think the rest is alright, just the guy before decided 2 ince wood screws would be a good way to put the drivers door card back on

This thread is fairly out of date now. The biggest change is the interior which doesn't look very sleeper like now apart from the seat of death.

Full safety devices cage by the request of concerned parents.

And one for SMO now Thought I should get some of the rust removal done before winter kicks off, I will probably leave the other side till next year some time as it is not as bad.




Just got to hope it doesn't come back in 2 weeks. I also bought a full waxoylspray kit so I can try and stop the insides from progressing too quickly badly.

that looked difficult to cut out, good job

[hb69]

Boys got skills

[Rs Adz]

looks a very nice clean track car/sleeper

[Smo]

Far too clean...

[Smo]

And that is indeed a seat of death! So much fun, though

[dontpannic]

the seat of death.

Legend.

Looking good Mark!

[MB7201]

Any update on the beast of a fez?
Nice Bm!!

[MB7201]

Thanks, nothing is happening of recent. The bmw is in the way at the moment taking up my time (been working on it every weekend since last august). It's almost time to go around and sort the rust out again (front valance mainly) and sort the other lower rear arch out.I'm waiting for the summer for that though. Just coming round to show season again where it will be used again, I'm going ppc on the 19th so it will get it's first few track sessions of the year

[Tweek]

Is this the end of track sessions in the Fiesta?

[hb69]

Is this the end of track sessions in the Fiesta?

I asked the other day when is it going up for sale lol

[MB7201]

I'll still have the fiesta for show and track days. It's still loads quicker than the bmw, although it doesn't handle as well.

[jonyb4]

wow really? never would have thought that

[MB7201]

It's only a 1.9 although more powerfull that a 2.0 zetec as standard. With the series mods its rumored to be around 160bhp, but the weight is a bigger killer.

Anyway I might wash the car today, which would be the first one since before combe summer action day

[MB7201]

Went to a rolling road day with the sheriff today. The car was feeling a bit slow at ford fair so with this booked I checked the engine over and found a split in the inlet hose. I fixed that yesterday and this morning it was flying so in a good state.



Fueling


They said it looked generally good and it looked like it had v-tec at 4250rpm It's running a bit rich towards the top end dipping the power curve down.

[dontpannic]

Such an impressive result. The operator was smitten with it haha

[hb69]

Decided which one is coming to combe yet? You booked the hotel yet?

[dontpannic]

I'm going to book the hotel on Tuesday I think Henry, still haven't done it yet haha

[hb69]

Text Rhonda?

[dontpannic]

She'll sort me out don't worry.

[MB7201]

The operators seems to like it

Yeah I'll come up on the friday, most likely in the fiesta.

[hb69]

This sounds excellent, im hoping to find Graham again

[dontpannic]

[hb69]

Is that a KM bowling shirt your wearing?

[- Danny Boy -]

Decent power indeed! Very impressive

[jonyb4]

very nice mark, you'l have to remind me of your engine mods, as all i can remember is a GTi inlet and lightened flywheel


over 150lbs/ft??! christ!

[Excursion]

It's a 2.0, isn't it?

[MB7201]

Cheers nick.

The only mods are 4-1 manifold and exhaust, 2.0 focus inlet manifold and a cone filter (likely to be a hinderance where it is though). It has a lighter flywheel but I doubt that will affect the reading anyway.

[Smo]

It'll be your sexy little 4-1 doing most of that!

[MB7201]

I'd imagine so, the inlet is only guaranteeing it gets the standard power really.
