Autoflock Motorsport Demo Car
well I was surfing the internet the other day on autotrader when I noticed a car that looked familiar, it was a white Fiesta RS Turbo I used to own many years ago. I have always had a soft spot for this car so I had to make the call, 48hrs later and £1350 less in my pocket (I sold her for £3250) the car was back on my drive. The first time round when I owned her it was a mint 200bhp monster but saldy this is not the case, it even still had the folder of receipts that I put together with it, but my secton of money spent (£8000) is the last, no one has looked after her or spent any money on her. Now its time for a rebuild and full restoration, Here are my proposed plans:
Body
Fully restored back to factory look but wath a descete cut in the bumper
Quad lamps
Full respray
after market alloys
Engine
2.0 Zetec block
rs1800 sump & pickup
Ballanced crank & pulley
Farndon H-section rods
Wiseco pistons
Mildly ported head with standard cvh cam
Beige injector
CR turbo's stage 3 t3turbo (2wd cossie compressor & .48)
Custom downpipe & Exhaust
Custom oil breather system
Alloy rad
GRS custom intercooler
samco hoses
Omex management (although it will be on standard management with emulator for some time)
Electronic boost controller set to 15 - 20 psi (depending on fuelling limitations)
Running gear
Koni adjustable susupension all round
Budget bigger brake conversion front and rear (cossie/st 170)
ap 4 paddle clutch with ahmed pressure plate
CTS stage 2+ gearbox (shot peened cogs & quaiffe)
Polybushed all round
Interior
A few subtle gauges
Custom dials (home made of course)
Standard interior
All plastic trimming flocked in Ford blue and black (also done by me)
Suede rally style steering wheel
I have already started work on this project so will post some pics up this weekend for anyone who is interested. Im hoping the end product will a really clean (not concourse) and respectable fast road car that has hopefully over 200bhp and plenty of torque. Only time will tell if this is so, I just hope the force is with me on this one!!!
