I removed a ford zetec zx1, aka zetec E management kit from my 7 last week. on my example, only the bare minimum interface was used . It was using the coolant temp sensor, the throttle position sensor plus a crank position sensor and the Exhaust cam position sensor. The only other connections to the car loom were tach and power.(I cut three wires). Only the engine speed signal wire and 12v constant and 12v switched were disconnected. It has been reported that for the ZX1, the intake manifold limits total power out put to around 145hp?. This particular ECU failed to function correctly after I had the head machined to raise compression. m

I also use Hawk HP Plus on the front. They are somewhat dusty, but I have 5 spoke TSWs. I don't know what Birkin put on the back axle but they are due for replacement as soon as the engine is fettled and reinstalled. I use the car on the road and track. m

Welcome. My Birkin lived in CR from 2000 to 2008. Drive it like it is a motorbike. Other CR drivers have no idea... m

I recently came across a weber alpha ignition kit for a zetec but a plug has been cut off the harness . It has four exposed wire ends. I'm not familiar with Weber wiring codes so if you could clarify the functions of the wires. My guesses are; 1, blue with white tracer....shift light? 2, large black....Ground? 3, large white....12v constant? 4,yellow....12v switched? thanks m Edit. Got those wires sussed, but now have two white wires on the same sub harness. Hopefully they're a splice.

I think it is not in the interest of Caterham cars, to be owned by a low tier F1 team, that needs money. Looks like they may change their name to Team Caterham from Team Lotus. :leaving: m

Double edged sword, that suggestion, James. :jester: I had a passenger/student at a Porsche driving school in the Birkin who was so Gobsmacked after wards, that it occurred to me that he could have had a Brown trouser moment. m

I'm trying to get my head around this. Most of the lower tier F1 teams have a "Paying Driver" in addition to chasing sponsors. These guys buy a low volume specialist manufacturer? Seems to me that they're not keeping their eyes on the ball. m

Which is which? :jester: m

I have a co-worker who calls mine "chitty chitty, bang bang" He drives a Ford Five Hundred...geriatric ride. I always respond with, "That's How I roll, Don't be Hatin' " Half the time, I refer to the Birkin as "The Insane Clown car" anyway. I also have a female friend, who keeps asking for the keys. She has one of those special edition Mustangs, but her driving skills are nothing to write home about. She has no idea of the sensory shock she'd experience if she tried to drive the Birkin on cold R compounds. I tell her that it is not running. m

Seems like the entire Midwest is 20-25 degrees colder than it should be. Rain, I don't mind so much. m

He's no slouch behind the wheel, but it is better to be lucky and good , than unlucky and good.. m

What's its name? Is that from the CARS movie? m

...And at the same time as the MX3, Mitsubishi had a 1.6l V6 in JDM Colts. m

Several people on the forum formerly known as Elisetalk have bought and installed Li batteries. There is/was also info from one of the vendors of these batteries. Not everyone was happy with the tech, but I'm sure that the technology has moved on since I saw the threads a couple of years ago. m

You missed the Bipolar Trollage. :leaving: m

Whooa! Glad you're ok. m

Bruce, That unit will make you a Very Happy Shiny Person.:party: :cooldude: m

Speaking of Clarkson's Ego, has anyone bought the iClarkson app for their IPhone? The guy is shameless. :smilielol5: m

Too bad about the stagger and the raised RF wheel. Makes it look like it is tentatively attempting to turn. The pilot snugged up between the rear wheels looks great though.. m

Um,.. I'd just like to say that the first responder, though harsh and angst ridden with regard to Estrogen based carbon units, was actually quite progressive. He told her to get her *ss out of the kitchen, and help the sod become a real man. Dreamkiller :smilielol5: m

.....has chronic adult acne. .....only eats Ramen noodles. .....Has a pervasive stammer. :willy_nilly: m oh, ....would die of fear if a passenger in a 7

If the guy had his own satellite.:ack: m

Mike. How about these? http://www.pegasusautoracing.com/productselection2.asp?Product=1840 m

I need a new silencer. The expensive UK Techcraft fit the bill, but are too hard on my wallet. I'm looking for a 6" minimum OD can about 20" long with 2.25" ID in/out. I wonder if Burns could construct some for a group buy? m

:drool: That is all. m
