Here is an topic of my fiesta mk3 rs1800

I have this car now for about 1.5 years so i wont upload the complete story at once.

OK... here we go.

I had an ford escort 1.3 hcs where the engine almost broke down so she had to go.

Searching on the internet for an rs1800 I found 1 about 200 kilometers away which had an ruined head gasket.

After a couple of call’s and some pictures I went to this guy to see the car. It looked nice in a dark shed. LOL so I buyed the car and took it with me on a trailer.

(some pictures of the car at the seller)





















So when I was at home I pulled the engine apart. Not much pictures left











There were no service history so I ordered the complete service kit for the zetec.

Yes again pictures

After the parts arrived I started to rebuiled the engine yes on the street in the rain :banana:…

[pro2call]

So when the engine worked again and drove a week I noticed my tires are totally ruined.
So on the ramp to look what’s wrong. Well here is the list

2 wheel bearings almost gone
1 wheel hub
2 shock absorbers worn
1 wishbone gone

Replacing the hub and a bearing:

























So after we fixed this problems I noticed some wet feet in the car

So lets get discovering where the problems are…..so out came the dash and al the other parts (what was she quick)


















next update soon.....

[pro2call]

So here is an update this time I post it until today

After an while I was bored with the 130 Bhp…. So out came the exhaust and in came an complete Ashley system.









This was nice.. but to get all the performance out of the exhaust I needed an remap af the ecu. But I wanted later on more power. so I got an DTA System the S40







And after it was installed in the car I needed to go to the dyno…













So 158 Bhp and 190Nm torque.

After the hunger of more power keeps existing
So lets eBay for more stuff…. No no turbo but an supercharger something different ..
After a while the postman was here standing with an huge package…

Let’s check the inner parts of the unit









Everything looks good so lets build some bracket’s







And fit it in the car

So with the performance in the eye (275 bhp and 400Nm torque) I need an other gearbox. And ford is just like lego. So I bought an Focus 2002 ST170 6speed Gearbox with axels.







So lets build the biggest part of the complete setup
















My mate took this picture of me…..

So far this update this week more stripping the car and starting welding.

[pro2call]

Here is another update

Well we started with braking apart the whole car...

























Here started my mate doing some welding..











mean while i started hanging in an the engine with the 6Speed





Welding the gearbox mountings









My mate finished today with the upper gearbox mounting...













The blackbox you see is an Chargecooler from an 04 Focus RS Turbo

well.. more progress isn\'t here for so far

[pro2call]

This week started my mate with building an custom intake for the Zetec which going to house 8 injectors (2 small 1’s per cylinder for better mapping).

For the rest not so much to update the windscreen came out yesterday, the door’s came of, the skirt’s came of by angle grinder , and we modified the engine which came out for the Getrag MT285 gear box for the rest we were fixing my Fiesta2 for MOT…

We also discovert that we have lots of bodywork to do

[pro2call]

This time no big update….. srry about that

We modified the engine to accept the starter motor. And fixed an original flywheel, clutch and pressure plate.

We also made the sub frame fit the box…

We also build some kind of ramp for the shifter. So the shifter is closer and under an angle. Much easier to shift. (Yes we also mounted the shift cable’s)

And we made an plate for the charge cooler to stand on…. Further we where busy with removing the bitumen

[frostie]
