Was there already mate, the car did come with the original but it's slightly knocked at the corners so kept this one on.

Pissed off that it's just started raining, i'll have to fuel in the morning now

I was trying to decide what to keep me busy in the late summer/winter, the missus says a Series One or RS1600i but money maybe an issue to do such a complex resto of a mk3 Escort. Maybe another Fiesta RS Turbo.

Like a 'conquering device' left my camera at home yesterday so i made up for it today

Managed to pick up a set of new rear lights yesterday so thats all new lights now.

These came through the post this morning off "MONSTER" Dave for the bargain price of £28 to the door in a group buy organised through a Series One forum :D

6 Paddle going in Thursday then Just got to get my Holiday out the way (yes Shaun my first this year :lol: ) then it's down to MSD Blackpool at the end of the month :devil:

Time now to concentrate under the bonnet, i missed my first booking at Motorsport Delopment on Thursday due to a garage not having the steering rack and pump fitted for me whilst i was on holiday :x so Stu kindly slotted me in this week so here goes the engine spec:

Stg 3 inc T35 & pace 500 cooler, the map thats on this chip is all over the place after being in the car for 14 years so it's time for an upgrade to an Evolution chip which i was told by MSD to expect 350+bhp peaking at 26psi and holding 22 which i'm more than happy with, well this should be a handful to start with, i have a few other goodies to add to the car over the next couple of weeks inc Bailey breather system, Grp A GGR strut brace for the front, Scorpio 21mm rear anti roll bar, reconditioned rocker cover in Escos Blue, mongoose rear box with 3" rolled out tail then i'll be weighing up what brake configuration i can use behind the stanrd wheels.

More updates this week after the tuning session :D

Ok ta, will see if I can polish it up first. I'm not even sure where half of those decals are meant to go :lol: Its the red and white asbestos warning one I want mainly. Might see about some dealer plates, the ones in the ealry pages of these thread look spot on.
