This is why the Pipercross Viper cold air feed induction kit is a popular upgrade. Basically ripping out the standard filter box and pipework.
There is a how to in the list, but for a mk1 F, which is actually a much more complicated procedure than anything newer because of a resonator box that needs cut out...

Notanumber post=209303 userid=17316I put a mid range set of JBLs in my previous classic car and was really impressed with them. Certainly chalk and cheese compared with the standard fit, early 80's Ford, paper coned speakers they replaced. Im with you on the Carmina Burana, knocks your socks off, especially performed live.

Not being a foot fetishist I don't really care about knocking socks off, but I would find it much more impressive if it had the ability to knock bras n panties off!

What the hell is that?
is the tank really holding a bit of fuel in it that will never get out unless you drive it on the wall of death?



DAVID AIKETGATE WROTE:-
It used to be a well known fact that if you were low on fuel, a quick wizz round a roundabout, would see the gauge lift back up, 😂

Of course, not applicable for those who drive on the wrong side of the road!😜

David Aiketgate replied to the topic 'Speedometer/odometer re set' in the forum. 7 days ago

With the older mechanical odometer/speedos it was possible to physically rotate the number dials to create a new mileage reading. However, in Blighty, the good old home country, the mileage is recorded every year when you go for your MOT certification, so a pretty pointless exercise, unless you were trying to match a replacement clock to the correct mileage.
 Interestingly, my mk2 F (electronic odometer) had a replacement second hand instrument cluster fitted that was approx 100,000 miles less than actual. It was simply recorded into the MOT database as such.🫡

I strongly suspect tbat if tbe switch and relay are in situ, the wiring to the lamps themselves will also be there. Probably tied back onto the wiring loom.in the area of the lamp positions.
