Red FRST ... SMALL UPDATE 2/03/14

Here's the fez in her glory,

Grs, hybrid t2, beiges, cone filter, Ahmed bahjoo chip, a few other bits and bobs.

Currently under going charging issues, needs another alternator as it appears the current one is over charging, causing the car to always need jump starting and readings fluctuating 12's 13's 15's and then 23's :o , so as advised car is stationary until a brand new alternator is purchased.!

Planning the t3 conversion shortly ! With the aim of staying with the cvh lump!. 250 Bhp i would be very very happy with!.

So, after some odd idle I thought I would take a look at the idle control valve ,

Which bit needs to be cleaned ? And what's the best way lads ?.

Small update,

Thanks to jay, I managed to find the correct relay with out having to sell an arm and a leg at fords,

Spent a couple of hours today removing the turbo and everything else related, getting ready for the t3 next week!.

Image


On the t3 subject I'm stuck on one part, the oil return pipe part that goes in to the block is it this part ?

Quick update , cars been sat looking sorry for itself last few weeks, so I paid some attention to her after work Friday;

Following a useful guide I carried out the t3 conversion,

Just require
1) 2.5" bore t3 downpipe
2) oil return pipe ( swear to god I had one )

In this picture , if you can see the oil feed from the block travels upwards .. Is this ok?.

Thanks jay,

The rocker isn't my cup of tea to be honest, but it does look good, it's actually been printed on!


Cheers ,
Matt.

It's been a while ,

I wanted to break this car Soooo many times , but I persevered and I can now finally enjoy myself ,

So I completed the t3 conversion (used the online guide and couldn't believe how easy it was) car runs a dream bar a set up and new ICV needed! The car will have a service in the next few weeks and then left alone until September where I'm looking at a stage 2/3 turbo FMIC , and cam not sure what one yet tho kent 34 or 35?.

A few updated pictures nothing spectacular though, obviously as above I once had a Grs fitted this is long gone and I've reverted back to the pace for now, the eagle eyes amongst you will notice the slightly of coloured front bumper and dodgy number plate I'll deal with this next month!
