well ... come end of month the Rs will be making a journey to Torque of the devil to see what bhp its producing. I haven't had it set up since the New T3 was fitted. So getting it setup and getting a power figure will be worth the money at this moment.

I have a few more things that need doing. Like the down pipe/midsection of the exhaust. It could do with replacing with a Proper stainless steel down pipe and a midsection that then joins onto it. At the moment its just a big lump welded together and rattles under the car.

If i take it to a exhaust specialist i think I'm going to be fleeced £300 plus for a custom exhaust built for the T3.

Where does the spending stop ?
It still needs a respray in my opinion with a few new panels like front wings, petrol area, front valance, Bonnet....

Lastly im thinking turning up the boost a little ... i have grown bored of 7psi on the T3
does 14 sound ok on a rebuilt cvh with stage 2 head ?

[Max M4X WW]

7psi

£300 is nothing for an exhaust!

Get a decent turbo back system, 2.5" bore

[jayrs]

i told ya how to get over that exhaust mate.
by a good one without a stupid flexy bit for the frst (T2) then mod the T3 down pipe to suit and marry up to the exhaust.
if you must, have a stainless down pipe made.
it will solve all your problems and you can get a exhaust "off the shelf"

a bar of boost will see a good difference, but i would advise fitting the chip and injectors if thats what you plan to run.

what ever happeneds to "not wanting it to drink to much" you got the bug for power mate, been a long time coming i must say

[knuckles]

i got a little bit of a power bug after seeing what a difference a new engine makes.

On a plus side there is a guy at work with a Fiesta St that keeps banging on about how fast it is.
I gave him a taster of turbo power as it is at the moment.
Left him for dust

When i said .... ''i aint tuned it yet or had it set up'' his face was a picture

[jayrs]

, mate, lots of people are taken back by what power a frst has, the people not really in the know so to speak, they just think is a bit "quick" untill you race, i mean, er, show them

i had a guy where i used to work, he got a fiesta st, kept on and on about it and it would whip me as it was quicker than the FRST he had etc, i belive he said he "missed a gear" when we got back to work

[filtra]

I saw a longlife exhaust on a FRST done in Carshalton, looked like a really good job and the guy paid around £300 for the turbo back system IIRC.

[HCS PIMP]

lol another person whos got hit by the cvh turbo bug hahaha i just love the design of the cvh head lol

[GavStyli]

why dont u fit a S2 mongoose downpipe on there, fits perfectly onto a magnex system?

[knuckles]

can u buy just a S2 downpipe from mongoose on its own ?

[GavStyli]

can u buy just a S2 downpipe from mongoose on its own ?

yep, why didnt you just ask me how i done my downpipe, you do know i have a magnex dont you... costs about £70, i ordered mine from scc
sod spending another £300 on an exhaust
jay, without a flexi, the exhaust will crack over time unless you drive like a grandad

[jayrs]

gav, i aint stupid, you dont know what ive been talking to clark about do ya?,im guessing you think im saying bung one in another and clamp it up, if so, your wrong.
i was in fact saying to clark to put a flange on the down pipe and then bolt it to the exhaust with the spring bolts, just like the standard T2 down pipe would connect to the exhaust.
this will give enough movement for what it needs, and do away with that dog $hit flexy

[knuckles]

another nice find

The little clip which holds the throttle cable in place and stops it rubbing on the cambelt cover.
finis code : 1625936
Best 75p ive ever spent

1020 miles covered now.
Reconnected the boost guage, boost is running at 6psi !

[jayrs]

give it a week before you find its popped out

[knuckles]

nah

its a tight fit on the new throttle cable

[jayrs]

fair enough.
now spend some money getting that manky old bottle off the breather pipe

[knuckles]

fair enough.
now spend some money getting that manky old bottle off the breather pipe

might upgrade it to a red bull can

[jayrs]

lol, upgrade it to a bean can if you want, that manky bottle is long past its best mate

[knuckles]

can i just point out the bottle was green when it was new and contained some french water i believe...

was kindly donated from the french rs

[jayrs]

dont matter if it was was, kindly donate it back to the bin

[HCS PIMP]

hahahah lol

[knuckles]

not much of a update ....



just a average boot with standard worn out carpet in..



crap removed ......




One brand new Ford antislip mk3 fiesta boot mat





Fitted in seconds



nice little touch and hides the manky old carpet

[jayrs]

nice touch mate.
just the job, sort of thing i could do with, but i dont think i would wanna pay the price though, bet that was a bit expensive
and you got too much time on your hands at owrk, looking through microcat for weird and wonderful parts all day for the fez

[knuckles]

it was cheaper to buy the anti slip mat than a new bit of carpet.

But im still walking funny after buying it put it that way

[jayrs]

[Ghost]

cool, seen the finish code, how much was it? i like it!

[knuckles]

Rob : the mat costs around £35 to the general public








Mot passed with flying colours last week saturday. The ford guys even adjusted the Co2 sensor whilst on mot bay and got it reading what it should be ....

1500 miles done and dusted with no problems
Just got to find a day off now and take it down torque of the devil to get its rolling road setup done.
The T3 is running only 6psi atm and i know its got so much more to give.

[knuckles]

Spent the weekend up barrow in furness - cumbria.
Took the Rs up to the lake district and took in some wicked scenery as recommended by my friend from doncaster with the ninja motorbike.








Friday was very wet up there. Began raining around 11am and didn't stop till 4pm. Ruined the roads.
Getting up 25% gradient hills was something the Rs struggled with
Had to use 1st gear and absolutely floor it at some points. I know now what 4X4 is meant to be used for now !
Being up in the clouds was cool too.






A trip to domino's ended friday. Buy one get one free went down a treat





Saturdays weather was spot on ... sun sun and more sun. Roads had dried out. Caravans and tractors were a pain in the arse as i was trying to keep up with the Ninja
Some awesome roads up north. Felt like a holiday away from all the stop start traffic in london. Not a set of traffic lights to be seen for miles.... No mobile phone reception either up some parts ...










I love this picture

[jayrs]

very nice mate, next time you over here you can get some pic like that, rather than pic of it on axle stands
