Love it mate, real nice! Idon't actually like that colour paired with stock rims, but that looks spot on.

The bad paint match where it's been de-locked detracts from it a bit though.

cheers guys :) ...

mark could be the fact that the car hasn't been finished off :rolleyes: :oooh: theres a touch of overspray in 1 or two places jamie didn't manage to give the car a buff or anything after the painted it and i needed the car he hasn't had the chance yet to finish it off :( my fault i suppose...

but gonna get him to check a couple of bits on it soon so will get him to sort it all then.

Right all you brown nosing f*ckers you can stop bigging up the Bender and actually relalise its driven by a Homo!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Just kidding


Rims look nice Ad but I must say with the standard front and rear arches it makes the doors look odd as in they dont look like they match up but thats because the picture is taken at an angle


The suspension set - up sounds top notch and the wheels look good (I personally would have them in Anthracite) Keep the clear side and fronts as amber just looks gash and far too standard for a semi modded car!


Keep up the good work you F*cktard :lol: :D

hiya guys and girls, some of you may have realised i'd not been on much this is due to being real busy, the cossie has beenb playing up so been trying to fix it, been on my hols and working loads :o ...

well now the fiesta is coming on [ERRR] be on the road v soon goin tues to get the final runing bits sorted then its off for MOT :)

but here are some pics of the cossie today and some updates of it....

ok heres for whats been going on with it had a few sensors replaced due to playing up, i am now booking the car in for the autronic management in aug :) ... meantime the car will be fitted up with a foam filled std tank with uprated 023 pump and braided line.... also the best idea is to upgrade the fuel pump wiring so i have fitted the car up with a new relay wiring system... also bought a big wing sump for the size's and i have a new sump off to A+H for big winging then will sell the one i bought :) .... also aquired a small turbo head which is going off to a good friend who builds rally engine who is going to flow the head hugely for me :D ...

got a spec R grp A breather system coming too :aviator:

peace out Ad xx :D

Finally, a photo that makes the car look as good as I think it is! (Top pic ;) ) Looks very nice indeed :) Is it running properly now with the new sensors? You didn't say :-? And which sensors have you had replaced now? Which sensor proved to be causing the probs?

i replaced the lambda sensor first that made no major change so i spoke to mark shread he mentioned the air flow meter so i swapped that for a new one and it ran better :) .. so i then decided to remove the ecu to try to reset it, plugged it back in after a bit and let it get used to the sensors, current situ its running as it used to but is still a touch out idleing huge improvement tho the problem cud be the plugs tho as i have removed the type i had in b4 and threw them out and replaced them with NGK ones but i think the car runs better on the motorcraft items :rolleyes: ...

will see how she goes for a bit but just to be certain its not the fuel pump i'll be replacing the fuel filter and fitting my new tank asap, that [ERRR] then be good for 500bhp :) but i also have plans in the near future to replace all the fuel lines for braided and to run a swirl pot with a 044 pump too just to keep things nice and pressureised :D

as mentioned tho i am saving for the management change its much needed now i think due to these sort of problems :( so i shall book it in start of august but i need to sell my sm2 first as i am going for a different ecu as its easier for me to use on my engine :)

to be continued... :bonkers:

Isn't it running at 300bhp or so at the moment? Biiiiiiig step up if you're looking at passing 350/400bhp as you know! :o I hope you're selling those fish like there's no tomorrow for a new turbo and the infamous Cossie transmission overhaul! :bonkers:

unsure on boost tbh james :oooh: mark just told me to get a good T34 with a .48 housing and he can get a strong 340-350bhp, i juts dont want my gearbox to fall out tho :rolleyes: ...

chances are my clutch will fry anyway :( so will have to run low boost till i get one :oooh: thats if i haven't got a uprated one in there :-? there was a recipt for a AP one but unsure if its still in there :-? ...

i'll wait and see :)
