Re: 2.8 Cologne .. can it be quick?

reading the Burton cologne tuning guide, its funny you need a pair of stage 1 heads and a kent cam to get 165bhp... which is how much 'Ford lied' its supposed to have as standard.

The 2.8i has around 150ish horse power as standard ...

Re: Aiming high 1.6 130-140 bhp

The bore of a sportex/Ashley/cci system as about half an inch too big even for a 2 litre. For best gas speed and cylinder extraction you're best of with an inch and three qtr. two and a qtr is too big. They are 2 inch bore i always thought... i have a sportex system in my shed, i must measure it to...

if i remember correctly you run into valve train geometry problems running anything much more than a mild fast road cam on a 1.6 pinto engine.

Re: Aiming high 1.6 130-140 bhp

The 2 litre cam although an improvement on the 1.6 litre cam is still very mild, I doubt you would get anywhere near your hoped for target of 130-140 bhp even a 2 litre pinto wouldnt make much over 115 bhp with a std cam.

I have a suggestion though for a 1.6 pinto, what about nitrous ;)

Re: Citroen C4 cactus

We used to have a thing for ripping nasty mudflaps off of 2CVs. I think I may have started that amongst us. Stupid nasty mudflaps that used to stick out at an angle. I had a misspent youth. so basically you used to vandalise peoples cars, and now you like to complain about people bumping your door ...

Re: Citroen C4 cactus

people bumping doors is the least of my worries :|

I live in one of those areas where the local chavs get great pleasure in booting your door mirror off in the middle of the night.

Ive had 3 mirrors booted off in the last couple of years :wank:
