Right That should be it!, think there was an issue with the youtube code and flickR code!
bairing collapsed , driveshaft snapped and flange chewed up ! expensive times !
Fordy parts for the RS are scary! ;
£430 drive shaft
£198 flange
£52 bearing
£12 hub nut
£3 circlip
so after this !
shes back on the road!
My collection of shafts! lol (now have spaires and theres still the 2 on the car!!)
also bought these to fit! (not looking forward to that tbh!)
and also got some vibra race mounts for the car from a good pal, pics of them on the car! these things are ****** solid! haha
Cant wait to get the dash back! but my luck it will turn up just as im away offshore next week!
iv never been so amused by one thing
i honestly <3 this dash haha
-------
got my sparco wheel and life line hub sorted ! finishes off the inside nicely!
also got a custom fuel swirl pot getting made , so ordered a heap of fittings and line and fuel filter and 044 pump
got a white line adjustable rear rool bar coming , last track day tomorrow and the poly bush kit is getting fitted next week! not looking forward to stripping it all down tbh! haha rusty !
-------------
first time the focus didnt make it back up the road
water pipe blew got that fixed ,and the water fooked my 3 week old alternator
also wishing i never started doing this on my drive haha
the rear is finally apart and iv sent it off for powder coating and got all new nuts and bolts from CarPartsExpress and finaly going to fit my poly bush kit!
----------
well thats the worse job done imo! full car strip down on the underside , everything off and got blasted and then sent to the powder coaters and painted in subsea black paint , fingers crossed that should be it done for life haha
fully powerflex bushs and all new nuts and bolts from ford and car parts express (a scary price tbh! the mark up on these must be crazy! some of the bolts are £15 each!)
but its done ! 6 days turn around which is not bad imo!
Need to do a shout out to my best mate kev from leathen motors ! for only being 22 the boys skill level of work is second to non! also nexis for getting the coating done in double quick time!
shiny!!
--------
ok so for the new engine turbo set up , i needed shot of my scorpion 2.5" system , 3" system was made to order , 4 1/2 weeks later it turns up!
0.5" makes all the difference !
much smoother design
excuse the underside , its in for mot wed , getting waxoiled then!
also fitted my race rear anti roll bar , it took a month to come from auz!
and another power add'er!
thanks!
------------
right another update! . Was late home from my last trip so iv only had 10 days to do things and get stuff sorted!
first things first it to say thanks to a mate , scotty , aka Kerr Sport
managed to get my cage fitted on his tot while i was offshore
i love it ! by far the best looking bolt in cage imo!
also got the battery tray fitted , but haven't ran the cable yet (red wire under the passenger seat) as im indecisive where to drill the bulk head
also did order a universal weld in bar kit for the seats , turns out the focus is too fat and iv had to order more bar so i can make my own kit up ! total pain tbh! as im away offshore soon and its not turned up yet!!
bought this gear stick tower , it shifts the hole mech about 7" up , so the gear stick is closer but doesn't increase the throw , believe it or not its a gen ford motorsport part lol
down side! , i think i might have to hack my dash to bits to get it to fit! ;(
also bought this engine crank breather ! standard one cant cope with 350+
since the air bags are gone for good i thought id chop on and remove all the extra sensors and loom , only did the rear half of the car , still got the front loom to chop up but i think il leave that untill the engines out!
said sensors burred into the loam!
wires!
MORE wires ! haha
also got the loom stripped and then wrapped the loom in proper loom tape (u can see it in the photos above )
also my waste gate turned up tial mvr 44mm , rather large now i hold in it my hand :/ hope it fits in the bay!
and just a semi arty shot of the motor lurking!
so iv got the following waiting on turning up but i can bet they will turn up once im away! :
Swirl pot (seriously been taking its time)
Sachs 4 paddle clutch
Custom 4-1 manifold
GTX3071r
custom sized swirl pot from race-tech
and GTX3071r suppled by sarbe !
