Hi all,

Haven't posted on here before but keep looking through the parts for sale section and the build of MK's MK6 fiesta (very impressive build and a credit to Marc. The build thread is particularly interesting and informative).

Anyway a couple of years back i saw this on ebay and liked the look of it so took the plunge.

The shell had a JWRC kit on it and the owner had started to convert it cosworth running gear.

Then i recently had chance to buy a very good spec engine and cosworth running gear to add to the project.

And finally i spoke to Mark at MK motorsport reference fabricating the shell and during our chat i mentioned gearboxes and he suggested ringing Camilus Bradley. I did with a view to getting some prices and info. Camilus offered me a deal i couldn't turn down so i placed an order for the required box and the front and rear diffs.
I then spoke to Ben at Quaife and he gave him all the required info to build the box to our spec.

The above and all the other parts collected for this project are now in storage until i get another project finished.
When the build starts I'll try and put some updates on here.

Thanks

It's a newly built engine running approx 450hp at the moment but we'll up it to 500ish and see how we get on. Might take it further at a later date.

Plan at the moment is to run it with one of the new Motec ECU's that has the integrated Geartronics software which will allow us to us paddle shift.
