Yeah im clearly a brainless idiot, who has built everything from 4 stroke race engines for autograss to 2 stroke bike engines, custom exhaust systems, 1 off intake manifolds to fit 40's onto a mk2 fiesta! i spend alot of time working on rally car's with friends, things like RWD 205 gti's(sequential box), rwd mk3 escort's (200bhp pinto) and the daddy.. the escort cosworth, 8 injector setup,anitlag, water injetion, 7 speed R&D sequential box,pectel managment etc

im not the one who's asking about a belt driven compressor...:wall:

I will get you some next time im doing some work, and maybe some of the corsa electric power assisted steering were currently fitting to the rwd escort aswell!

these people are obviously n00bs mate don't worry about it, he took your reply waaay over the top! If he was a bit more specific maybe he would of got a sensible reply! VTEC saxo knows nothing either so dont listen to him!

Oh and Ryan.. I think you need to start cracking down on the way some people are replying on here! making us look like a bunch of tards tbh..

Ryan

16th March 2009, 18:16

Also someone on here was building one but not seen anything of it.

As i have said millions of times before, you do feel the difference in throttle response. :P

lol at this thread.

cant believe the way some people jump down other peoples throats.
the people who know what they are talking about can see right through the people who are "blagging" their wisdom.

trevorRS, sounds like you have worked on a large array of cars. get a thread up with some build pics

16th March 2009, 21:41

There was the RS Turbo powered rwd 106 as well.

tbh, sure that Trevor guy had said before that he is a little older than most on here, so why would he not have helped build that little lot. I, for one, would quite like to see pics of them all. Some of them sound very interesting, particularly the cosworth ;)

i seriously doubt im older than most on here.. its just i have grown up around cars and bikes... and i didnt waste every penny i had shagging half the town or pissing money against the wall! never had lots of money so had to learn to fix things myself..

Yeah, i will do when i get the camera charged and get some good ones! finished mounting the corsa power steering in the escort tonight and its bloody brilliant! The car needs a proper tidy up and respray but that dosent make you go any faster.

Took a couple with my phone while i was out but there rubbish quality! will get them uploaded in a minute.

edit: they are terrible! only a few you can make out but will upload them anaway!

Ah sorry dude, thought I'd read somewhere that you were that little bit older than some on here (No offence). Must have got you confused with someone else.

Some of the best cars I have seen have have been built at home in peoples sheds. Got several round here that have never had a 'professional' touch them, including several bike engined mini's, a classic mini with a Type R lump, Vauxhall Redtop powered mini and a big power RS Turbo, all of which have been/are being built on mates drives or in lockups on tight budgets

corsa powersteering mounted.. wiring needs reworked for heavier cable.

i'd agree, there are some serious bits of kit that have never seen a "pro" touch them.

nice work with the corsa steering column... was it easy enough to wire up? it looks a good space saving mod.

at work im currently helping finish off a corsa vxr powered westfield. it will go like a rocket once in production.

Ryan

16th March 2009, 22:12

Danny ive allways wondered what is your job title at westifeld?

TrevorRS

16th March 2009, 22:14

yeah dead easy to wire in, you get a box with adjustable settings on it... to replace the fact its been removed from the corsa ecu which i believe control's its sensitivty with speed.

Can get one for about £25-30 from most rally shops and i believe there on ebay at the minute. guy who bought the rack got it out of an 07 (i think) for £70 the lucky bugger!

haha quite possibly lol.

ill take a pic of the new vxr car if im allowed. its being built for a dealer for a BIG show so it might be confidential.

whats happened to spaxo? havnt you fixed it yet?

oh just to post something on topic.

there are different types of chargers that are belt driven. you hve rotrex/jackson/vortex etc. the most popular is rotrex as its new technology and is VERY efficient with more or less no disadvantages.
