What mods have people got on the cards for the 2006 season??

Mines having bodywork touch-ups done at the moment and soon to be fitted with the 3dr cos rims just waiting for the 195/45's

 

2006 .....

finish restoration, build new engine, new gearbox, new brakes, new wheels

in other words finish my "brand new" FRST

 

mines also in the bodyshop getting some touch ups, lowered the front a bit more, fitted a laguna splitter, re- located the front number plate.

And lots of polishing, ready for a cruising summer.

Would have had your morettes to if i had enough money

 

They have gone now mate, shame they would have looked mint on your car.

I'm well looking forward to FITP, There seems to be loads of standard and mint looking fiesta's popping up everywhere at the moment

Praying for SUN

 

i wish my car was as mint as you guys, i have hardcore rot around my filler cap and i need to get 2 new door before i even think of showing it so there will be no fitp for me this year. i am however going to rwyb on april the 8th or 9th should be cool

 

Fiesta is going to get a decent intercooler and some proper stoppers as 200bhp with stock brakes is slightly worrying

 

cant wait either dude

 

I worry with mine and i'm 40 brake down on you steve.

 

1. get new bonnet painted that is currently in my room lol
2. cossie stoppers
3. get 200 bhp at lower boost
4. replace a few bits like, side reps, drivers doorcard etc etc just to get her MINT again.
5. full underside rebuild (late summer)

eventually
6. 2.1 ZVH with hybrid t3 and aftermarket managment.

 

I have a few but they wont all get done this year

1. full respray
2. uprated gearbox
3. rear disc converstion
4. maybe 280bhp worth of ZT as Im getting bored with the 2ltr already and need more power

 

Fit roll cage and 6 point harnesses ive had sitting about for 3 months and remove the shitty Halfords bonnet pins that rust within 24hrs and replace with some Sparco pins.

Then get some more track days in

 

next couple of weeks:

engine out
erst clutch
erst box
new mounts
new loom+ecu
ally dash

summer:

2.0 zetec, provisionally bought the engine and some ARP bolts, heads getting worked, cams reprofiled, bottom end balanced and rebuilt by yours truely, bought some bike throttle bodies for it and will run it on MS.

when the mots up in october its coming off the road for winter for:

front wings off for A pillar repairs
new rear 1/4 panel
new front wings,
fibreglass panels
respray
tubular rose jointed suspension setup.


gonna be a busy and expensive year for me

 

Am not going into details but lets just say watch this space

 

sell my zetec turbo engine
sell my quaife box

stick a standard 1.6cvh back in it and sell it

 

this week put my new engine in 1600 cvh with an escort s2 box

later in the year mint the body work up and go for a t3 convertion and 200bhp on cossie management or something along them lines lol
