Looking gooood! What ignition / induction set-up's going on the Zetec? Been thinking about getting one lately (a complete Zetec is cheaper than a decent head for my Pinto!), but need to go for the cheapest possible option....  Anyway, this car will rock mightily. Black Revos + Pink harnesses = win. |

omex management and hyabusa throttle bodies + custom inlet manifold - not the cheapest, but its worth doing properly if your doing it cheapest ive seen is an adaptor plate for a pinto DGAS carb - say £50 for carb and manifold, £30 for adaptor and a few more quid getting it set up - setup and running for under a ton fifty - standard zetec ignition and stuff i can get omex (for myself) at trade, and would rather spend the extra few quid to do it that way. |
