SLEEMAN Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Been on here for the last 6 years and i looked through all of my threads and noticed i haven't put a SUYM thread on here at all well for the last 5 years i have owned this: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/639954-1.jpg thats how it started out life then to this within two months: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/SV101960.jpg then fancied a new set of wheels: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/2009_08020126.jpg then it looked like this before i was garaged for the last year or so: http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/050.jpg only because the engine seized up which was a 2.0 for about 6 months! which looked like this http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/056.jpg so now its being fully stripped down and being turned into track toy car.............for now. so the original 1.8 engine is going back in with 2.0 cams new cambelt and water pump also a trust electric 4 branch manifold but still undecided about inlet go for standard for now or go for bike carbs/throttle bodies http://i73.photobucket.com/albums/i220/sleeman20/My%20Car/DSCF3618.jpg bought another set of wheels but proper good ones and may get some more again for a set of either slicks or semi slicks some more pictures to come soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lee grout Posted September 16, 2012 Share Posted September 16, 2012 Apart from the engine change what plans do you have to make it more of a 'track' car? What engine mods too if any? What power you wanna make? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SLEEMAN Posted September 16, 2012 Author Share Posted September 16, 2012 well i'm going to take it easy first, so going to run in this engine and see how the car handles with the suspension set up and brakes i'm going for along with wheels and tyres too, then i'll upgrade the engine when the 1.8 blows or fails on me! then i'll be looking to upgrade to st170 engine i will either lock off the variable timing or replace the head with a standard but modified 2.0 blacktop head. so minimal horsepower for now maybe up to 120-130. if the 1.8 survives alot of battering maybe i will upgrade to proper jenveys and management and see how that improves it. then when the time is right i'll upgrade engines. but now i'll concentrate on weight loss both me and the car in any way possible. but doing it proper rather than super budget way.

Scort_CVH Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 Remeber this from EP! lolDon't bother with the itbs mate you'll get about 130-140 and it's just not worth the cost, st170 engine can retain the vvt if you use standalone management. And that's an engine that has alot of potential!! I'm doing something similar when mine comes off the road, already got:Compmo's6 point cage with door barsAvo Coilovers with adjustable top mounts300mm front brakes Wheels came with the car but the rest owes me about £400 so no bad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmotorsport Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 As much as I love the ST170 engine, its not worth doing for the money it would cost you, they're a heavy engine and if you're spending money on engine changes, Duratec is the way to go, nice ST150 or 2.0L Mondeo engine. Otherwise you may as well retain the 2L Silvertop and spend your money tuning it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bronze4door Posted September 17, 2012 Share Posted September 17, 2012 (edited) keep it as a 2.0l with a set of bike carbs on it running a megajolt ignition and it'll have roughly the same power as a standard ST engine so its a waste of time putting the ST engine in it especially with the amount of work that will be involved with making it fit what suspension are you using i have koni shocks on mine and it handles quite well and surprises a few people on track with the performance Edited September 17, 2012 by bronze4door Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
