supersport Posted September 21, 2011 Author Share Posted September 21, 2011 right got a clutch and some brakes today. first thing to go wrong was the release bearingdidn't fit, so left the old one on. got the engine and gearbox bolted back together then struggled to get it back in the car. the rear gearbox mount is a sod to line up! managedto get it all bolted back in then started to fit all the bits back on, then went to put the radback in and the cradle i had was a cvh which is too short for a zetec rad, do left that andwent to sort the front brakes, pads were too small, then noticed that the near side driveshaft had got caught under the lower arm as they were still in the box, tried jacking thelower arm and strut up to pull the shaft out and ripped the cv boot. if it weren't for the rad cradle, pads and cv boot the car may have been back on it's wheels.sorry no pics as i was just getting on with it. so hopefully the car should be about done by theend of next week.

supersport Posted September 23, 2011 Author Share Posted September 23, 2011 old pads compared to the mondeo ones:http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/C72TLL/230920111320.jpg got the front end back together today, just need a set of pads then i can bleed the brakes.drained the old oil out and put some fresh stuff in and a new filter, the oil that came out wasreally black! then put the battery back on and turned it over with no spark plugs in to makesure it was fine, and it was. filled it up with water aswell to make there's no leaks. the onlythings left to do are change the tank and lines, make a bracket for the fuel filter, make anexhaust up as i need to move the brackets to suit the MK5 shell. and sort the wiring out! http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v629/C72TLL/230920111322.jpg oh yeah and it's back on 4 wheels.

supersport Posted October 13, 2011 Author Share Posted October 13, 2011 right i'm getting pissed off with this car as it keeps fighting me every step of the way!still trying to get it to run on all 4. today i managed to get it to rev to 6000rpm by leaving the inlet pipeoff but i had to press the throttle slowly as when you try to rev it fast it just dies. i've also got a fuelingproblem as the fuel rail doesn't hold pressure. i've swapped the injectors and pressure reg with knownworking ones and still the same. it's getting to the point where i'm going to rip the injection rubbish off andgo carb!
