everything is back on it , cleaned every interior part , i fixt the driversseat it had some marks on it from getting in and out, i had some si seats and got the part that had marks on it from my seats changed to the ones from the si , they look like new now ,




the marks



the si donor



they are mounted back in now

today i bled the breaks
only the exhaust now and adjusting the handbreak and giving it a good wash and where off
i'll put the old exhaust on for now, i have too make the new one to fit together with the st170 maniold.
also cleaned the heatshealds
do you see the difference?



greetz

[dj_yd]

today i drove it for the first time in 7 months, and it feld fine
a few little bits had to be done, setting the lights, wheel allingment, reprogram the pats for the new steering lock and key, and making the new exhaust with the st170 manifold










not much done on the engine for now, nuw sparkplugs, ht leads, oilchange, oilfilter , petrolfilter.
need too clean the bay a bit



interior looks like new, the steeringwheel looks grey but is black







after 7 months ist roling again , let me know what you think

greetz

[dj_yd]

a little update

i wasn't happy with the front shocks, way too soft , the car was bouncing up and down at the front.
so i started adjusting the red koni's. the right one whent fine, but the left one isn't adjustable anymore, and it feels verry soft , so that has too be replaced. for now i fitted the original shock at the left front.




than i started with the st170 manifold

removed the old one



out with the pulsair tubes





from this

too this


too this




and finaly this




and it fits :Q





next thing is making the mongoose exhaust fit the manifold

greetz

[Fiesta_ie]

nice work with the mainfold

[dj_yd]

update
the bad koni is back to koni, they'll fix it , just have to wait

the st170 manifold is ready and the mongoose exhaust fits

i had a "spacer" lasered for between the manifold and the head so the manifold fits good



wraped the manifold , looks good





only waiting for a new "slim line " fan, the old one doesn't fit anymore

also got me some roose motorsport cooling and Ancillary hoses and fitted them



greetz

[wess-rs]

thanks mate, if i didn't fit this than the manifold would hit the + therminal on the starter, now i have 1cm between the tube and the + therminal



greetz

[dj_yd]

got my new fan, and fitted it with the manifold and the starter

[Twins]

Fantastic work there

[Brian]

Excellent work mate

[dj_yd]

it's alive again
i'll have to say, it sounds like a beast
and it drives much better than before, fast throtle response, and it pulls through the revs like hell

st170 manifold




just missing the starter





had to chop a bit from the carter to alow the lamda to fit


the rest of the exhaust
