MSE Belcar Mondeo GT Car re-build .....
Thought i'd share some pics of what im up to at the moment , my sierra has taken a backseat while this car gets a re-build .I bought it 6 months ago from a Rally crosser in Belgium , he wasn't sure whether to go racing or Rally crossing after he retired from Rallying so he bought a car for each ! the Mondeo was bought from MSE on the pitwall at spa after it threw another turbo ( with the engine stripped it became obvious why it didi this ) , i bought it less engine , loom and ecu but a host of other bits had been taken for another project !
on the ferry coming home with it
as it last ran ..
previous colours ..

Hi Radders, alls good mate ,
Euan , i only have 2 cars , but 2 kids as well means i rearely get to race these days , lol.
This is the engine being test fitted , 742bhp and 666ft lb on race fuel .
I was always going to change the turbo anyway , a JGE 60 Turbonetics /Garrett hybrid was fitted and dynoed
Made what i wanted , good boost from low down as well .

I remember watching this fucker on Sky Sports or Eurosport racing in BelCar, back when it was silver, was awesome 
Fast as fuck, nice black smoke or big flames on every gearchange top

Still is silver , i remember watching it in Belcar and thought "i gotta get me one of them , lol "
I bought the Quaife viper box that it ran in 2004 , heap of shit thing ! It now has a Drenth MPG sequential , bit more like it i reckon .
they broke up a wolf racing Eggenburger RS 500 for the rolling gear, its been quite heavily modded since then tho , one piece Dymag rims , 10.5 and 11.5" wide and much smaller centrelock spindles to reduce rotating mass, huge Brembo brakes and moton 3 way Dampers too ...

Spent a while deciding where to site the dry sump tank and then running the lines for it ..
Finally settled on about here...
also had a chance to remove the Fuel cell cover and the nasty bits of old steel pipe that feed both sides from the quickfills, i'll get these remade in Alloy i think ...
Gratuitous shot of the monster carbon twin element rear wing ,lol .

That's awesome Tony! Love the look of it! Did you buy this off www.rallycarsforsale.net by any chance? I'd seen one on there advertised for a number of months, looks amazing!

This cut out allows access to no 4 plug , the motor sits a foot under the bulkhead , ive had a cam sensor let into it as well so in all this rocker cover owes me 2 or 3 hundred quid !
Nearly ready to go ..

ok , got the motor in today , its tight but its in ! lots to make up so that theres room around everything , the engine actually sits behind the steering rack so you can imagine how far back it is under the bulkhead .
Tight huh !
This is the front of the car , all in one bit ..
