Scort_CVH Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 And btw Jordan they must of been some size of speed bumps to bang the flange, it's usually the centre box. My mate was running an rs2k on 60mm and a magnex on 15" and he never managed that lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan99940 Posted October 20, 2010 Author Share Posted October 20, 2010 actually it was more a ramp at college going up it and when it levels out at the top there is also about a drop of an inch if that makes sense. and after measuring a stock escort at college i think ive dropped about 2 inches, which equates to 50mm.

Cheers I think it is 50mm all round never thought about measuring them just measured the Standard ride height of another escort and have come to that conclusion. Next thing is get get my power steering pipe sorted as today i'm Driving the mothers car. then next on the Agenda is a replacement engine which Tez has nicely lined me up for. then possibly get that laguna splitter done Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jordan99940 Posted November 11, 2010 Author Share Posted November 11, 2010 Well guys i got my car back on Tuesday. its the Fiesta RS1800 engine but with the stock cams but as the starter motor was in a different place so i had to have the Gear box off it aswell. i think the ratios for first and second are slightly shorter. i am hoping to get a new Bumper soon i think i have got one lined up. and am hoping to get my self either the Focus Zetec Manifold fabricated on or i might invest in a HID Kit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan99940 Posted December 2, 2010 Author Share Posted December 2, 2010 (edited) well as of last week it got a bit snowy as you may have noticed so went to college and only like 6 people were there so me and my friends done some bits on my car, trying to find what is wrong with my Heated Windscreen. we couldn't find anything we had one thought it could be the switch has any body ever had a problem with this? i got a multi meter in the plugs and the points have electric relay is in good condition. so i think it might be the switch, also i got a bit inventive and started becoming an engineer for the day (never a job for me ) but this is my out come http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/25818.jpghttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/25819.jpghttp://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/25820.jpg IMO they look really good and it was a bit of fun to pass the time.
