With your awesome fabrication skills couldn't you replace the piston ring with a bent paperclip or something?

I could but I have to hold back from time to time, I don't want Excursion crying down the phone cos I have stolen his thunder again.

Yeah, I bet he was well jealous of your skillz when you modded the strut brace.

[~S1~]

its only fudgekin working again!

Bet you're well chuffed, you can take it to the lodge now instead of some shonky old carbon-roofed M3

[~nomad~]

lmfao, only if I insure it and tax it in time. As I said earlier thou, M3 ain't run in and I aint bumbling around with only 375hp and 5.5k revs. lol

[Max M4X WW]

All these cars nearly done, you have such a choice lol

I've aquired a renault 19 today, we used it during the snow and is now redundant lol.

[~nomad~]

lol, yeah have the sort of choice of this s**t, m3, focus st, focus st170 or my e30. and the audi. mini runs now too

[knuckles]

[~nomad~]

[jonboisescort]

[~nomad~]

taxed, insured and ready to go, couple niggles sorted today, all being well it'll be at fitp

[~nomad~]

Brian has used it for a couple days, done 100ish miles, and seems to be running pretty well. Needed a CV boot replacing which was done this morning. Apperantly it has a slight knock when cornering, poss a cv or something catching. Other than that, all good so far!

[Turboboy67]

After seeing this over the last few days I love it, one of my favourite Fiestas atm,

So much fun for the money

Good work people

[~nomad~]

totally true, this car owes me less than half of less than a grand, and I have had all sorts of fun watching Brian struggle to keep the fucker running all weekend!

f**k driving it myself thou, tbh, alternater fell off on the way home apperantly. As far as I know Ryan is still stuck in Baldock services.

[Max M4X WW]

Some fine photos there

What was causing it not to start about halfway through the day?

[~nomad~]

turned out to be the little metal clip on the fuel pump plug being missing, causing plug to move about. lol

[~S1~]

Superb little car, the ride is amazing. Brian drove flat out all the way out of the road leading from the Lodge and it didnt bottom out once! Shame about the little niggles like 3 wheel nuts and driveshafts nuts not done up, loose alternator belts and dodgy fuel pump connections, but apart from that it was spot on!

[MotorcyclesFish]

I agree; I love this car's attitude although I would not get in it until an approved inspection body has presented me with some sort of safety cert.

[Smo]

Glad it's running now... Or kinda is

Is that the original 2.0, or did you replace it in the end?

Seriously? I managed to bottom it out several times lol

replaced that useless boat anchor with a 1.8 mate

[Smo]

Ah, that's good to know

[~nomad~]

got a ignition barrel from a Ka at scrappy and fitted it today, problem solved for a tenner

[Rhinopower]

Whilst were doing little updates, fitted a NES today and a cossie fuel pump, gonna wash it tomorrow too!

[Smo]

Awesome

[~nomad~]

and yes very randomly today we fitted a nes to the car
I used to have a massive retro game collection, and still have a few bits kicking around, decided a NES was a most suitable choice for this car. A funny gimmick at shows I guess

So Brian made a little box of tricks to convert car power to NES power (voodoo)



I repaired a faulty nes and hacked the glovebox up, to get NES in



and now you can play Mario in the Fiesta, which is why this car is better than yours:





Brian also fitted another frst pump to the tank, which superbly didn't work. This made me laugh, almost as much as watching my mate John stab his hand with a kitchen knife that was down the side of his sofa, this was about 6years ago so i digress, it was great though, we sang songs at him, in the style of James Bond theme tunes, the most obvious being "Johnny No-finger". I thought this was going to happen again last night, when he was chipping some ice with a butter knife, but sadly he avoided injury.

Anyway, after he removed the tank and pump again ( ) , he fitted a cossie pump we had kicking about. This seems to have sorted the hesitation, and hopefully the starting issue it had too. No pictures of this, because fuel pumps are not as interesting as NESs.

[Rhinopower]

CANT BELIEVE that i fitted a pump before testing it, but its all worked out for the best, old pump clearly couldn't deliver the vast amount of fuel the beastly 1.8 needs. I guess we should take it out on tuesday when im off for a good hammering and put it through its paces

[~nomad~]

yeah man, i have no plans for the day either so we can defo go for a play!

[Ruishy1]

that nes is THE best things ive seen fitted to a car

i bow down and worship your in-car console system
