Could you not drive it there.

dean9595

Billy killed the turbo the day after he had it tuned as when I bought it it had a mis on boost but I used to just potter around so didn't really bother me but billy had it sorted just for it to kill the turbo
But tbh it was the original from factor never rebuilt turbe t3

fatboy billy

Sure they will kev

It's a good car dean looking forward to driving it again, I'm at Central day

Didn't fancy risking it the turbo is well fooked and didn't want it doing any damage it's about a 70 mile trip

dean9595

I'm a central too billy will find ya and come see the old girl

fatboy billy

Drove so much better with new plugs and the chip modifed and a setup could actually drive it how you want to and not hold back,original turbo was never going to last forever just bought my plans of upgrades forward a bit lol

I wish it was only a 70 mile trip for me to go to the pod lol.

fatboy billy

Picked the car up Friday afternoon from SCS after having all the new bits fitted for stage 3 as well as a new cambelt, headgasket and oil change and what a shock to drive after 8 months compared to my puma. Soon got used to it and love it all over again it's plenty quick enough for me and glad to be able to use it again

Had my mate come and machine polish it Saturday and the results are amazing as it was very swirled and lots of surface scratches even the boot came up well and it was a mess lol

Anyway pics





















Also had a little issue of the fans not kicking in so after doing a few check I'm pretty sure the issue is at the fuse box so will be ordering an updated loom this week but made a temp one on a switch and had to check the fans were the right way round



They were! Lol

fatboy billy

Sunday I went to central day at pod didn't get many pics as I was freezing! It looks low as it was full of people trying to get warm lol





Then once home from the show went from a drive round all the local back roads with my brother





Back home and squeezed on the drive lol we love a ford

fatboy billy

Also fitted my new fogs which has really brightened up the front end



Another of the engine bay of how it's looking now after a quick wipe over. It's starting to look more like how I want it to under the bonnet



That's it for now as I'm skint! Lol

JasonPD

Stunning looking saph, especially after the machine polish!

fatboy billy

Cheers mate it's not 100% swirl free but the difference is night and day now to just drive it for now lol

fatboy billy

I go with the saph forum to most shows and rsoc groups to others still not been able to make an essex rsoc meet but hopefully going down next month as one only been driving it 3 months out of the 11 I've owned it lol

STeve

iTrader: (11)

Alex who runs passionford north london (just off the A10) also runs essex rsoc and they are a really active group right on your doorstep and they have all manner of fords inc cossies, well worth a visit as your car used to attend their meets years back too

fatboy billy

Not quite on my doorstep the Essex meet is an hour away and sometimes with work if I have to stay late it's not worth it but next month I'll go down I know if quite. A few people who do go down there though and here good things

RSWORTH

Looks awesome, love the machine polish and I wish I still had a set of diamond cuts. Great set of wheels

fatboy billy

Cheers mate I still fancy a change but will keep hold of them and get them refurbed so they're mint

fatboy billy

Bored on a cold wet January night so thought I'd update this lol, after the last update I havnt done much to the car other than use it and clean it although I'd have liked to have done more of both.

But I have been stocking up on a few bits ready for the weather gets better and I'll get it out the garage and start tinkering I can only work on it outside and I ain't doing it in the rain or cold

One pic of it at a local show

fatboy billy

Someone spotted this in the traffic on the way out of ford fair God knows how they spotted it but glad they did



Which resulted in this and me getting the hump as the tyre was like new lol



Once I calmed down I ordered a set of new contisportcontact 3 which sorted that

Took it out on my birthday and ended up popping into burton got some polybushes and some wrinkle paint to redo my cam cover but can't decide still between red or black?





Also managed to squeeze some bits out of my girlfriend for Christmas



Also got a Pillar pod but not sure if I'm going to use it or not yet, also got a nos battery cover to fit

Sorry it's a boring update when the weather gets better I'll get it out and actually do a proper update

Cheers
