Here's a few pics of the car I bought a couple of months ago from Paul at North Yorkshire RS Spares. I've added new wheels, brakes and a stage 3 setup since.





I've now decided, after doing a couple of track days and reading some threads on PassionFord.com that I want to turn this into a track car of my own. I'll bring a few updates shortly.....

Looking very nice ,resize the piccys though

Cheers Paul,
Well the spec will be as follows

200 Block long studded,7.2-1,pocketed pistons,high flow oil pump,oil cooler,cams,isky vavle springs,verniers,all done by A1 Rallysport.

AP cluch,Group A engine and gearbox mounts.

Gaz coil overs and all polly bushed.

Saftey Devices roll cage,5 point harnesses,Magnium Motor sport seats.

I will be running twin O44 fuel pumps and braided or cevlar fuel lines .
A T4 is also on order from JC Motorsport and several other bits.
I will also be running air injectors.
AP 4 pots on the front with 330mm rotas and AP twin pots on the rear with 300mm
vented rears with Braided brake lines right through.
RS 500 stile intercooler and alloy 50mm radiator from Rad Tec,these are designed
for road and track as i am still going to drive to the track and a couple of mettings in the future.

I hope to acheive a genuine 450-475 bhp track car as i was passed byJohn from JC Motorsport at Oulton park a couple of week back and i have not heard the last of it yet and he's not really a good driver...

So the challange is on,mind you John was only running 500+ ponnies and wearing
slicks at the time so it is understandable that he shood pass me even though it took him a couple laps to pass me.

Looks good.

If you're thinking about some track use on a regular basis, then a set of slicks is a worthy investment.

See my post for further white saff track action update stuff.............

seveneigths

Cheers Richard i have been thicking about using slicks or road legal tyres, i believe they are the dogs.If my budjet lets me i will buy another set of wheels and run slicks.
There is a lot of things i still need to look at i.e. Gear box.I no that the gear box and maybe the diffs are a weak point when running big power,so i am looking for some ideas if anyone could help?.I no it will depend on how much money i can afford to spend. Is there a kit i can buy to strenthen the gearbox and diffs.
Well my old engine is coming out tomorrow,i hope, just 2 bolts holding it in place. Then i will get the engine cleaned and take a trip down to the A1 and start taking to steve about the best way i should go with the engine for the track.
I will post some more pictures later of all the bits i have now bought.
