Needed suspension and brake overhaul which currently in the process of doing. Car needed a new ecu as the MS2 was misbehaving with the voltage and spiking which lead to alternators and coilpacks failing. This has been swapped with a ME221 and has a map transferred from a friends car which runs the same setup. This has only been done to get the car running and able to move around my work shop. Hoping this friday to have the car road mapped, if not will be booked in with Nick skuzzle asap to get it done. Car is booked to go to Snetterton on the 13th of February  Will post some more photo's soon |

Nice! Is that an Indy in the background? No, it's a 1600cc Xflow ford escort mk2 engine Locost kit car. Similar design to an Indy. These use ford escort/Cortina's for parts. About 130bhp with ITB's and sport cam. |

We used the same forum for years and do the same trackdays every now and again. Plus facebook. He's a good guy but can be hard work. Lol. |

Plus facebook. He's a good guy but can be hard work. Lol. Yes !! he certainly can be, i use to rent a unit from him at his parents farm. That's how i mainly knew him, he was sound in person but an internet troll online lol. I love the classic golfs, had 4 mk2's. Two 8v Gti's, 1.6 5dr driver and a 1.3 2dr. I've owned two mk4's but they are self-canoe so don't count |

Small update: Goodridge braided line bought from mx5parts fitted. New Apec discs and yellow stuff pads fitted. Suspension now installed with IL motorsport adjustable droplinks. Car is booked in with Skuzzle motosport for mapping end of the month. Have bought spare Denso coil packs and spark plugs in case with have an issue with the ignition during mapping. I swapped out my fuel pump for a Walbro 255 and now causes a misfire at 3K rpm..... Probably fouled the plugs with the over fueling and not making an efficient spark. Hoping to make 200Whp on 95ron. Watch this space........   My Skidnation butterfly rails which i'm yet to install....   |

 Bought some ignition spares for the up and coming mapping session two weeks today. Got some Denso toyota original coil packs and also a new set from SES autocentre (Cambiate) which are a pattern part copy of the Denso's. Will try one individual unit to see if it's compatible. Has anyone tried over brands of coil packs on their cops setup? |
