Here it is, had it away but not realy looked after it, so i bought some RS alloys and ive decided im going to clean it up and keep it nice even though its only for 2 and from work. Im going to keep it cheap as possible using what i have from my previous SI to make it sweet.

Going to fit my 150bhp 1.8 rs zetec engine out of my cosi project as my 1.6 engine had nakerd valve stem seals so that will solve the smoke problem nicly :top:

Also want to get my hands on a chear Turbo body kit i can stick on to finish the rs theme and to make use of my Genuine turbo bonnet of my old si :top:



it stayd like that for awhile only difference was the tsw wheels

crap pic but



then i got these new wheels on saturday



much improvement over the tsws



one fitted, god i hate changing shocks with rust bolts :wall:



all four done now this is how she is sitting now :top: not a supercar but not bad for a work car :top:



unfortunatly since then ive had to take of my lowering springs as the tyres rubbed to much, going to look into getting my arch's rolled and ill try again/get [ERRR] tyres, doesnt look the same atm

took the 1.6 out and replaced it with the 1.8 as the 1.6 was burning oil.
sorry about the poor pics it gets dark to soon these days

engine out, was such a ball ache





cleaned up the 1.8 (has a new rocker cover on, also waiting on more engine parts , its nout spesh just a cleanup while it was out



fitted a new cat convertor, centre section, rear section, filters and did a engine flush etc so shes running sweet

all i have to do is fit the turbo brakes, fit the matching ecu and chip then im going to send her to get serviced/checked over

oh and fiesta turbo bumpers on there way to go with my bonnet of my previous fiesta

should look good when done

bit of a update not updated in awhile, its only making slow progress as i realy cba with it as i need to focus on my escort but i keep spending money on it...

Going down the track car route so ill get my use out of her doing the odd few laps around tracks.

So i bought this:

Ford puma racing seat + sparco 3point harness



Couldnt find a matching seat then these came up =D

Got them for a steal! just need a clean up and my name being stiched in,







got a few more bits but no pics, will get it done and get some proper pics, these pics are a bit crap


Sorry if it doesnt all make sence its been copied from another forum

at the seats!

how much were they if you dont mind me asking?

[Turboboy67]

Somebody mention Carbon !!!

Looking good fella, love those seats as well

I might get one later in the year

[McGoo 69]

seats were just over £400 for the both of them! not bad considering i paid £160 for the Puma seat!

Got some more carbon coming to, and a few tricks up my sleave, think im going to join the race for the most anorexic fiesta haha

[McGoo 69]

bit of a update.

Painted some parts:

Bumpers and bonnet, the bonnet caught some overspary while i was painting the bumpers so its a bit "dusty" hopefully when ive flattend the laquer and polished it it will look spot on





more carbon!! battery cover, pod holder and viper induction (took the shouty red anodizing of and painted it mallard green )



RS Crossover ,much better than the turbo one as well... it aint turbo haha



Also got hold of these which a rare as fook, alot of bmw drivers cant get hold of them, but my mate works for bmw so got them for free, either that or they were being binned!!! sell for about £140 on pistonheads im lead to belive!

bmw m3 csl bumper splitters





which way do you recon looks the best?

[m3matt]

cars looking awsome mate, love the wheels, i wna see what you do with those carbon splitters.....FISRT dibs if you want rid of em!!!!!!

[McGoo 69]

bought a selection of parts this weekend from demon tweeks. seat brackets, samcos, for my forced induction and another harness.

I took the seats appart you "unpluck" the driver names from the sparcos and i gave them a wash to freshen them up. Got the covers back on fitted them to the car and stripped out the rest of interior this weekend.

Still have my parcel shelf with the 6x9s as i am ordering carbon door cards and vibe kevlar speakers so i can still listen to music on the way to work

Orderd a few more bits but will have to wait and see, its looking like now though

[jonosi]

looks good so far mate

keep the pics coming

[McGoo 69]

few more pics of some bits ive got, not showing of the sparcos just yet

cult power chip



rpm + vacuum peak guages







and a focus rs rocker cover, didnt know they were plastic though

[Ram]

looks like its gonna be a fun daily runner

i too was shocked when i lifted my mates bonnet on his frs and tapped the rocker to find it was plastic! he says its for weight saving lol

[Andyfloss03]

ooo few nice looking things...i really want a back bumper like tht one from your first car

[rsonblackwheels]

very cool project

love the carbon bits

[snakeyjake]

Looks nice. Like the wheels much better then the tsw wheels.When will u get those arches rolled?

[McGoo 69]

thanks for the comments so far

ooo few nice looking things...i really want a back bumper like tht one from your first car

its a mk4 zetec s bumper

[McGoo 69]

been messing a bit today and test fitted the m3 splitters

whats your opinions on these?

[m3matt]

quite like em mate! deffo goes with the theme of the car

[McGoo 69]

im not too sure yet tbh, dont think they fit right.

done some more work today.

sorted out my engine bay, nout fancy but looks smart imo, had to do a bodge with the samcos as its all demon tweeks had in but it will do. Also had to move the battery behind my seat as the induction took up too much room. The position of the battery is only tempory. Any have any better ideas where to put it or what battery to get?

I also fitted a 2.0 mondeo maf so its reving abit higher atm, does anyone know how to tweek it?





Funnel, i know it looks gay but i put it there as im not keen on taking out a fog light and i couldnt get the pipe to go in the centre of the bumper where theres a gap for a intercooler as it was too tight. on the plus side i have a spare funnel that has been painted the same colour as my car so hopefully it wont be as obvious. Still function over looks eh



where the battery is atm



now the moment you have all been waiting for.....

















CARBON FIBRE SPARCOS!!!!

[Ollybee]

Looks nice. Liking the cam cover and crossover pipe.

[McGoo 69]

yeh its getting there

im going to stip out the sound proofing and carpet and replace it with the thin acustic carpet to see if that quiten's down the cab as i still drive it to work everyday, if it doesnt ill just rip it out again

also getting carbon fibre door cars and playing with other carbon fibre ideas.

going to get a spare dash and trim it.

its coming together tho.. slowly lol

[lowsi]

i did the same with my battery, except i only got as far as the passenger footwell

coming along nicely dude

[MattPym]

Looks savage, Not sure about the cold air feed though

[Turboboy67]

I love those seats

Sell them to me please

[McGoo 69]

[McGoo 69]

will upload pics inabit for those who are intrested

[McGoo 69]

see what intrest these pics gain

car faild on quite minor things, corroded brake lines, head light fixing snapped, wheel bearing etc nout major

so i decided to strip the whole lot and get it buftyish

petrol tank has come off, so has rear beam being painted up to prevent further rust

how my car stands now



decided to clean the underside and hammerite the lot!





pics dont do it much justice, ill get some more pics when i get it up a ramp

i also had these pi shocks what i had on my escort mk5, i think there the same fitment although the oil might be slightly heavier but im willing to give them a try till i get my coilovers in a few weeks



striped



painted, again only hammerite but 20x better than before



also stripped out all the soundproofing.... what a crap job that was





now onto the parts ive collected

area 6 wish bones brand new 72quid bargin!





Euro lights from germany



smoked sides to match, still trying to get front indicators in smoke if anyone can help?



Mongoose s/s straight through exhaust + flexi





4 branch manifold to go with



blue exhaust wrap to match my samcos



perspex windows



just gotta try to find a way to lock the sliding window, if not ill get a new peice of perspex to bolt over when not needed



track wheels





also polysport exhaust mounts, rear anti rollbar mounts and omp bonnet pins.

got given the bonnet pins and anti rollbar mounts of a lad up the road who used to have a track fiesta so thats pritty cool.. if anyone has 2 spare arb bush's (the orange ones) please let me know and i can do a twin anti roll bar conversion
