Superb job there mate! If you don't mind saying, how much were the pistons and seals? I need to do the same to mine.

thanks mark the pistions where £110 for all 8 and the seal kit was £30 for both calipers,i have orderd the parts from part box performance,really easy to service aswell

thanks jon , think they look a little bit better than before, dont know waht to do with the square part where a badge should go , do i leave it empty or get a ford badge to go there or fit the original "4 pistion" badge there?

Little update

Thought i would do a little update. Haven't got any photos to show though. Today i made a start on rebuilding my gearbox. Its all ready to go back together just need to fit a new bearing race to the casing then i can seal it up and bolt it back up. I also got all the new parts for my callers so rebuilt them and just waiting on my bells to turn up and i also sorted a clutch kit out just need to have my flywheel skimmed. Will be having a really big update in the next week or so as i have bought a big part to the build and just waiting for it to be delivered got loads of motivation for the build at the moment but the weather is getting worse and need to move the car somewhere warm instead of the drive

[robp-tt]

UPDATE 15/10/12

got a nice update to do this time, not much done but busy collecting more parts for the build, managed to get my self a bargin dry sump kit off a very well known drag fiesta from hungry (thanks szabyk) havent had much of a chance to fit it yet but removed my oil pump to remove the gears out of it but need to block the oil gallery and chop the pump about so it fits in to the titan sump pan, i have hopefully worked out where i am going to fit the oil tank just need to put the engine back in so i can work out the hight of the tank

here are some photos of the kit and how much off the oil pump needs to be removed




dont need these any more


i also got the drive shafts and custom hubs off him aswell, think they will be more than up to the job because if they didnt brake running 9sec 1/4 miles with drag slicks i cant see me killing them



yesterday i managed to get my gearbox back together and sealed it all up




nextweekend ime hoping to have the sump all fitted and then i can refit the engine and make a start on getting it finished and running just need to get a gazabo to keep the weather off when working on the car

[FRSJON]

nice selection of parts

[robp-tt]

nice selection of parts

thanks jon, just need some time to put it all together, the end is in sight for this build but still too far away

[Rs Adz]

coming on nicely

[robp-tt]

UPDATE: 21/10/12



today i had a little play with the oil pump and chopped off the bits that where in the way of the sump pan fitting,

so after a bit of chopping and filing i ended up with this





and the bits that i didnt need





i then bolted it all to the engine to make sure it all fitted how it should









all i have left to do is blank off the oil feed part of the pump and i will be taking it to work next week to do that and then refit it all to the engine, hoping to have the engine back in the car in the next week or so then i can work out the hight of the oil tank and get that all fitted in place , hoping to see if i can have the car running by christmas :)

Brilliant, nice setup. Wish I was as handy with engines etc, would have saved me a lot of money.

cant wait to see this on a dyno great work rob

[robp-tt]

Thanks really cant wait to have it finished

I taped the oil feed hole in the pump and put a blank in it so now i can refit the pump and build it all back up

[rsonblackwheels]

nice progress, can't wait to see the engine back in

keep up the good work

[robp-tt]

nice progress, can't wait to see the engine back in

keep up the good work

thanks mate i cant wait to have it all back in either, feels like ime making some progres at the moment

[robp-tt]

UPDATE 28/10/12





another update after doing a little bit in the shed for the car,

after blocking the oil feed hole up on the oil pump i refitted the pump and bolted the sump on propely, once that was all on i retimed the engine and fitted every thing back on, just need to make a bracket for the idiler pully to replace the p/s pump and get a belt sorted, i wanted to get the engine back in the car today but it kept on raining so hopefully i can refit it next weekend instead













after i done that i sorted out my brakes, i got a set of custom disc bells made by mk motorsport (thanks again for those mark) and bolted my discs to them with new ap bolts (just need to torque them up) once the discs where complete i botled the caliper brackets to the hubs and bolted it all together to see if all my measurments where corect and they where spot on the caliper clears the back of the wheel by about 3mm so there is plenty of space













thats about it for todays update, i have a few days off next month so hoping to have all my brakes and new hubs and shafts fitted so i can make a start on getting the car running

[Excursion]

Awesome I love Mark's work, though I wish he'd be quicker with my parts:lol: Out of interest did you ask for gold anodising, or is that classed as yellow?

Would it be possible to get a full width belt for the dry sump pump?

yeh marks work is nice but he dose take ages, the bells took me 2months to get them but they where worth the wait, the anodising is ment to be orange and looks more orange in real life,i had to ask for the anodising otherwise they would have just been plain silver

i will be getting a new belt for the pump as the one i have is a little bit tatty

UPDATE 10/11/12



little update, had friday off work so decided to get some bits fitted to the car, also got the engine and box back in last weekend,



here are photos of the engine back in the car, was worried about the oil pump hitting the crossmember but there is loads of room there , the engine went in fairly easy













i also got my rad and intercooler back from gary aka crazycage(thanks again for doing it:), i had the top o/s pipe moved from the top to the bottom because the wastegate got in the way at the top, he also moved the lower rad pipe from the side to the top ad added some brackets for it to bolt to the intercooler







he also done a exhaust for me using a cossie rear box that i had











with my day off i fitted all my new ap's on and fitted the drive shafts, the dhafts fit spot on but where a nightmare to fit and think i need to modd the inner cv boots so they dont hit the support legs for the subframes













hopefully tommrrow i can mount the oil tank, i was going to have it behind the o/s headlight but there isnt enough room so have to mount it between the gearbox and crossmember on the n/s, got loads more photos but laptop is messing about so will upload them next update

[FRSJON]

coming on nicely rob i take it the exhaust is 3 inch? pm how much the main section cost please

[robp-tt]

thanks jon, seem to be getting somewhere with it at the moment, not sure on the exhaust price because i got a complete price off him for the work on the cooler adn some other bits aswell and yeh its a full 3 inch system

[Rs Adz]

coming on very well

[FRSJON]

ah ok mate no worries..bet the exhaust will be load

[jonyb4]

Holy s**t!

[robp-tt]

thanks every one

Yeh Jon the exhaust might be a little too noisy. Still unsure if i should have the wastegate going back in to the exhaust or have a screamer pipe?

[- Danny Boy -]

Awesome work! What an insane project

[robp-tt]

thought i would up load some more photos of the progres









wastegate through the o/s headlight









started to fit the lines and tank yesterday, just need to order two straight -12 ends and some p clips, dont take any notice of the cable ties,there just there untill i get proper clips

[jonyb4]

smoothing a VR6 splitter in is very different
