thankyou all
guiterman i wasnt aware u didnt get the mk3 {2000/2005} mondeo/contour yr right the st220 {svt} is tasty but not as nice as the mk4 which hasnt been released yet in fact it might not b keeping the mondeo name tag
as 4 the engine swap it aint been done yet although i have seen a v6 transplant in a 2.0 and ive seen a st200/svt engine in a mk1 so theres no doubt in my mind it can b done however these conversions were a lot of work which involved changing the engine wiring loom and half the interior wiring loom apparently u could splice the engine in 2 the original loom and remap the ecu using a unichip or something similar however splicing the engine 2 the loom would b more effort than changing the whole loom dont want 2 put u off but its a lot of work it might b worth converting yr current engine 2 a 3.0 but if u r hell bent on the conversion its worth remembering that jaguar now use the 3.0 duratech and with the help of variable valve timing and a few other little tricks its pushing closer 2 the 270bhp mark i could probably put u in contact with people that can help
mapoftazifosho unfortunately its only the FWD model ive been on the look out 4 a minted 4x4 model 2 supercharge {4 those of u that dont know the 4x4 complete running gear comes from the legendary seiara/escort cosworth so its all ready 4 the big power conversion} but unfortunately there as rare as rocking horse sh*t and even rarer in the ghiaX model
stoobie hello geezer im from gosport its the other side of portsmouth harbour do u get back over here often {dont blame u if u dont mate}
pre98 if yr referring 2 the rings in the headlights ford didn't make em i stuck halo led rings inside the headlight lens with a glue gun removed the sidelight bulbs and wired the rings 2 the sidelight wire
as 4 the car its still a work in progress exterior wise its nearly done all thats remaining is grill & bumper mesh, wheel arch spats, headlight brows and ive got a load of under bonnet bling in my cupboard just aint got round 2 fitting it yet
cheers peeps wes
