Right I'm pleased to say I have finished converting my Fiesta RS to a cossie intercooler and I'm gonna show you how I did it

And then you can just look at pics and admire the car

First of all I would like to say thanks to Moondust FRST. Without seeing a pic of his GRS IC pic I would never have got my idea in the first place. Cheers dude

Second my aim was to increase the cooling and IC performance by getting bigger items, but without messing up the looks of my car. I think what I have done is a good blend of looks and styling, but let me know what you all think too.

The project conception, some crap scrawls on a bit of notepaper


Then the design that poor Graham at GRS had to work with lol. Aint windows paint a quality app?

The finished product back from GRS. Amazing considering what I gave him to work with haha


Next I had to get my car like moondusts. The reason being when you remove the front valence I noticed on his car a small lip of metal that I quickly realised could be used to weld a shelf too. So off with my bumper and valence


Rough cut, but you can see the metal lip I was talking about


Now a quick test to see how my cossie intercooler would fit


Next fast forward a few weeks and I have had my shelf welded into place and I have spray painted it


And here is the IC and rad in place. Unfortunetly my measurements for Graham were out so I sent the stuff back to him afterwards and he sorted them all out for me


And here are the pics of the finished result of my work. Tooks months to come to this which is why I am sharing it with you. Hopefully you might get some idea's of your own from it



Look at all that room! No fan getting in the way


New layout


Rear mounted XR2i fan. Having an XR2i shell worked in my favour. The mounting wholes were already there so only an hours extra work cutting and drilling was needed to get that in place


Overhead view




Obviously the number plate get's in the way a bit, but I dont mind as I wanted the new IC to be stealth anyhow. I can always remove the plate for track runs anyhow.

So what do you all reckon?
