[kawi-mad]

are you the same fostersice thats on ebay think ive bought some bike parts off you before

[fostersice]

Yes mate
it's on eBay for £18000 starting bid

[CozzyKing]

Are you serious about selling the car mate? if you are what has made you decide to sell her?

[fostersice]

Something has come up and i have to raise some money

[RETRO_AL_]

Have you got it up and running ?

[fostersice]

£18000 buys it running and brakes done
£15000 buys it needing brakes doing on it

[fostersice]

radiator fitted




spent the day working on her today

fitting the rads and working out what hose is needed.

[fostersice]

looks like im keeping her so back to work
just need to make up the rad hoses
add the oils

[RETRO_AL_]

Dont take this the wrong way but if you had kept it more oldskool ie without the need for speed bits you would have probably got more interest,the styling is not everybodys taste
Im glad your keepng it anyway you have to at least drive it before selling it

[CozzyKing]

So glad you are keeping it mate, fair enough it aint to everyones taste but nobody could doubt the effort that as gone into this build.
I will be glad to see it built up and out at a few shows later this year mate so good luck and crack on with it

[fostersice]

thanks guys

as for need for speed remove spoiler and whats need for speed?

everything apart from the spolier and the wheels is group 4,RS inc the colour,

the spoiler can be removed and wheels replaced.

ok so today has been well spent
brakes all fitted so just rears to do and brake lines

all the air lines are run for boost gauges dump valve and 3bar map sensor,

[fostersice]

can anyone help
on top of the turbo there is a hose that is capped off

im thinking it is a water return as on the housing there is a water hose coming from the water pump

i have no where for the hose to join to

[carlo]

Top of the header tank

[fostersice]

Not got a header tank only the overflow on the tank???

[RETRO_AL_]

The turbo does not need to be plumbed so its water cooled, theres loads running without the cooling to the turbo,i ran without it for ages untill i plumbed a proalloy turbo cooling rad in

[fostersice]

should i take the input hose off as there is no outlet hose ????

or can i run it into the over flow of the rad??????

[RETRO_AL_]

Yeah you can take the input hose off

i totaly agree, 1st i must say its nice to here that you are keeping it! as when you get round to get it on the road to drive it'' you then know why you kept it!

but as it was said above, the car is to much'' on the street chav halfords look! its ok to have your own custom look! but if you selling it'' its best to keep old skool with oldskool LOOK'' im sorry if i sound harsh, but i think people know wot im talking about.

but it dont mater now as you are going to keep it! if there was somthing you need to lose on the car, it would have to be the spoiler! you be best of with the stock rubber one or better still, if you want that look! capri Zakspeed'' but they are like hens teeth, but you mite get a fiberglass one!

I must you are now getting back into it, and looking cool with the right parts on!

[fostersice]

If I fit a water swirl pot could I run the hose from the turbo into the top of the swirl pot????

[pig]

=paul remove the water pipes from the turbo completely m8,you only need to run water through it if it is a roller bearing type i.e gt series type turbo.you will have no problems what so ever on the t3 with no water cooling m8.i only ran water through mine when i changed to a gt30 m8 then i went in to the stat housing(4x4 stat) and then had a fitting welded in to the top of my rad for the other pipe m8.if you can find my thread on here there are pictures of how i done mine if that elps,but dont worry about the water outlets on that turbo set up m8 it will be fine.
hth

[fostersice]

Thanks Paul

Just paid for a set of RS turbo brakes for the rear end
so all I have left to do is fit the rear brakes
make and run the brake lines
fit the rad hoses once they get here
and fit the throttle cable
and get my guy to finish the wiring lol
can't wait

Will post more pics as soon as the parts turn up

And will video to start of the engine for the first time lol

what do you guys think before i final fit??????

Facet red top`s to fill the swirl pot would be better, also why are the fuel feed and return going into the swirl pot on opposite sides ? they will be working against each other ....

Cheerz,

[cossytonyt]

glad you have seen sense mate and are keeping it cant wait till mines finished ive had a few and fuck me there worth the wait you,ll have a permanent on your face,i personally like the look youve gone for its all about being different imo

[fostersice]

day has been a busy one

got rear brakes delivered so i had to strip the calipers down take them back to metal and repaint them

as the paint is drying i fitted the escort rs turbo vented discs

and fitted the front door weather seals

i also removed the front screen ready for the new screen

refitted the new front screen and new rs solid screen rubber

i know replacing everything old for new is silly but if its worth doing its worth doing right the first time.

i also had my radiator hoses and breather hoses turn up after waiting all day

so got to fitting them as well

[RETRO_AL_]

Looks good, do you have a spare windscreen rubber to sell?

[fostersice]

selling the screen and rubber £50

[CozzyKing]

Come on mate, it's time for the last push and then you can go out for a play in the beast.

[fostersice]

list of things left to do
brake lines from master to front brakes (solid or braided ????
brake lines from master to handbrake then to axel (solid or braided????
clutch line from master to baulkhead joint.
need to get a alloy 90 degree 32mm OD joiner for lower rad hose

I think we can all appreciate that you are going great guns mate and I think that the build has come on strong over the last few months.

With regards brake lines mate:-
brake lines from master to front brakes (solid or braided ????)
brake lines from master to handbrake then to axel (solid or braided????)
for me it has gota be solid as the less flex that you have in a hydraulic system the better.

[fostersice]

rear calipers and frodo pads fitted
just need to fit new breather and hose and brake lines

[Portugal]

impressive project!

nice coming i need to say!
