My rs never ending project
This is my thread of my mk 3 FRST project.
The car
I bort it off my partners mate in poor condition about 3 years ago. But he was flat broke and i paid over the odds for it live a mug to help him out.
The only thing that has not been tuched is the outter shell lucky enth a mounth befor i bort it a van drove in to the back of it, and on repire he done the right thing and had the hole car respraed. The bonnet paint was a bit flat so i had it flushed and re painted. It is dimond white with 40% blue perl
I painted the under neth and enging bay and had most parts that wasnt new powder coated. All new lights, window rubbers, door shuts and got a single wiper arm with the washer jets on the wiper blade.
The wheels
Same old same wheels (comps) in white 195/40/16 with good year egal F1.
In side.
I painted the inside as well and laid new sound deadning.
I have the OMP theme so i will just list the inside.
OMP half cage
OMP stering wheel
No ICE
walter injection tank
no seats yet or harnesses
OMP plumed in extinguisher
OMP hand held extinguisher
Mk 3.5 black dash
black carpet throw out
oil presher gage (ford racing)
Fule presher gage (ford racing)
Boost gage (ford racing)

There is all so a walter tank for the intercooler spray
A pall cord for the plumed in extinguisher in the spear wiper arm and there is one in the inside of the car.
The brakes and serspension
300mm hi specks 4 pots with bells in gold

Peddle box with twin master and home made braided hoses all round.
Pro flex bushes all round
GAZ coil overs
Front anty roll bar
Twin rear anty roll bars
Rose jointed front lower arms
Front and rear strut brases
The enging bay.
Little spec list
GRS oil brether one off
Mini K&N
Big K&N

Oil cooler
Remot oil filter
Walter injection pump
Pro alloy walter injection tank

Turbo smart 38mm ex wastegate
Single air injector
Titanium exhast rap for the down pipe and screemer pipe
Titanium turbo blanket
2.1 ZVH burton power enging

Re: My rs never ending project
looks nice mate
is that last hole out of line or is it just loose fitted on there?
and you have water outlet and water temp sensor in the inlet the wrong way round btw unless you have done it that way for a reason, but the water pipe to oil cooler wont fit with it like that

Non of the holes lined up mate or the ports had to fettle with the ports so that will flow better. I have sorted that missing bolt out as well tar.
Thank u about that walter pipe. I put a post up on passionford asking if that was right and no one gave me a stright antswer. But i dont spose it matters though as i have a seprat oil coller now.
