Little update.

Was driving around near my work the other day and realised there was no power and loads of noise it turned out the cat had totally gone bloacking the exhaust gasses from escaping so after a nice ride in a recovery truck i re-fitted my decat pipe and she sounds lovely now. The decat goes well wth the bluefin installed and i dont seem to have lost as much low down torque as i did without the bluefin.

getting a new set of front tyres asap as mine or on theyre last legs.

Oh and you can now expect to see me at fitp again this year. However i wont be showing my car this time. to be fair thaugh its nothing special so i'm sure noone will miss it lol.

Oh and will someone make me a new sig please as i'm really bored of the one i have and i'm s**t on photoshop lol. It would be much appriciated.

Nice, I've just swapped the front and back wheels due to a stupid amount of wear due to camber :O

Love the way you put "cat dead" in the title, I thought you'd hit a cat for a moment!

[jonyb4]

pimsle

[niracka]

Front bumper is already cracked from a fesent (spelt wrong I know)

If I got a quid for all the people who have said thay thaught i'd run my cat over or something I'd be quids in

[HCS PIMP]

[jonyb4]

A pidgeon once bounced off of my bonnet and flew away - made such a funny noise

[jonyb4]

lol

[niracka]

My mate hit a badger at 80 and needed a new bumper, rad and headlight lol

[niracka]

Right not been online for a while as I'v started my new career in the RAF but now I am in married quatres and will be online again finally

I'v just put the standard airbox back on my car because I get this dodgy missfire at low rpm with the k&n on and it seems to suffer from heat soak a little too. Now I am starting the welding fase of my engineering course I will be welding my OBX manifold up and getting that back on the car and that will be it for this motor I think as I am planning to replace it with a tdci mondy st in the next year or so (family car).

I am also now saving for a frst. Probably going to be looking to spend in the region of 1 - 1.5k on one that needs a little tlc and get it upto the standard i want over a few years or something depending on money ect.

Ollie

[mrorange2]

Nice to hear form you again mate. You wont be dissappointed with an Mondeo ST TDCI mate FANTASTIC car

[jonyb4]

i like how your thinking of the family AND yourself, cant stand it when a bloke just buys a family car and ditches all his past cars

ill be interested to see how the manifold gets welded up

[niracka]

Jony - mate there is no way in hell I am going to lose the will to live and buy a people carrier lol. The other option was an e39 530d msport lol. Good family car but also fast and comfortable. Probs gonna be the mondy thaugh as thats what the missis wants too lol.

Tim - good to hear from you too mate. Hows yours??? Have you chipped it or anything??

Ollie

Mine is great mate yeah its remapped at moment and decat will follow soon then maybe a bigger IC but they are GREAT cars but have there problems like injectors and egr valves to name a couple.

[niracka]

ah nice one man. What remap did u get on it? And does it remove the torque limit on first n second???

I take it ur enjoying the rs1800 too now then rather than the money pot that was ur frst???

ollie

I got a bluefin mate and yeah it takes the torque limiter off first and second.

The RS1800 is good mate but need a lot spending on it but i'm determined to finish this one.

[jonyb4]

agh you lucky get, two dream cars

well for me

altough tid prefer the mk2 mondeo

[niracka]

Tim - I have a bluefin for my focus anyways s I'l just send that off and get it reset to use on the mondy if thats the way I go.

I would like to see you finnish this one too mate as it was such a shame to see that frst go. The only pic I have of it was when i saw it sat in the back of that garage where they did that rolling road day we met at.

[niracka]

Well little update - I am this week going to be colourcoding my side strips finally. And also repairing a damaged sill on which at the front end the paint act had been totally smashed off (how that happened I havn't a clue).

Also good news - Since putting the old airbox back on my miles per galon have gone up and I am noticing better power once the engine is hot due to no heat soak I think. So all round a good change.

Ollie

[niracka]

Just thaugh't I should really get some pics up sometime really. Oh well when I'm done painting I'l smash some up lol.

Ollie

[jonyb4]

lol, i reread this the other night lol, wanted some tuning tips for a 1.8

[niracka]

Guys do you know what kind of double sided tape is best to use for putting my trim back on?? Preferably some super duper stuff so I only have to do it once.

Ollie

[jonyb4]

umm, could try and use some Ford interior rear view mirror sticky pads, about 50-80p each at the ford parts counter,

bloody awesome things i went through about 4 sets of other brands, bought a ford one and its stayed stiff since, was about a year ago lol

mind would be expensive if your using a load of them

[niracka]

Well was thinking bout actually buying their trim tape cos its on their cars from new so they must sell it in the parts dept

Ollie

[niracka]

Hey I'v finnished my colourcoding now. I think it looks sooo much better and I'm so glad I'v finally got round to finnishing it off lol. I need to go over it with some rubbing compound to even out the laquer and get the shine to some out a little better but its a pretty good colour match.

Heres some piccys of how she stands atm. Unfortunately I'v not polished her for a while but will get some better piccys up wen have time to give it a proper wash ect and have sorted fuinnish on strips.







Its funny really that I'v not got this car looking how I want it. As I have just been acceoted for a loan to buy my new mondeo tdci st to replace this as the family car and this is going to be getting sold to finally fund the purchase of a FRST!!!!!!!

Typical that as soon as I get it how I wanted it all along its time to sell and move on lol. Oh well better things

Ollie

[jonyb4]

lol you seem in a good mood about selling it on lol, i like the exhaust pipe

you still up for the fitp convoy mate?

[mrorange2]

Car looks really nice mate

[niracka]

Thanx guys.

Jon - dont think so mate have just 2 mucgh to pay out atm. Might make ford fair thaugh if your up for that one>????

Ollie

[jonyb4]

oh well thats a shame mate woud have been nice to have met you, yea will be at ford fair mate

[niracka]

Well you only live up the road so could meet up sumtime if u want mate
