Very nice set-up you've chosen Shaun that should give ultimate reliability with bags of fun

Exactly what I'm after mate , Makes me laugh at track days when guys with huge horsepower go flying past you, then only to see them do a few laps before something breaks

So bhp wise I should be looking at around 165ish until the next stage of head and cam upgrades.

But its the noise I'm really looking forward to

Been out this morning and stripped a few parts off the 2.0 ready for painting,

I'm sorting a baffled sump out through a mate of Heemans,

Ordering a rather nice exhaust manifold within the next week or so as well.

Really want to push on with this now as I want to see some track time with this set up later in the year

[Brammer]

Great stuff, with the car breathing perfect and a set of correct cams you'll be jammed up the rs end of many a turbocharged car

[McGoo 69]

very nice bit of kit there

hopefully when mines finished ill be tailing you around some tracks haha

[MarkRS2K]

so no longer a budget track fez then

look forward to hearing the tb

[RS rob]

definutely got carried away with this one have'nt you lol

[Turboboy67]

More progress today guys

Front polycarbs with sliders are in, as are the rear side ones,

I bought a full set off of Luke so fitted all but the rear one as they were the same.



One small problem was Luke is only a fair weather driver
and decided to cut some vent holes in the rear sides, you can also see the hole for the Pro-Alloy fuel cell which will be fitted soon.



Because I drive my car in (virtually) all weathers,
I needed to sort a way of stopping the rain coming in through the holes.
I left the protective film on so it could been seen easier



Then drilled and bolted it in place, can be removed in a couple of minutes when needed



Also made one for the other side and one for the fuel filler hole.

this is what I removed



Which I'm going to put on E-bay later tonight

Also painted my rear bonnet pins black as they were chrome and stuck out like a sore thumb



And one more, a quick roof shot



So next week, I'm painting the 2.0l block and getting a few bits ordered for it,
so over the next few weeks it will be slowly put together awaiting the transplant

So this is now how it will be for FITP

[MarkRS2K]

nice budget track car... come a very long way

[rs-tom]

u must have unlimited money lol

[Turboboy67]

Mark, the budget went out the window a Looooooooong time ago

Tom, Its my hobby/passion, I do have a limit, but I keep going beyond it

This time next year, hopefully it will be finished

[McGoo 69]

looking good here as usual!! i wish youd stop spending as its making me want more for my track car! you have set the standerd and its costing me a hole in the arse to follow suit!



oh yeh p.s

Looking good Shaun. I wouldn't mind some poly carb windows....maybe something to think about.

He will be selling the bonnet soon I'm sure.

[Minstral]

Looks so good can't wait to see it at FITP

[Ram]

this cars is looking so mean

[luca]

TOP TOP TOP WORK mate loving it

[hb69]

I saw a rallycross car today and thought of you. The doors on it were locked by a pin at the top, they dont have door catches. I dont know if they are a good idea, the door catches might weigh a bit though.

your probably best of having a s**t beofre you race llama

[rsonblackwheels]

very cool

love the windows

[Captain Tightpants]

Are you not having a servo mate? Do you know if it's MS1, or MSII?

Steve

[Turboboy67]

Steve

Keeping the servo Steve, Its V3.3 fella

[Captain Tightpants]

Cool, I just couldn't see a take off on the manifold.

V3.3 is just the PCB bud. The CPU is either V1 or V2. Open the top cover and post a pic dude.

Steve

[Turboboy67]

Hope you can see what you need to fella

[Smo]

MS-1

[Turboboy67]

MS-1

How do you know?

and can somebody give me a quick lesson on all this please

What the difference between the 2, advantages/disadvantages etc.

[Andy299]

ms-1 is where you can see the big black chip in the center of the board.

ms-2 is where ther is a piggy back board with a chip on that connects to where the big black chip is

[Captain Tightpants]

As Smo says, MS1.

The MS1 was the earlier cpu. The later ones have a few more features/faster fuelling control has 100 times more resolution on the MSII. http://www.megamanual.com/ms2/index.htm

Don't know what you were told, but thats an early PCB too. V2.2

Steve

[Turboboy67]

Thats E-bay for you

I see I can upgrade for about £50 to the MS11, thats gotta be worth doing.

Is it possible/worth upgrading the pcb as well guys? if so what the advantages of doing that?

Oh, and I hope you and Jimbo are up to speed on all this Steve because I'm bringing it to you to map for me

[Captain Tightpants]

Probably not worth upgrading to MSII unless you go fot the V3 pcb. New ECU time. I would suggest using what you have initially. Has this actually run on anything mate?

Jims the Mapper, if you need to talk laptops and numbers he's your boy!

Anything else, I can have your babies.

Love you,

Biros

No, never been run, its all brand new fella, OK I will stick with this initially then go from there, thanks for the advice fella,
theres a big kiss coming your way next time we meet

[Turboboy67]

So, on we go........

I have prept. and painted one side of the engine block tonight, tomorrow night I will do the other side and give the first side another coat

Im changing the sump to a baffled one and having the Rocker cover powder coated Blue

So they will look quite nice me thinks

How it started



After an hour of prep work, the first coat



This is the other side



Will look better tomorrow evening

[Smo]

Good stuff, Shaun

We need more Fiesta track cars like this

[Tweek]

So, is this one going to FITP or JNE? or both?

[snakeyjake]

yea me thinks i should take jne polycarb windows look good

[Project_XR2i_Trackcar]

Shaun - windows?

I see you bought lukes from him, what did you do with the other ones you had?

[garyhurn77]

at last i hope to see it in and running by the time i return from mexico mate get cracking..... only 22 days to go

only joking that is a bit un realistic (even though you do speed through jobs like noe tomorrow), however any progress is good progress

165bhp should be excellent fun

[Turboboy67]

Probably be taking this one to FITP, so Jake needs to bring some ear plugs with him

Polycarbs I've already taken a deposit on fella sorry

JNE is due a good polishing session and I havn't no time atm.

Gary, You never know mate but its unlikely as I have just booked 3 sessions at the Classic action day @ Combe in June so, I'm looking at late July for the swap over after the RS Day @ Combe in early July

Just getting as much done as possible for it atm.

I'm not painting the other side of the block tonight, I'm off out on a bike ride
But it will be done over the weekend
