Default My Ford Racing Fiesta

After (regretably) selling my ITB'd MK5 Fiesta Zetec-S...




...i started the search for a new runaround. Untill i found this.



So, The new Runabout...

Its a State Blue Mk4 with an FRP engine. Its a fairly good car but it has some niggles which i intend to sort out over the time that i own this.

The Spec as of 25/09/2009

Engine:
- Ford Racing Puma Engine
- Ford Racing Puma Gearbox
- Ford Racing Puma ECU
- Mondeo 2.0 Throttle Body
- Uprated Fuel Pressure Regulator
- Blue Samco Hoses
- Full Milltek with Decat

Body:
- 'Snoopy' Front Splitter
- 'Snoopy' Side Skirts
- Fiesta Zetec-S Rear Bumper
- Smoothed Boot
- Tinted front lights

Chassis:
- Gmax Dampers
- Spax Springs (-60mm i believe)
- Area Six Adjustable Wishbones (professionally set up)
- ST150 Front brakes
- Escort GTi Wheels in Custom Anthracite
- 20.5mm Rear Axle Spacers

Interior:
- RST Recaro Seats
- Custom Floor Mats
- Various Nu-Suede trim

Said car, that most of you know from previous pictures I've put up













Plans which i want to happen.

Interior
- Its a horrible colour. So it will be swapped out for a Zetec-S blue interior which I am in the process of obtaining.
- Various bits such as the roof lining will/have been covered in black Nu-Suede to add subtle class.
- Seats are comfortable but something such as FRP seat will hopefully be on the cards - Im not bothered if this doesnt happen as the Recaro's are really comfortable!
- There are two holes that have been drilled into the floor (for bucket seats i pressume. These need to be welded up ASAP.

Engine
- The engine used to be on a standard Puma ECU with a remap to suit the engine and the upgrades it had. Since then it has been put on a standard FRP ECU which doesnt like the bigger throttle body and extra pressure. So this has to be sorted soon.

Exterior
- It needs a respray really. But i can't justify this much unless i get superly attached to this car. SO hopefully a good Detail and machine polish should get most of the scratches and swirls out.
- Front bumper is in dyer need of a respray


Thanks.
