well done mate just u be getting it out the garage to make way for my fiesta ha.
have you been inspected the reyland focos? and andy gallachers?

sure if the above mentioned cars were lesser quality than one built by fred in a shed then they wouldent have REYLAND and AG Motorsport put on em, as dont think either company would want a shonky piece of shit representing them

no disrespect to the guy building it either, as there is immense attention to detail and it does look like a perfect job your doing, like many though i think this guys statement is a load of toss.

I have said previously that lynch's car is looking great & im taking nothing away from him what so ever its just your silly comment that turned this thread this way! maybe you should venture beyond dundee & have a look at these other cars that lynch's is blowing out the water by a mile (so you say) & rethink your statment..If you ever seen the thread on andys car it didnt even start with a shell he built his own around 2 side panels! nothing to do with taking it in the ass! the quality davie & ian built the reyland focus too is awesome.



But back to lynch's car who built & mapped the engine did you buy the engine as a package? & what box you using?

You mentioned escos front seats andy build a black focus cossie for his mate he put escos front seats in it they look great & fit great

the engine has just been built and has not been run yet, as for a gearbox i was thinking about an r&d but every body that i've spoke to that's had one in a road car says they are too noisy so i'm thinking about a bara box now.

i remember seeing the black focus with the escos seats. the original interior in my focus was black leather so it should look good with the escos front leather seats and the focus leather rear seat and door cards.

Might be worth speaking to karl if he has mapped a engine the same spec as yours he will be able to supply a chip in the meantime untill you get it mapped.

i'll give karl a call on monday to see if he can do a chip to my engine spec, the head came from him and he has already mapped a car with the same turbo as i'm using so hopefully he can do me a chip until it's run in then it can be live mapped.

Just out of curiosity, how did you make sure it was all straight Engine, diffs, mounts etc, im very tempted to do one myself now.

did you fabricate those mounts or have them made up from elsewhere and welded in

Looks fantastic; I bet it would look good on Standard wheels. Who built your engine?
