1.1 Singlepoint to 1400cvh carb

when you get older it's better, and nothing exciting happens at 25 with insurance, it justs you get more places to get quotes from.

Dave mate, Sounds like Your lucky to be still here!

Maybe Ill have a look were they go on the other speakers, Do You recon these new ones will fit in the door were the old ones were?

Cheers For Your Help Mate

Do you mean fit 6x9s into a fiesta door? They won't go in the original position easily, 6" are a struggle. Best really would be a set of components for the front. I probably wouldn't go for that range of sonys either. I had a set of 5" that were old but quite good, but my mate had a set of speakers in one of the newer range and the sound quality was pretty bad

Cheers For the Advice Mate,

I might have to parcel shelf them, Or modify the door a little, Were theres a will theres a way

I'll race ya in my 1300

Your On Sean!

Cheers For the Advice Dave, I may have to parcel shelf those speakers,

Sean, It sounds like You have a few mods on that 1300 mate!

Do You wanna fill us In, Is It a Fez?

Lol, MK I Fiesta 1300GL, 1340cc, 7500rpm if you dare, headwork, cam, XR2 carb, tubular manifold, stainless exhaust, piperx filter, aftermarket complete replacement ignition, just needs setting up really - 89 BHP last time it went on the rollers.... which isn't bad in a car that weighs 750kg or so (nearly 900 with a full tank and me in it mind...)

and thats only 15kg of fuel....

Sadly sean weighs a bit more than 15kgs tho.

Mind you, that 1.3 took me by supprise with my red 135hp SI...had to drop a cog to catch up...

Fair play for reaching those kind of figures for a 1300, I think Ill leave You well alone for the time being,

I wonder what can be done to My 1400 block to gain more hp, I bought some bosh preformance plugs 2day, stuck em in, and the car runs a whole lot smoother,

Like dave said, No point doing too mutch with My Lump, Just tidy her apperance up alittle, Just won a set of alloys on ebay, Kinda half regreting it now, They look quite plane, What You recon Lads

i have put NGK 3 prong plugs, they make the car rougher on idle, but seem to revs better

With the bosh Plugs, I couldnt realy notice any diff in acceleration, But the Car Is Smoother,

Dont know if this is normal for a 1.4, But I cant go above 40 in second gear, and its cryin out, My 1.1 did the same thing lol, Also, been noticing a delay in acceleration, Hence Why I changed the plugs,(also saw the opitunity to get preformance ones ) if it doesent improve, Ill go to town on the leads, I just hope I havent got any vacum leeks

the delay is from the carb, and probably nothing you can do about it. Best is to clean the carb out with redex.
Since you have the 1.1 box still on, the only increase in speed in gear, is from the engine reving slightly hire than the 1.1
Your rev to speed ratio will still be the same. The longer the gearing the higher the speed to any given rev, compared to a shorter box that will increase acceleration due to shorter speed to rev range

Cheers Mg

Is There any special methood to follow when cleaning out the carb?

Is there only one type of redex,

Cheers

you want a fuel cleaner suitable for carbs. Redex can be put in the tank, or at small amounts at a time - straight into the carb. less than 1/2 a tea spoon (take the filter housing off)

ivegot an aerosol carb cleaner, worked wonders on the capri

Cheers Guys, Gonna Try the redex out
