track day with subs and amps and seats and interior , i dont think so

[THEHOG~]

yea i am have decided to make the perfect balance between a track car and a every day car some say it cannot be done some agree with me so my plan is to fit the interior on quick release clips so they can be removed quickly and to keep weight down i am not runnig a sub and have decided to get rid to keep weight down and instaed am running the fli speakers that are in place and then hookin the 6x9 and the door card fli speakers i have to my fli amp and i will mount the speakers to a stealth shelf and the amp the the back of the back seats so it will all come out easy.

and i am going to bye more exterior pannals like wider bolt on arches for the wheel base and a new bonnet so i can chop it back and put vents in to keep temps down and new bumpers so i can get more vents in that and a splitter things like that also i am going to use aero flush fitting lockable bonnet pins on the bonnet and bumpers.

so i doing this the day before the track i can switch all the pannals over and go from my standard fiesta to my track fiesta.

so i have my plan now and i am sticking with it i am real hyped to see were this goes but it will be a long road till the fineshed product is here but i am making it my mission to keep work flowing on the fez finish the girlfreind to save cash stop talking to familly to avoid paying b days and x mas anything it takes i will do hahahahhahahahaha

xr2irhys i'm not running a sub box save on the waight

HCS PIMP did u fit the central locking to the car or was it standard as i wont to delock the doors and i need to know what type of central locking is in the car is it an aftermarket or taken from another ford just so i know if i will have to replace the kit to fit the remote locking cheers

[jayrs]

si's came with c/l from standard mate so its gunna be standard ford stuff fella

[THEHOG~]

a so i may have to replace it all to get it to open by remote unless i could use a part from anther ford with my locking system to make it open by the remote any ideas any 1

[jayrs]

what

if you have a alram fitted then the locking and unlocking can be done by that, if you dont then you can buy remote kits that connect up.

binning the ford stuff in favour for these cheap things off ebay is not a good idea, as your still be in the same boat

If only! My fiesta si didn't come with electric pack

[jayrs]

you must of had a 1.4 one then
most did come with the electric pack but after a given year they all came with it

[- Danny Boy -]

yea i think from M reg (95) it came will all eleccy stuff, my 1.3 which is 95 on M has all eleccy stuff

[HCS PIMP]

has the ford stuff but as i said to you the wires are behind the speedo so you'll see the wires if u take the speedo out theres 2 chrim connectors with one white and one yellow cable so yeh u can delock with ford stuff lol

why u sticking wiht fli stiff u only liked the 10cm speaker the car already had

[THEHOG~]

well i had a fli setup off my old car so i decided to keep the 1ns that were in the car and run 6x9's and another set of the small speakers off my amp but am thinking about swapping the door speakers for a sub box i may keep my twin 16in sub box but it is a bit big so i am thinking of taking out the 16in speakers and placing them in a stealth shelf but i dont know may be a bit OTT for me lol

Not much to report credit crunch is kicking my ass at the mo lol.
Gave her a good t cut session and gave her a shampoo and she came up spanking and i hadnt even polished her yet.

Also my omp steering wheel came along with my snap off kit and hub.
Fitted it all up and the hub was the wrong 1 so sent that back and awaiting the correct one.

lookin good glad i sold it to a good owner if u ever need the weel redoing it appliance gloss from halfords did them myslef p.s rocker cover looks tons btter

even happer to see that the coolant hasnt dropped and still looks a lovely pink costs more but better coolant

[THEHOG~]

a dont worry m8 he or she is in good hands i havent decided on a name 4 him or her yet lol i am taking it slow with her at the mo wi the crunch fukin up the jobs lol but i am goin to adress a few issues with the clutch i think it needs a new cable and throttle respons plans are mondeo tb ashely 4 branch manifold and basicly a componant clean maf sesor k&n injectors stuff like that and after all that it should run ping on for a good while and in that time i have decided i am going to slowly start building a zetec turbo just to the basic spec till fends permit more tuning so i will keep u tuned

[THEHOG~]

also decided to ditch all the sound system in the persiute of weight saving and plus i rather have the sound of that engine reving up over a bassed up boom any day lol

[HCS PIMP]

has 2.0 tb and the maf has been cleaned did fook all needs a new one from the scrappy really as for the exhuast manifold would free a few ponies more would be gained from throttle bodies

[THEHOG~]

bad news for my fez today (dont worry i havent crashed it lol ) but it is of the road as i jumped into it today and it was totally undrivable really unsettled thruw the revs wonts to pull dosnt wont to pull goes crazy then goes flat i have replaced the spark plaugs leads and unplugged the maf still no change i have had issues with smooth pull thruw the rev range before but its largly to do with the maf and clutch cable and the 1.6 manifold didnt help but this has to be somthing difernt maybe some wiring has been friged of a plug loose some were but i have exsasted my brains all day looked and looked i cannot see anthing tomorow i am goin to take out the wiring loom and check every cm of it and the ecu also as i have had problems with wiring looms and ecu's before but never with a ford i havent made any more mods to throw out the engines sync like wakin mods in wi out a chip to bring it together so i cannot under stand it hopfully tomorrow will have some answears i hope lol also i have tried all the filters and stuff for blocks nothing all clean and fine

[THEHOG~]

also i now have a new adition to the family and most important protecter of the fez and that is my new pup zues he is a healthy rotwieler pup i have had him since he was 2 weeks old and now he is 15 weeks and growing stupidly fast and pritty soon is going into private police training to be an attack dog also he has the pefect temperment loving afectinet and at the same time he is far from soft as fuk he also is ping on with nouises so thiefs bewere [ERRR] my car aint goin no were as long as he here lol


this a pic of him at 14 weeks and in the space of a weeks he has grown more tllin u packin on the meat grrrrrrrrrr

[THEHOG~]

found the fault today was a roasted wire in the loom sourted it now runs fine but i am goin'g to have to adress heat issue's in the engine bay and wire organasition so i'm going to tidy all wiring up make sure it's took'd safe away to stop any wires gettin melted again and also i think i will cover all wires with heat sheath and thermo tape to stop wires gettin burned as i am plannig a street track female provider of 'horizontal refreshment' so the sheath should be a big help under hard use will post some pics when the parts get delivered and i have fitted them

[HCS PIMP]

guttted about the wirring for intrest was it the air temp wire as i had always though the random days when it would be silly chuggin down to the maf sensor as after it was driven at 5k rpm it would jump to life again obviosuly was resistance

[THEHOG~]

ow your still rite m8 the chuggin is still there just not as bad now the burn was further up in the loom so i will heve to trace the wire to find out wot it affected but works just as before now i just need to get my self to the local ford brakers to get a new maf and itle be sound.

I have had this before i mean a big engine in a small bay like that and its bount to happen and the clips that hold the loom are not up to much with how stiff the car is soon as it thuds the wireing was just falling out the clips so i have ordered new fixings and 3 metters of heat sheath and a few rolls of thermo tape.
As its happend this time its bount to happen when it hits the track and the temps really rise so will do a load of good to do it.

also ordered some goodrich brake lines too they were despaced today so should be here soon

[HCS PIMP]

not bad just fitted 2 pots on the mini its tons better now i just need to get the trackin right now thats tomorows task and alot of pictures

[Dave G fsi]

cars looking good mate. Glad to hear you got the running issues sorted

[THEHOG~]

Got my hub today and still the wrong 1 fits ok but the wheel wont sit straight on it so cut a new palte and welded it to the hub sourted.





Also rally designe sent my goodrich hose's and heat sheath. $
So will get about putting them in thruw this week somtime when a get new fluid and a bleeder.

[THEHOG~]

started to develop a knocking noise from the gear box and its worrying me a bit.
also clutch is a bit stiff and is somtimes hard to engage into gear going to get some ramps and investigate further.
hope its not a frigged box as i dont think i can afford a new 1 but if it is i think a IB5 box will be put in.

also still waiting on exhaust system

[HCS PIMP]

have u been doing some hard launches was fine for me even when dynoed doing 110mph could be that a 90bhp gearbox is strugglin with the extra power lol u could try getting a diesel or rs1800 box

[THEHOG~]

ow i wasnt sayin it had owt to do with when you had her (dont worry mr pimp i know i got a dam fine car lol ) i havent really launched it yet if i am honest.
but it could be somthing minor like the clutch cable as i have herd they are troblesome .

if the box was on its way out it wouldnt drive ok and when i lay into the pedal it still goes like stink but just it doesnt have the same snap as it did and i think it will get worse so all heavy driving is off the cards for the fez 4 now till a new box is found .

i have 2 options for boxe's as dalsy from fez si has helped me narow it down.
aceleration route
IB5 box with S2 RST LSD and RST crown wheel and pinion which has a 3.8 :1 final drive.

TOP SPEED
RST diff and Diesel MK4 box which has a final drive of 3.6:1 but i have to get that final drive checked 2 be sure.

so should be really intresting ither way looking forward to it .

u should check out that dalsy's fez track beast 1st spied it in performance ford a while a go and then found it on fez si love it hope to have mine like his 1 day here is a link if you wonna check it out i dont know if you have to signe up or not tho.

[HCS PIMP]

lol just read his thread and yeh the specs good but i dont have 2k to spend on brake suspension and engine lol or the bear would have been the same although id go with leda coilovers if i were rich they have separate resevoirs for the oil and dampning

[THEHOG~]

quick update.
still having troble with the clutch and gear box but i am still pulling 120mph so its still doing its job must be a bairing away or somthing.
so future mods are

1) mk4 fez diesel gear box
2) new clutch (maybe an upgraded item)
3)manual steering to replace the power steering (any 1 got an xr2i or another with manual steering wonna swap for power steering give me a shout)
4)15in rims
5)new upgraded starter moter

[HCS PIMP]

alll ready on 15"s and the starters strong just be the battery lol not enough cca

nope i thought the same till i noticed i was getting rub on the arches on real hard cournering and when the lift off over steer kicks in so i messured them to my surprise there 16in u wouldnt have thought it would you.

and the starter is fine its just that the ashaly manifold clashes with the zetec starter moter so i need to use a cvh 1 but for the gain in power save and power i am going to go for an upgraded item from rally sport they look nifty lil starter moter for the money

[HCS PIMP]

i bought the tyres the wheels are 15" and the tyres are 195 50 r15 you can get 195 45 15 and have more room i just love yokohama pradas
