Awesome car. I take it FF were using slightly presumptuous when writing that headline

[robp-tt]

Thanks mark yeh they where a little.when jamie wrote the feature the car was at devils waiting to be mapped so he put a estimated power figer in.the car is going back down to devils for the mapping to be finished then it will be making the power quoted.with the power its making so far it wont take much more boost to get it to 500 hopefully

Get some good videos if you can. I check YouTube now and then for decent ZT's but there aren't really many on there.

UPDATE TIME 1/1/14

its been a while since I have updated and a lot has happened since then, first was after I had the car mot'ed got a message from dan and Jamie from fast ford asking if they could do a feature on it to say I was over the moon was a understatement, I still had some bits to tidy up and tried to do all the little bits intime for the feature,but every thing came together just in time

the day the feature took place was one of the hottest days of the year and the only time I had driven the car since its mot, I had been looking for local places to do the shoot at leading up to the Friday of the shoot and thought I had found a good place so arranged to meet the photographer there. but when we all got there people had parked on the area that we where going to use so we had to have a look around the area for some where else to do the shoot, we could see loads of places that looked ideal but they where all behind the security gates for the docks,but on the off chance we drove down a little entrance to a mini industrial estate and found the perfect place,it was quiet/out of the way and looked great

here are a few of the photos that where taken on the day,

















once the photos where taken Jamie phoned me up and done an interview over the phone so he could do the write up,a massive thansks to Jamie and dan for sorting it all out and for such a good write up and for the tickets for ford fair0



when I was at the photo shoot I wasn't happy with how the car was running and knew it wouldn't like the drive down to devil devlopments for it to be mapped the following weekend so sent a few messages around to people and managed to have the car picked up the following day by Michael Clarke on his recovery truck,thanks again for sorting it at short notice





once the car was at devils it gave me a chance to holiday from the car and for lee and the guys down there to work there magic on it and get it running how it should and to map it, when the car was down there they had a few teething issues with the car like the tps sensor was faulty and needed changing for a new one(that would also explane why it run so rough when driving it) ,once they sorted it all out they made a start on the mapping,when it was there it was getting very close to ford fair and they run out of time so only done a low boost map so I could take the car to the show,i got the phone call to pick it up and arranged to pick it up the Saturday before ford fair,when I got there I was happy to see the car again and looked forward to driving it home, lee showed me the dyno graph on the computer and I was happy to see the power it was making on such low boost, it made 340bhp at 0.7 bar0 and once I have got some miles done in the car for me to take it back and they will add more boost,so hopefully with more boost it will be into the 500's 0, I would like to say a huge thanks to lee and the guys at devil devlopments for all there work and helping it be ready for me to take to ford fair. the drive home was great and the noise it makes on boost is 0



the next day after picking it up was ford fair and I had the great spot of being on the fast ford stand and parking mine next to lucas fiesta,had a little issue with the car getting a little hot in the traffic going into the show so needed to fit a bigger set of rad fans,but that's all sorted now,here are some photos from ford fair






after ford fair I hardly used the fiesta due to other things going on but had a call off dan asking if I wanted to be on the fast ford stand at trax so I wnet along to that, was surprised to see the amount of attention the car got there and was good to see how all the other car groups do things,the only down side to the show was when I left the car was running a little rough,thought it was because of the rain but it didn't clear so pulled over at the side of the road to take a look and see what was up and found someone had unplugged no1 injector so the car was only running on 30 0lucky I had a look before something went bang,


since the show I have driven the car quite a bit and as usual with a car build from a bare shell there have been a few teathing issues but all are sorted at the moment and as soon as the good weather comes back the car will be going back to devil devlopments for the mapping to be finished and then the track days will start, really looking forward to what this year brings with the fiesta


also the car is up for car of the year with fast ford so please can you vote for it 0

Bit of a late update. Thought I would do a update as its been so long since the last one, since the last update I have had some more mapping done at devil developments, the boost has been upped to 1.6bar and is now running 428bhp, the car feels loads stronger and like a animal on boost, I was hoping the car would have made closer too 500bhp but it seems the turbo was struggling a little, its only on a .48 exhaust housing so it was doing well to make what it did, alli would need would be a turbo change to get ove 500 but I dont want to be chasing numbers as the car is loads of fun at the moment.

I took the car to Ford fair and trax and both times it was on the fast ford stand ,here are some photos of it there






ive got a few plans for the car overthe winter like striping the gear box down as its a little noisey after a few hard drives and I've got a new dash to replace my pi systems 2 one and got a few bits to tidy up aswell

[FRSJON]

what dash you got rob?

[robp-tt]

Got a pi system 3 dash.not sure about using it though.still undecided

[robp-tt]

Time for a little update

I decided to go for the turbo change. I ordered a precision turbo 6266gen2.i was looking at all the usual ones like a garret gt3076 but didnt want to run a water cooled turbo because of the extra heat they give through my cooling system.i was recomended the 6266 by lee at devil developments and where its got ceramic roller bearings it dosnt need to be water cooled i have got the turbo all fitted now and just waiting on my new exhaust flange to be welded on to the down pipe. I have gone for a .63 exhaust housing and also have a .82 aswell just incase i need to change it and to see how much diffrence it would make aswell

[FRSJON]

looking good rob

[robp-tt]

Thanks jon booked it in for mapping now aswell so will be taxing it at the end of the month so i can use it for a few weeks before mapping

[robp-tt]

The car has been back at devil developments for more mapping after fitting the new turbo and here is the result from lee having a play with it. 518.6bhp going to pick the car up tommrrow and cant wait . huge thanks to lee at devils for mapping amd setting the engine up

[FRSJON]

over the moon for you rob well done

[Turboboy67]
