Hi Guys,

I tried to post on the new members forum but it wouldnt let me so here i am.

Before i start i havent got a Locost, although a mate and I did build a Locost a few years ago with a GPZ1100 engine (mainly him TBH) I was told you are a friendly and helpful bunch so thought i'd see if i could be accepted here as other forums ive visited are, well not so much.

I've basically built my dads (who passed away 2 years ago) 1.4 Zetec (Sigma, Duratec) 2006 Fiesta into a track car and have recently put a set of Mikuni bike carbs on it with a Nodiz.

It went yesterday to get it rolling roaded and 3D mapped and came away with a very pleasing 106bhp (80bhp standard) that's just with the carbs, Nodiz & very basic Sportex cat back exhaust.

Came out with a lovely torque & BHP curve also.

So anyway, Hi to you all and thanks in advance for having me (assuming you do)

Greetings and welcome,

That’s a respectable bhp from a zetec, I bet your dad would have loved it.
