Re: The changing faces of my car... UPDATED - 04-07-09 x
Hey...
Just thought i would update my post up a bit as i havent done it for a while and i have changed the wheels and had it rolling roaded...
New cossie wheels - love them!!!
and on the rollers...
She made 301BHP and 300 ft/lb...
REALLY pleased with the figures... i will get a pic of the graph and post it on here when i get chance...
This was the day before Central Day where i had a few running problems during the day... couldnt seem to get away from a 13.9 regardless of what i did... Then this topped the day:
OOPS...!!! Luckly i turned it off quick enough and it was only the T off for my oil pressure guage - jubilee clip failed
Bodged it and managed to get the car home... with the clutch slipping... so had to get that fixed...
Then forgot about the bodge that i had done... set off to FITP and then this is what happened:
Tweek found it very funny
Got that fixed now and seems to be okay
Going to be doing another day at santa pod soon to see if i can get away from my poor effort of a 13.9...
Thanks Shell x x

Hmm, can't help but think the cossie wheel curse is striking again
Put the cossies on, day after - running problems, FITP, lost oil............. Be very careful
On another note though, the car does look absolutely awesome

Re: The changing faces of my car... UPDATED :)
Hi I've just read this whole thread, Love the car, The wheels in this pic, I'm sure I've seen them before.. Thought they were off an RS200 at first... But now I'm not so sure. But I know I recognise them, This is gonna do my head in now until I think of it!. Anyway, Great car, What's the problem with it at the moment?

Re: The changing faces of my car... and now going up FOR SALE :(
Soooo... not been on here for a while but thought i would give a quick update.
This car is going to be up for sale soon and if anyone would be interested please feel free to PM me and i will keep your number for when it is ready to go.
It would be ready now but i would like to get it tidied up and featured before it goes.
As it stands, the look is the same as the above and the power is the same as the graph. I can leave the gas on but it will cost extra.
I am not going to put it in For Sale just yet as as it stands its not ready to go and TBH i dont know i price for it, but as soon as its ready it will be in there....
This is just a post to see if there is any interest. It is a genuine reason for sale in the fact that i am bored of seeing fiesta's and would like a new car / project so this one can go to someone else...
Thanks

Can't believe I've never seen this before!
What is the complete spec? It's making awesome power, I always thought the double capacity coolers didn't perform well over 200bhp.
