get more satisfaction doing it yaself...!?! although i'v had a fair amount of help of my mate, so i cant take all the glory
but yeh using a blacktop engine

[tezmanian devil]

bit of an update...

got my feul rail, fuelab filter and pressure reg back from south coast performance finally as they needed to make and adaptor so my earl's fitting's would fit the fuel rail...
anyway, here's some pic's of them fitted...



can see in the first pic how tight it is between the tb and the brake res, but i'v got a plan for getting round that... hopfully lol




pic of where the black top sump get's in the way of fitting the starter motor


and it's also in the way of the drive shaft on the back


new cossy t34


then i went abit picture mad testing my camera out and took a few random one's...















got my bumper back aswel as my mate that was going to mod it is moving house, so thought it would be best to get it out of he's way for time being
put the splitter up against it so you can see how much bigger it is to a mk5 bumper...


and i couldn't resist fitting it to see how it all look's, need to cut and extend the bumper to make it tie in with the arch's, and cut out the middle like my last one, but this give's you an idea of roughly how it will look














that's all for now

[marky_g]

cheers bod, yeh i'v got the angle grinder ready for the next time i go up there

[J1mbo]

please dont put that bonnet on there

other wise it looks awsome, i got a splitter same as that at work cut in half, was gonna fit to mine, looks a hell of a job though !

[tezmanian devil]

sorry dude, bonnet's staying, i prefer it to a normal buldge bonnet and grill, and it add's the mean/aggressive look im going for

i think you should have a go with the splitter and sell me the rubber one you have :thumbsup:
seriously though, how much do you want for your splitter, i'll give you what you paid + 100

[wess-rs]

Top work!!

cheers dude
im not to sure when it'll be on the road really, dont want to say just incase i jynx myself... would like to have it done by ford fair though, that way i can give it a blast round the track providing it's run in and mapped properly by then... can only keep my finger's crossed for the time being.

[Minirotty]

Looks great bud and can't believe I'm saying it but the bad boy bonnet works for me

[tezmanian devil]

cheers dude, yeh i think the bonnet will be abit of a marmite thing for some people, but hey ho...

[tezmanian devil]

can anyone tell me where i can get the braided wireing sleveing(sp?) stuff from?
want to try and do some of my engine wireing harness soon, but want to wrap it with the braided stuff so it can look as neat as pos...
any help would be awesome!!

[danny_boy699]

sure there was a lad on here who could get it from work, try in the genral descuion

[tezmanian devil]

cheers dude, think i might have found some in demon tweek's aswel

You need to move your coilpack 180 degrees, thats why your HT leads don't fit.

[dobs]

thought i'd type fiesta, doh lol
yeh can give ya a hand with the lump, having a drink tonight for kat's birthday, which could possibly turn into abit of a heavy one, so i dout i'll be about befour mid day lol

need to get the esc cos rad and my nice shiney i/c mounted up tomorrow hopfully, need to fab some bracket's out of something though...? you got any decent bracket making fodder?

i CANNOT wait until she's running, not far off now i dont think
bell me tomorrow anyway bod, havn't been arsed to get any credit

[J1mbo]

black intercooler in the front would be dead on, hidden so knowone knows till they try it on lol

[tezmanian devil]

that would be a good idea, but once i chop my bumper it'll be blaitant there's an intercooler behind it

might give it ago anyway, if it look's pant's i'll just spin it back round to nice shiney alloy

[J1mbo]

what are you chopping from the bumper !?

[tezmanian devil]

where the middle hole is on the bumper, im just chopping that out abit more... like this...


but i wont be doing the hole's either side of the centre one this time because that was a night mare
need to extend the bumper somehow aswel so it tie's in with the wider cossy arch's, god no's what im going to do about that...??

[jon_ross]

just stretch the bumper over and bolt it in position, its only a few mm each side, dont worry about that just do the exhaust for now

[J1mbo]

i think that'll look pretty good with just the centre one done !

as above wont it just stretch out that lil bit ??

[tezmanian devil]
