Its a rattling smokey baxtered!

On the subject of mine, got it all built up today and its running like a new one! i think i maybe set the cambelt slightly too tight though because it 'zings' a bit.
I'll knock it off a touch when i can be arsed to lif the bonnet again!

[jonyb4]

been there myself, i hate cambelt tention, i never get it right, but id rather be too tight than to sloppy!

[Ratspeed]

:lol:

but id rather be too tight than to sloppy!

[Ratspeed]

Right guys, stick with me on this one!

Just imagine white calpers and white rim tape.........................

Aqua foam FTW!!






The reast will be painted when i can be arsed!

[jonyb4]

RS7 softies mate, all the way!

The other ones arent graphite, they are dark metallic green. this was just my spare.
I'm just sick of seeing the white car/green wheel combo. There seems to be alot going of it going on at the mo

Admit it, aqua foam wheels are the future............................

[jonyb4]

[- Danny Boy -]

Aqua foam FTMFW! White calipers will be sick , and an arse to clean! But totally worth it!

[jayrs]

been a while since i looked in, and i gotta say its looking good mate

[jonyb4]

didnt know about the RS18 block either mate, sorry i cant text back atm ran out of credit

was you fitting the head to a standard 1.8 block?


i had trouble finding a suitable gromet earlier for the amp power cable to go through, ended up using the one for the brake pedal, poked a hole in it and fed it through

standard sound system in these are quite good with a sub, you were right but just to be on the safe side ive fitted my 16cm speakers in the front

[Capri]

Wow, haven't poked my nose in here for a while Matt and it's looking spot on. Nice work! Very interested to see it with the aqua foam wheels all done!

[jonyb4]

alex you still got the ST24?

[Ratspeed]

Cheers guys, its nice to see some love for a s**t old workhorse!!

Alex, how about a feature?

didnt know about the RS18 block either mate, sorry i cant text back atm ran out of credit

No mate, we was putting the full engine in .On the Escort where the starter mounts at the back, the RS block had some webbing that blocked half of the hole! On the Fiesta its a front mounted starter.
We only found this out when we got the GTI engine out and mounted the box onto the RS lump ready to fit it back in.


So it was going to be either strip and rebuild the GTI engine with all the parts of the RS engine, or do this!

[jonyb4]

Oh

Where there's will there's a way

[Ratspeed]

Got my paint delivered today, roll on the long weekend

[jayrs]

i can honstly say ive not seen anyone do this before
but thats good thinking batman

[jonyb4]

haha i just noticed the pretty face tot he left of the starter hole!

[Ratspeed]

:lol: i can honstly say ive not seen anyone do this before
but thats good thinking batman

I had a few hours left and wanted to be driving out! It wasnt going to beat me!!

[Ratspeed]

Wheels on, theyre staying

In the sunlight they look awesome, the pics in the shade dont really do them justice.
Just waiting for the white rimtape to come through the door. They could maybe do with some more laquer, but i just wanted them on. I'll take them off soon and give the a good flat and polish.

Getting buffed up by a mate


The supervisor!

[fezza89]

they look pukka

[jonyb4]

very bold going with white calipers mate, theyre goinna be grey soon

wheels look good, they have a stink of jap about them though

[MK2 Jamie]

White caliper look spot on with those wheels. I love the color of the wheels.
