was good fun, nice to catch up, i got home no worries with a little pace on the motorway lol, loved those mk2 escorts, very nice

chris

yeah and that rover v8 good to see you all

Yeah, that Tranny van was mint.  And for £1850 ono, that Rover SD1 V8 was a proper motor.

Some good cars there last night - including our lot.

Overall, 7 MK1s from this Forum attended, and others were scattered around too.

Good to see everyone - thanks all for making the effort.

I took it steady on motorway back up, and managed to get back without the manifold dropping off.  Reckon mine was the loudest there last night, but also the cr@ppest sounding one too! Lol.

Cheers.

You mean the crosser?

Yeah, it did sound like a crosser - might go out rallying on fields tonight!

haha and wait for the police to come thinking its a group of chavs

glad you got back ok steve, hopefuly its not your manifold, pig job and expensive, brightside though, you have an excuse for a stainless one


chris

Chris,

It is the manifold - 2 holes in banks 2 and 4.

It's a 4-2-1 job, so obviously not original (OEM was a cast iron job wasn't it?).

It can be welded, which is being done on Tuesday night, but think a Stainless Steel one will end up going on soon after.  Presume ARB removal is required, but should be OK otherwise - inlet and exhaust manifold was unbolted last year for head work anyway.

Unit3Tuning do one on ebay seems a decent price.  45mm inlet and 50mm outlet - they the standard sizes?
