I know this is rich coming from me, but do you actually work?
You seem to spend every hour of every day doing someting to this car

The pleasures of being able to claim your pension

[j7aoc]

Like the manifold and down pipe must say No need to save for a cossy

[rsonblackwheels]

very cool, like the arty shot of the OMP wheel

i'm sure the tracks much more fun in the dry and my brakes even work properly now have to get back out there soon

very very nice mate

Cheers fella, seats are alot lighter, I would say about 4-5kg each

[luca]

Now i am getting concerned


Looked wicked mate and was going well on saturday.... you were out on that track more than the charity rides..

[Turboboy67]

I'm creeping closer and closer to the magic sub 800kg mate

Did 8 sessions in total, I was alot quicker on my own though ,

passengers do show up the lack of power tbh, but I enjoy taking them round,
hope you enjoyed your few laps mate.

Got to post this pic in my thread, thanks to Mixon for taking it



We were well matched in the corners, but he blasted past me on the start/finish straight

[Brammer]

Shaun this project is awesome, the detail and lenght's you've gone for a track car is great, can't wait to see it go round the track.

Great pic

[~nomad~]

looking good! puts mine completly to shame lol. But then mine is built to a actual budget, rather than a imaginary one

you thought about swisscheesing the doors and tailgate? Toying with it on mine, defo do the boot i think, might dothe doors once i have sorted the carbon cards to cover it!

[jayrs]

oh shaun has got a buget, it just has 5 figures

[Turboboy67]

It started out on a budget but now, I don't care really

I know where I'm going with it so not to bothered what it costs now tbh

I think I have spent around £4.5k on it, but that includes bits that have not been fitted yet,

i.e. CTS stage2+ gearbox, 2.0 silver top Zetec, throttle bodies/management, brand new carbon bonnet

Pro alloy fuel cell & adjustable lower arms which will all be done from this coming October,

other bits still to be bought will include braided fuel and brake lines, intercom

And the very final bit will be a freah coat of paint

[rsonblackwheels]

budget out the window then

but who cares when you have such good fun in it

very cool picture mate

[:: blade ::]

ooh cashback, looking good there mate, when you taking me out in it

[McGoo 69]

the seats look awesome mate glad your happy with them!

youll have to take me round the track sometime

[Turboboy67]

Cheers guys,

Everybody is welcome to a passenger ride,

make your way down to Castle Combe in September.

Yeah well chuffed with the seats Matt thanks,
need to make a better subframe for them as they are abit to far forward,
but I'm copying Lukes idea to mount them,
will be sorted for Ford Fair

[jayrs]

[Turboboy67]

Ask John what you missed

he was abit quiet going round

Always a seat for you mate

[jayrs]

would loved to of been there but i was working on the rs

[fiend]

Loving the project and car so far, wish I spent more time looking round it at FITP.

Just an idea to save abit more weight from the dash and bumpers..





..obviously there is loads more of the dash and bumpers you could cut out too, every little bit helps.

[Turboboy67]

Indeed fella, I got lots of plans for further weight saving over the coming months

Quick update then,

Brand new carbon fibre bonnet has been ordered

Sorry but my existing one is NOT for sale

Just finalising a deal to buy some very tasty Leda suspension

Engine is being sent off with the head next week for some "work"

Got my R888's fitted to my new MO track wheels

Cosworth front brake set up going on next week (I want the current set up for project standard )

[j7aoc]

Sound's cool

[Luke1990]

brand new carbon fibre bonnet has been ordered

I thought you already had 2 greedy sod.

[Turboboy67]

No, only got the one atm

I paid for the mould with Luke months ago, only this week have I actually paid for the bonnet, now just got to wait a week or so for them to make it for me

[Turboboy67]

First thing this morning I changed the brakes

from these which are now on Project standard



to these



Very simple job, you just need a few washers for spacers, and they bolt straight on.

side by side.



What they look like through the wheels, calipers will be painted at a later date



Should help me stop better round Silverstone next Sunday,

also ordered up my longer wheel studs today, went to fit my new track wheels yesterday and the rears were fouling the coilover springs

and the front were rubbing the inner arches, so spacers were also ordered.

Should be here on Tuesday, so they will be fitted on Tuesday evening.

Oh, and these should be with me later next week

[hb69]

Naughty

[jayrs]

[Turboboy67]

Still not taken the engine to my mate, spoke to him last night and it will be within the next 2 weeks

[jayrs]

nice mate, sounds like a right plan

[happypaul]

Coming along great

Inspiration for my RS1800, cant wait to get mine done track female provider of 'horizontal refreshment' style

On another note, we allowed to take passengers around the track at ford fair then?

[Max M4X WW]

Great brakes, What did you pay for the calipers? I need a pair for the mondeo!

[Turboboy67]

Great brakes, What did you pay for the calipers? I need a pair for the mondeo!

I got the calipers given me normally your talking £80 ish I would say

Paid £50 for the discs which are brand new

Paul, yeah passengers are allowed at Ford Fair, think its £10 (which should put Jayrs off )

[Max M4X WW]

Was going to say I wouldn't of bought fancy discs, But as they were cheap! I paid £25 for some standard discs, £32 for delphi pads and £50 for the calipers on my Mk3

[rs_fiesta]

Nice car this ,what pads are you running?

[Turboboy67]

I think they are EBC red stuff, will try them as they look fairly new,

Probably then uprade to DS3000s
