So, this is not rotary related, but I thought I could use my contacts...
So, Ford Fiesta 1,6 16v SPORT year 2000. Wanted parts:
-gearbox, with 4,25 final ratio

So I need favor for my UK friends. Can you please check your scrapyards if they have these parts on sale? And price?
Much appreciated!!!
Cheers

Oh, reason for this, I might as well tell it now...

In summer I desided that I wont be in rallycross service in season 2020. I wanted year off. However, in same time, massive racing fever hitted me. Cant figure that out, Im over 40 and never wanted to race...

For several months now, I have been doing research, studying, asking and so on, about different cars in one Class...
So, today I got Group V1600 Ford Fiesta 1.6 16v Sport...

Yeah, I know, I hate Fords. However this time, heart came second and I made reasonable and smart choise

Plan is to race in Rallycross in that V1600 class in our national series...

Good luck Jarno.
I understand as I have raced many different cars over the years.
Keep us posted with the project, because like I said, we are always interested in other things our Rotary owners are doing.
Thanks guys...

But its a Ford...

This car raced in tarmac rally sprints in this season. Tallented young guy, I think he is 17 years old, won juniors cup with it...

Anymore numbers mate?
Is the car a zetec s?
Finding boxes but nothing with those numbers.
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
Yes, car is zetec s. Most important thing is that final ration is 4.25. There is much these same boxes in different variations. Like Puma has 4.27. I reckon I could use that too. But in this class rules say that it needs to be cars own box, identical, no mods allowed...
Cant find any info. And asked from few friends, they dont know either...

Sent you 1....fc instead of fb...i dont know....
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
Thanks mate.

Im not sure what that means. I reckon that it will tell that final drive ration. I have to do some research
Lähetetty minun G8141 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
Ill have another look and google tomoz.
When i needed a coltie gearbox (1 of 11 left) i spent about a week searching ended up downloading mitsubishi gearbox pdf that explained all the numbers and yes the final drive ratio was part of the code..
And i was able to buy a Proton persona gearbox with the identical final drive ( fast acceleration). We will endeavour to find 1.
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
I have tryed to find meaning for those numbers. One dude said that all off those are Fords parts codes but didnt find meaning for FA, FB, FC...
Search continues...
But I reckon I need few those boxes if there is. And front bumbers too

I forgot today..

will continue tomoz.

I may have found you 1 Jarno...from a Ford Breaker...im just checking he will send to Finland.

Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
This direct quote from Ford specialist breaker...and willing to stick on a pallet to Finland...( no front bumper though).
The very last letter of the part number just refers to a later version / manufacture date of that part.
YS6R-7002FA, YS6R-7002FB, YS6R-7002FC are all the same gearbox, there is no difference in drive between them.
1.6s zetec mk5 Fiesta gearbox.
Whatya reckon....? Box is 50 quid...

Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
Umm... Weird. I might be looking at wrong code then. Cause some code in that box should tell what it has inside...

Is that box from Sport version? Cause normal version has different final drive.

If that really is what I need, its cheap

Lähetetty minun G8141 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
I dunno mate...there are SO many different boxes...Ford couldve saved themselves millions with a standardisation program.

Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
Can you get them to check somehow that finaldrive thing. Cause it they are wrong, by class rules I cant use them, and they arent worth anything to me

Reason my search is that we have those basic boxes here, but not these Sport boxes...
Can you get quote for shipping? And if that box is right one, Ill take two if they have

No worrys...theyve only got the 1 mind.

Exatly mate. I have done so research and theres soooo many different variations. Basic housing is the same that they have used in many cars. But internals, this Fiesta uses 4.25 final, but Puma has 4.27, alltough all other gears are the same. Stupid Ford...
And then there is 4.20 and 4.23...
Stupid Ford...
Lähetetty minun G8141 laitteesta Tapatalkilla
Id check with the race organisers as those small diff in ratios gonna have naff all effect...esp in rallycross when the wheels are spinning most of the time anyway.
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
Well, it is not up to race organisations. Its FIA rules for that class. Basically, if I blow up this box, I cant fit similar to it, like Fokus box or normal Fiesta box. It has to be this Sport versions own box...
However, that Puma box is so near with this box, I reckon no one can tell the differense if I dont tell them...

And this box, especially this final ration is one reason I choose this car. With 4.25 its one of the fastest of the line. Fokus for example has 3,60 or something like that...
I might be to hasty with this thing, cause this box is actually quite strong. I just wanted to see if I have option to get these from UK

Ok mate...ive been out of action today.
Sent from my SM-N950F using Tapatalk
Yep. Thanks for your effort mate, much appreciated.

This whole gearbox thing started to piss me off.

Weird that code for that exact box cannot be found. Ill have to do more research.
Today, Ill go shopping. Racing suit and that stuff. And, was it called "a lid"?

Also Hans devise...
Oh, and car has a nickname now. Its calles Blueberry
