tt engine pic please
Yeh passenger tubbie is the easier tub to remove but the oil pipe is a a real pita,i doubt it could be done in situ.Drivers tub oil feed is a dream to get at.

Smoke whilst coasting??
usually ring or piston related when that happens im afraid.A compression test may reveal the offending cylinder,worth a try.

tt engine pic please
passenger side would prolly be impossible,drivers could be done no trouble.its getting to the bracket that holds the pipe to the snail,would be best to remove the turbo,swap the pipe then refit it.

Miss Fire bad running Please help
You need to a run a 555 map with those injectors,it will overfuel badly on a stage one 370cc map,the ecu will open the 555,s longer as it will think its running a lower flow rate injector.

Aem engine mapping
The map sensor is useable and so is the wideband 02 sensor,you may need an egt sensor fitting depending on your state of tune.John Dixon is the guy to speak too.The final mapping is done by Dave Walker who is a legend in tuning circles.And the mapping is a fixed price. Jaffa,yours still not up and running fully yet?

Many aftermarket coolers need the ducts chopping to fit them,trouble is the ducts mask them so you cant see them,peeps need to see your aftermarket intercoolers :cool2: imho

anyone wanna buy an old Mk2 escort?
Im sorry but the mk2 escort could never be called "shit".The most rallied car in history and prolly the most influential rally car of all time.Its still used in vast numbers by clubman and is the historic rally drivers choice of car for a very good reason.It may have been flawed in some ways but no more so than any other 70,s car.

anyone wanna buy an old Mk2 escort?
I had a mk 2 1300 sport that i started to restore as a teenager,well i fell off the tracks then and me ole man binned it.Im gutted as they were rare then.the 1600 sport was common in its time but the 1300 was very rare,not rs 1800 rare but still would have made decent money now.it was almost at the paint stage but i never touched it in the end.Had a full SD cage,Rs brakes.modded engine,bucket seats and harnesses.god i wish id completed that car.
