Hello

Hi Guys,

I just bought a 325 Sport 'G' Reg, couple of things I need to know pls.

Where can I get front and side clear indicators?

What are the first steps in engine modification?

many thanks

Yodi

I believe that Euro Car Parts & German & Swedish do clear indicators.

Engine modification? Try a freeflow air filter (either a panel filter which fits into your existing air box or an induction kit which replaces your existing filter housing).
You could also get yourself an uprated exhaust system.
Also consider a custom chip (Im sure others know of good makes) for your ECU.

If you search the forum, you will see that these have been discussed widely before.

Hi Guys,

Thanks for your help.

Why are the induction kits a no no??
Also what are the FSE adjustable fuel pressure regulators like on these?

Whats the power on a standard sport?

Sorry for all the questions and thanks for all your help. Ive had a couple of bm's but standard. Im an RS boy myself, just building a mk1 escort with a cossie turbo engine in it

Thanks, Yodi

Cheers mate,

so an induction kit would be ok if we made a protective heatshield for it?

Cheers

His name is Ant mate, i'm sure ihe will be more than happy to help you, out.  Don't confuse his chips with the ones seen on ebay.

Just to add my wee bit to this induction kit issue. I have a Ram air inducton kit and a Blue Peter stylee ally boxed heatshield. I have 2 pipes feeding the box with one directly fitted to the cone filter, it has an inverted cone in the middle of the filter that the RAM pipe fits into. This, as Paul has said, moved the torque power band about 500rpm up the scale but a cam change reversed this move and brought it back down to about the 2800rpm mark, slightly earlier than the standard. This has given me approx 10 - 15bhp. The next option for me will be a 3 piece exhaust manifold and freeflow stainless system and an ECU change, should raise it over the 200bhp mark if properly set up on a rolling road. I also use an FSE Boost Valve set to 3.5bar and it gives a much cleaner initial take off and mid range acceleration and doesn't suffer from the pressure drop that the standard regulator can cause when you floor the pedal though I'm sure that this is enhanced by the CAM as well.

Good to see another MK1 enthusiast M8 

We used to build one offs with the old MK1's. We had an original RS BDA1800, a mad mental RS2000 with No2 and toyed with a 4 wheel drive conversion!!! That was fun I'll tell you!!

Are you going to use the RS500 lump in your MK1 or will it just be the standard cossie? Loads of work to make the car handle 200 - 220BHP if it's a standard chassis!! Even more if it's 450 - 500bhp    best of luck M8.

lol no that is another individual that i will not comment on matey there is always plenty of advice or comments on the quality of Ant's chips on www.e30zone.co.uk forum.  I belive quite a few people on this forum have them fitted to, me being one of them.
