Yeah, try uploading that first one again, the buzzing overrules all the sound.
Sounds great in the second video, pulls nice and briskly through the gears

Re: The changing faces of my car... Warning lots of Pics/words!!
shell :Spec is:
1800 Zetec bottom end
FRST head
Piper T285 cam
Bosch Beige
Walbro fuel pump
Standard T3 turbo
Ahmed Bayjoo chip
Pace Intercooler
Lowered by approx 35mm on G-Max springs
Scorpion exhaust with Tube Torque tail pipe
Flamer kit
15" TVR wheels but not sure...
Its getting ready for USC at the moment so engine is for sale and there will be a new engine in there very soon... one that involves biger engine, bigger turbo, bigger power...
UPDATE...
As i cannot keep the same spec/look for 5 mins my spec has changed massivly since my last post...
Since then, i now have 2.1 ZVH... ALL of the engine being built by my own fair hand too... (my first engine build nd its still running ). It also has 42lb injectors, T34 turbo and nitrous...
Think thats the main things, there have been a few other little bits but nothing major...
She has also just been at the Performance Ford daddy thrash... I went as the apprentice, with a brand new fitted turbo and gas so was more of a test day... Was really good fun!!
Was at Bruntingthorpe and so therefore concrete... all i can say with the new spec is - I cant wait for Santa Pod in April...
Next - full respray, engine makeover, brakes and a few other little bits... All should be complete by Centrals Day...
Thanks for looking

Re: The changing faces of my car... UPDATED :)
Oh no sorry, i mean, not black tinted... standard tint...
I did have black windows all round but when i re-shell-ed it the fronts didnt go in as soon as i wanted... then they were stolen... so i just want standard looking windows
As for being drafty... not that i have noticed... infact i pretty much have them open all te time when i'm driving in summer

Re: The changing faces of my car... UPDATED :)
Ha, thanks... my picture is AWFUL tho... i look nothing like that!!
The main reasons are i dont like doing anymore than 130 in my car... I have done more i a sierra but that seems to plant itself after 130... mine feels like its going to blow away and also, top sped isnt an area that interests me... i have no intention of ever doing more than 150 in my car...its 1/4 miles that make me smile
