What happened mid session when you had to pit?
Yes as Jimbo said blasted boost pipe came off, possibly not done up tight enough after fitting gear box. It's come off a few times now so going to revise the pipe angle and fitting.

Where has time gone…..

Few updates for the car last few weeks - will update over coming days..……
I decided to fit a new bonnet to the car which has been made by a new company LWS DESIGN who offer a wide variety of carbon parts.

First was to ensure the lower skin would fit the engine bay and components, with changing the front end so much the intercooler may have touched the underside.
Which it had!

Once I was happy with this they trimmed to suit and then made the top skin and bonded together.

The bonnet is now a dual skin carbon bonnet which hinges on the back and is pinned at the front with Aero catches.
The finish is awesome! Really pleased with it.
If you need carbon panels for the MK3 Fiesta or other Ford models drop Lewis a call at LWS Design - www.lwsdesign.co.uk/index.php

looks awsome mate, the inner frame is the most impressive part for me, it is so difficult to get the carbon as neat as that!!!

Great work
