When was this car first featured in a mag? And any pics?
I remember reading a feature on this (may be not) many years ago when I was into Max Power and Red Line.
I do remember a free dvd with a mag and on it was Martin trying to break the tow a caravan top speed record or something. Think a window went through on the caravan and they had to remove the stabiliser?That was the escort like.
Whilst the mag staff were fucking about in Corsa's and similar on it fucking about at Brunters.

Some of the old articles on the Mondeo can be read at http://www.reyland.co.uk/press-mondeo/ . Click on a page to read it full size.
It's good to see the Mondeo being brought back to life!

Great to see this getting some love and not just ripped apart as so many expected.
Look forward to seeing it all together again!
Staying the same colour? I'd be hugely tempted to go mental full on 90s with a Citrine yellow paintjob!

I'm so glad to see this is in good hands.. Seeing as I was born in 94 this car was a bit past it's best when I really understood how awesome it is but I remember reading about it in an old copy of Redline maybe? I assumed it would've been broken for bits and disappeared years ago... Family friendly toy atleast ��

Those load resistors can get quite hot. Just make sure it's not in direct contact with any wiring and mounting in a suitable spot. I wouldn't leave anything to chance or want it to be the achilles heal with the build. Best of luck with the resto lads.

They start at £550.00 plus what ever add ons you need. I can custom make it to whatever spec or size you need,
This one has been custom made to Marks specific lengths and spec so should fit really well in the mondeo

yeah, i build them so they are quite future proof and i can make add ons to fit, thats why each one has a serial number and i keep a record of what i did on each one.
I added fan over ride,so you can manually power the fans, and added coil feeds for a diode pack if needed into yours aswell.
But the best bit of them is you won't get any signal interference, and voltage drop is almost none exsistant
I did some logging on a car we were mapping on my loom and it had a 0.2v drop at pin 20 from idle to 7800rpm,
compared to the 2.7 volt drop on the other brand
