good power there clark...makes me wish id had my one set up properly... the last power run mine did was 148 bhp at 10 psi and the same spec engine as yours...

[rsonblackwheels]

awesome dude, thats gr8 power, bet it feels loads diffrent to drive

bring on the fuel pump

keep up the good work

[fiesta boy]

i rember this when you first started changed a lot over the years

yep standard ofab management - on blues.
Considering getting the blues professionally cleaned, along with the new fuel pump.
then seeing a better power output.

Ive had the overboost protection kick in a few times when flooring it in 4th gear. Code 51 as the ford technicians call it.
very annoying

[Turboboy67]

Wish I'd had a guess at the power output now,

JNE was virtually identical in engine spec, peeking at 9psi and made 168bhp on Noble's rollers.

Bet it feels like a different car to drive

Enjoy

Few updates on the Rs

Finally had my rear tow eye Replaced !



This is what i had to begin with .....







Up on the Ramps ....







Grinding the old eye off was pretty much straight forward.







Rear box section with eye removed and all rust eliminated... cleaned and prepared for welding on the new eye.












The finished product.
Properly welded on and primed in Red oxide primer. Will give it a few coats of Ford diamond white when i next get a nice hot day. I undersealed the box section this afternoon by brushing it on. Still needs another coat then painting underneath.

Looking good!

You done a proper job of it too - Was the old one cut or snapped? and why

[FRSJON]

finally!!.. is that my old one?...

I believe it was cut off to have a smooth bumper fitted




How the car used to look years ago

[knuckles]

finally!!.. is that my old one?...

The new ford part was under a fiver so i had that fitted instead.

Still got your one around somewhere

[jayrs]

i remember cutting that old one off lol
nice to see it with a tow eye back on

[FRSJON]

id of saved my money...red ones are worth around a tenner...

[jayrs]

[~nomad~]

weirdly I was thinking about your towing eye today, and wondering if you had sorted it.

with the over boosting now sorted until the colder weather comes back , i think you should just drive it and enjoy it
as the engine is running perfect now so dont touch it and just dont hold the car above 6000rpm.

the next step powerwise, is a big step as your around the limit of the blues anyway. you might squeeze another 10bhp out of what you have with a 165 chip and fuel pump but not worth it imo...

ps. drive carefully! stop scaring old gits with your new found chatter

Not much of an update as such...

Had the Camshaft and hydrolic lifters replaced at work today. Engine has done 3850 miles and has managed to eat 2 cam lobes and ruin 2 tappets. The stage 2 head has had uprated valve springs fitted when it was sent away to cylinder head developments. Which has had a knock on effect on the standard ford cam and tappets.

New standard valve springs have been ordered and i will have to get them in before the weekend before i ruin the 2nd camshaft....




I was asked to order a new rear number plate light so i thought i fit one myself....







They are ever so slightly different - i think its the mk3.5 item as the Mk3 bulb holder struggled to slide in the cover properly. the Bulb holder was £15 so i left that for now






Fitted.
It makes such a difference when lit up at night. The old one was very dingy and discoloured.

[jayrs]

looking good mate, bet ya glade i ask you to get me a new light now aint ya
dont forget to bring mine to FF along with that box of crap you sold me

[HCS PIMP]

were you not tempted to get a kent or piper cam in there i know i would lol but supose soo much of this car is true to standard

[jayrs]

it dont suit his needs to have a racy cam in there mate.
tbh, im even thinking of taking my cvh35 kent cam out and putting a standard one back

[~nomad~]

how long has it had clear rears? I just noticed and was surprised!

your not the only 1! he's just going through a phase like we all do when we're depressed over the s**t summer weather

[knuckles]

I much prefer the standard cam over the kent cvh35 variant. Kent cam made my car run very lumpy and keep stalling when coming to a stop.

Finally !
someone commented on the clear rears lol
i saw them going very cheap on ebay so i snapped them up for £24.
Always fancied just seeing how they would look.

Had them on for just over 2 weeks now.

[M1K3Y_B]

What are those clear rears doing on your car, they aren't a geniune Ford part?

[knuckles]

New fiesta rs turbo Coil springs
i got to try to fit these on my 1 hour lunch break tomorrow at work

wish me luck

if it dont go to plan i will be walking home work ...

[jayrs]

your be alright mate as i said on phone.
give me a bell if you get stuck mate

[M1K3Y_B]

How much was the top part of the numberplate light case?

[jayrs]

[robrs80]
