small update

got some new armes



should help with traction



also got some of this to soak my slicks in


also i found a video of my first run with the new gearbox if you watch you see at the start when i was doing a burn out i thought the clutch was slipping hence i stoped

then half way down the strip the coil pac dies on the day i thought it was the throttle pump within the ecu set to high lol.

then as i cross the line i punch the stearing wheel in anger what a dick!!

right finally putting some time into the fiesta got the workshop between x-mass and new year so she has a ramp for the week hears how ive been getting on.

started off picking my apprentices fiesta up as it started playing up lol




good to have him around for the week as hes there when a hand is needed thanks Jamie

started by striping my gearbox out



gear box striped down and the gearkit removed




i snapped a syncro tooth off also the 3-4 syncro was locked up solid!



so i built this



its my focus rs/transit connect hybrid gearbox lol nice long ratios

the difference in bell housings



my ATB diff with the old gearkit



treated it to a new clutch an AP paddle



and put it back in the hole lol



then wile looking around underneath i looked up at my top mount and noticed something did not look right



hmmmm striped it out just to be sure!



not only has it destroyed the rubber mount its bent the holder



next to a non bent one lol



so i bent it back and made this badboy!! lol





that should hold it lol

fitted my new turbo




and my new 3" down pipe just got to make the rest of the system






thats it for today what do ya think??

The back half of the transit gearbox is the same size its the bell housing that is deeper on the focus due to the size of the clutch.

Its a gt30.71 so should go past 400hp with ease
