fully comp for me and the wife - struggled to get anywhere close to this anywhere else and never seen cheaper

me and chrisvr6nos offered to do my grandfathers fiesta plugs one time and while the plugs were out, decided to do the tappets...... ........two hours later, one rocker cover bolt into pot one, head off and new head gasket and grandfather wondering why his plugs took so long - a qiuet, smooth fiesta with an amazingly pokey engine considering only the plugs had been replaced :roll:

i've done this twice and can't remeber having a problem??!! Just get a big hammer out :oops:

chris - youre right - inxx from eorucarparts - i fitted'em to mine and chris's, now yours - you gotta be careful where you drill the bonnet - remove an existing wing bolt to fit ball on which the strut mounts and grind the ball socket on the strut otherwise theres insufficient range of movement to allow the bonnet to open and the ball either pops off or tries to pull out the ball mount from the wing. Not as bad as it sounds - took a little bit of mucking around but you know me and chris normally find an answer:) PS - you'll have to call round so i can measure the position of the holes in the bonnet - the reason its critical is because theres a small area of the bonnet where its double skinned and will accept a tap to fit the strut ball mount. Open for business if anyone wants these fitted - i'll have to remember to get some pics :wink: ...and as for the stands at GTI saying they don't work - well they just weren't imaginative enough - took me and chrisvr6NOS about 20mins to sort out and they never failed - until the strut expired that is - but that happens to all struts eventually

put me on the list once you have a rate for a group buy inc shipping cost please

makes me feel better - slightly -
