MK5 Fiesta Zetec S 1.8 Zetec Turbo
Not sure if I want to do this but i'll see if we have any interest on here.
I bought this car a few months back, used it for a month and the clutch release bearing went, I drove it back from nottingham (the release bearing sounds bad, but the car still drives OK) parked it on my drive, and left it!
The car is running a 1.8 silvertop zetec E, with decomp plate, rs turbo manifold mated to a T3 turbo, EFI inlet manifold and fiesta turbo OFAB management, full scorpion turbo back exhaust (hangs quite low) running a fiesta diesel gearbox and paddle clutch. Custom intercooler and twin fans on a switch inside the car.
The car WAS running 12psi which produced 211bhp, but was turned down to 6 psi because the fuel bill was killer (previous owner) It is now running 6 psi and I would say in the region of 170bhp, but still goes very well!
It's on AVO coilovers, mondeo 280mm front brakes with drilled discs, the battery has been relocated to the boot.
Car has standard interior (very clean) apart from steering wheel and a couple of guages, the only thing that looks different from the outside is the tourismo arches. Car has standard wheels with michelin pilot exalto 2 tyres.
The car is by no means perfect, but would be a fantastic base for somebody to bolt a built 2.0 zetec straight in and have much fun destroying unsuspecting cars!
Because it has a cone filter and no dump valve, it chatters like no car i've ever been in, certainly makes people wonder when you drive past!
I've gone to it the other day to try and get it running and have another look at it (The coldest day when it was snowing probably wasn't the best time to give it a go, but there you go) and it won't start, it was a bit dodgy starting previously, I think the ring gear on the flywheel is worn causing the starter to only part engage and it's finally worn past that point now. I will include another flywheel with the car, and seen as the box has to come out anyway it is no job at all to replace it.
It is MOT'd untill June this year, and taxed untill the end of february.
Note some of the pictures below show it with black wheels and black front lights, it now has standard lights and standard wheels...for the sleeper look ofcourse!
£1800
Please note the car is SORN'ed currently due to me having another car.

It was built by a guy on here, can't remember his name off the top of my head but I will check up. I will get you some more photos of under the bonnet but theres not much to see with regards to the intercooler and rad, it's all hidden behind the bumper!

I started taking it apart today in view of fixing it, but if this happens (i'll be taking the engine out, will be easier to remove engine+box as one as i'm doing it on my drive) it will be in bits for a long while. So it will be sold as is or as a fixed unit in however long.

so what's been taken off/out of it mate? and does that mean if i came to view it i wouldn't be able to hear it running?

I've found that life I needed.. It's HERE!!
Im sure if someone wanted to view it they wouldn't mind giving it a push down your road to get it goin mate? Then just put the new flywheel on when they got home.

Yeah I know what you mean, if anybody is seriously interested, I will put the car back together (Less than an hours job) but if not, i'm tired of it just being sat there wasted so I will fix it and sell it, or break it for bits if I find any issues when it's in bits!
