First drive after converting from pinto to zetec.

I have just taxed my indy and taken it out for the first time after swapping the pinto to a 2.0 zetec.
I thought the pinto was good but the zetec is fantastic.It revs up faster, accelarates faster and the new yokohamas are excellent
i didn't want to put it away when it was time to go home.

Can't wait for sunday morning.

Andy

I have the 1.8 in mine on twin 40's and GEMS ECU running the ignition plenty fast enought, I would recommend fitting th 2 litre camshafts for the extra bit of oooomph about another 10bhp

Hi Andy,

The tyres are Parada spec 2's. They are a lot better than the concrete tyres that came with the wheels.

Austin man,

It is a 2.0 engine.i bought it from a ford fitter,who told me it was a 136 motor with 60000 miles on it.
I Have a spare 1.8 zetec that i was going to fit 2.0 cams to but i got the chance of the 2.0.

Andy
