Trig Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I had a little measure up last night and where I intend to place the turbo may require some 'modification' to the front panel............. to the slam panel? bit of gringing action a la v6 conversion style Out of interest, what manifold will you be using? cusyom made?

Stu Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I have a manifold in mind, but i'm not 100% sure what to do yet as the turbo has a divided input and ideally you'd run a manifold with a matching setup... I don't really want a tubular manifold though as they're unreliable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know tubular ones can fracture, which apparently is one of the reasons Ford used the cast one on the FRS (what I remember reading somewhere, might be wrong) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although i'm not really happy with the design of it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKeymeister Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Just thought I'd show you these...mine came with the 'proper' spoiler for some reason (Saloon 1.6 Ghia, '95)...pics... I'm sure mine won't ever be 1/10 as good as yours Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexico_16v Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 Not me.. I don't buy it but sometimes customers leave them laying around.. what is it?It's a mk4 2.1zvh turbo, 4 door? 90 spec bodykit and seats, peppermint geen on diamond cut RS 7's. Tech spec shows the engine is well spec'd. Also says that a saff cossie rear spoiler fitted straight on......... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 Koptor- do you still have the car? If so could you open the boot and tell me the part code from underneath the spoiler at the end?

I know a lot of people use the cossie spoiler, but I don't like it personally! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so could you open the boot and tell me the part code from underneath the spoiler at the end? Certainly do - it's in the garage at the moment being MOT'd (fingers crossed!), should hopefully have it back tonight for a bit of frantic bit-swapping from the white one to the red one I'll make sure I do it for you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 So is it just a standrad ford spoiler your after is it? Sure is, i'm a big fan of OE stuff. I think I have one now, in the post!

Joe Posted September 5, 2007 Share Posted September 5, 2007 I don't know what it does, but it looks cool, question, are you doing all the greasy work yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu Posted September 5, 2007 Author Share Posted September 5, 2007 I don't know what it does, but it looks cool, question, are you doing all the greasy work yourself? I'm not sure yet. I'll be stripping it down myself and building the new engine, but i'll probably enlist some help from a friend or two at various stages I do usually avoid the greasemonkey side of this stuff though....
