Yes mate i did.... Il catch you on msn and tell you mate

[Raymondo]

Looking good mate. About time you got boost

[TIL13R]

Well it has been a long time since i have been on here..... First of all i would like to say a massive thanks to JayRS as he was a top bloke helping me out gettting the car running. also a massive thanks to beefchops too for supplying me with an engine perfectly described in the ad.

Well update time.....!!

Managed to get the car running after massive amounts of problems with wrong CPS and boss's also the coil pack too... Finally all sorted with a swap of wire and she fired straight up

So everything sorted. Gave her a service, new tappets and she ran like a dream... I love Chatter So off i went to RS Central day....

Was a great show met a few faces and saw a good standard of fiesta's...

Then the trip home.... Was taking a gently trip home with my Dad and Mate both in ERST's when some chive in a chicken paxo.... was been a total C**K so decided to put him in his place... (red mist) After seen him off was a knocking nosie coming from the bottom end.... So limped car home totally Pi$$ed off!!

Next day decided to take the sump off and have a look see what was what.... So off come the sump only to see my worst nitemare..!! big end knocking...!! so took off the big end to see... No bearing...!! GREAT!
So pushed the piston up and there it was the 2 bearings together.... looked like a bit of tin foil...

Next was to measure the crank to see how bad the damage was... and surprise surprise it was fcuked....! would of needed as re grind to .75 (was already .5)

So the hunt began for either a crank or another engine.... After getting a few prices i took the decision to get another lump which i got from beefchops

So yet again DTR was having an engine change...!!! So bank holiday monday the engine was swapped....

Next show was FITP.... Spent a good few hours washing and cleaning and what i thought was a good show... Saw more old faces and had a good laugh...

As a mate of mine wanted a few pics of his car we decided to have a bit of a photo shoot...

So here are a few pics of the car as she stands now

Thanks for reading



















and finally my fav pic.....



Cheers

your welcome mate.

bummer about the engine mate, but at least you got it sorted quick smart

looking great btw.

ive been toying with getting wind deflectors for years and its only since giving up smoking ive decided that i will get some, although the main point of them for me (smoking while driving) is no linger there , but they look good, and suit your motor well mate

[Smo]

[TIL13R]

Well after doing a few more bits and pieces and going down to TOTD with my mate i came to the decision that the Turbo has given up the ghost...

So a quick call to a Local Company and they sent me a new Turbo...

Il let the pics do the talking....



















As you can see its a Turbo Technics T3, I decided to go for the Stg3 to hopefully match my headwork and internal work once compelte...

I have a question tho... I would like to get my Manifold Painted/ceramic coated but have no idea where to get is done...?? HELP...

Please feel free to comment... as normal...

i want to go to stage 3 next year as im on t2 at the moment. How much was the t3 matey?

love your rs by the way. Looked the nuts at fitp

[TIL13R]

Well as i havent updated the thread for quite a while i thought it was about time i did....

I have purchased another set of wheels....



Also instaled my dials.....





Everything was running smoothly i was in the process of talking to TOTD on getting the car set up fueling all sorted when out of no where... the car was making a tapping nosie, So took the decision to whip the rocker cover off and have a look, found that one of the tappets had failed... so replaced them for only to start the car back up with the same tapping happening, fitted the guages and see that we had oil pressure so that seemed fine...

After talking to a few people it is common for the cam to fail once a tappet goes... So my mate had a spare cam so i changed that over and then..... NOUT... Typical,

A mate of mine said to take it to his garage so he can have a listen and a look at it so thats what i did... Limped the car on its way over but as soon as the oil got hot the pressure dropped right off so much as on idle the oil pressure light was flickerling...!!!

Got the car home in the end and just put it back in the garage...

Time to think about rebuilding the old 2i Lump like i planned but alot sooner than i thought....! Gutted....

Anyway here are a few pics of the car with the new 'Track' Wheels fitted...









As always please feel free to comment

alot cars like scobbies etc but i so needed skinnyer wheels to chuck in to tight corners something like 7.5 max width or even 8s to strech it wud be gud and in 15s sometimes wide wheels on a fezz isnt the best in throwing into corners cuz of the offset and wheel size..

i also love urr... gauge holder i like sexy time lol where did u get that from ? if u dont mind me asking ?

im just so into my golf now in track events aswell i done 3 in the golf and its done so so well better than the fezzy just lacks in power 160bhp max fezzy just sits there alone lol i miss 280bhp l wonder what its like ....

Yea so far the wheels done seem too bad, still got my coilovers to fit yet too....! I havent had much keep up in the tight stuff yet tho.. that includes my mates Scooby...!

I cant remember where i got it i think it was from here... but i do remember a group but on them on the forum either come in carbon effect or satin black i think..

I have always loved the look of your car... What Brakes you running on it at the minute...?

[Xr_Dub]

focus st170 brakes and calipers 305mm with ebc green stuff pads and dot 5.1 fluid does the job for the power i have...

[jayrs]

hope you get the lump sorted out mate.

as for wheels, have to say, i dis like them on your car, other wheels made your car and looked far better imo mate

[Ram]

new wheels look awsome. really work well on the black. sh*tter bout the engine mate

[BC DEVILLE]

Like the wheels but think your old wheels suited the car better. s**t about the engine but brand new turbo and a rebuilt engine.It should run like a dream whens its done

[zoom180]

wow! car is looking beautiful

[rsonblackwheels]

awesome wheels dude

shame about the lump giving up

fantastic looking fiesta, very cool

[TIL13R]

Hello all...

Its been a long long time since i have updated this thread and thought i would keep it a bit fresh...

Basically once i put the Stg 3 T3 on it was just down hill from there losing oil pressure... so decided to just take it off the road and start a new engine rebuild set up for hard fast road and track abuse..

Spec i am thinking of going for...

Forged Pistons and rods
Stg 3 head (already got)
Stg3 T3 (already got)
Cam and solid lifters
Uprated injectors (beiges max out @ 200bhp) So not sure there
Omex 600
Paddle Clutch
Front mount (already got)

Basically want engine built to handle 250bhp+ but run a safe 220/230 bhp

Here are a few pics as the car stands now....









I will be at most of the shows this year in my RS2000 Would be good to see a few old faces and maybe a few new ones...

Cheers
