I foooooookin love em!

Im stupidly considering another project, does anyone know any good sources for parts? it would have to have the round XR lights so i need a good source for parts, i know they are proper rare!

I presume fitting an RS Turbo engine isnt too much of a nightmare! anyone done it? what was involved?


any extra info would be top

 

Here's a bit of inspiration for you, my mate's heavily modified Mk1 Fez

 

Fitting the 5speed BC gearbox mean removing some of the engine bay metal work and a bit of bracing. The Fiesta Centre in Norwich used to sell a kit for this

 

I found this one on www.thefiesta.com : http://www.thefiesta.com/galleries/m...mk1car36.shtml

Or look out for "Bomber" in this forum!



Or you go the classic way, 1700, twin 40's:

 

i have a mk1 xr2 with a full zetec engine in!!!

get over to xrtwo.com mate, ul get parts and stuff on there!!

sum pics of mine;

 

this is mine mate

 

Holy shit! how cool are all of those!

Thanks lads! looks like im on the hunt for another project then!

 

some phat motors there!!!!

 

my work in progress.watch this space....2.1 16vturbo'd candy apple red baby's on its way

 

is that photoshopped?? looks well if thats your vision for yer project fella

 

 

no mate.thats not photoshopped. thats what it looked like before i stripped it down ready for the spraypaint

 

Awesome examples here.

 

yeah??? well if thats the case you let me know when your done

 

will be a good few months yet till the car is finished,but will let you know mate

 

No worries im looking into one at the moment! it'll be a couple of years before ill be happy with it if i buy it!

 

hopefully mine wont take that long
Ive already got a load of bits for it inluding enough tvr candy apple red paint to paint two of my cars

 

This is my one, Its a bit different now, I have got rid of the 17s, in the pic, got black 15s for it, Also fitted a high spec 1.9 turbo engine! as the last one went up in smoke!

Oh and its up forsale! Maybe













Hope you like!!!!!!

 

i put a bid in on this on ebay ages ago.........THE BLOKE WAS A RIGHT MESSER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!

 

i bet that drove well well SHIT on them 17"s ?????????????????

 

that was the first thing we both said id rip off and throw in the bin if i'd bought it.like i said the owner seemed a right messer.it was advertised as BUY NOW Ł2500,which was expensive for what it was...........it had no m.o.t,buy the matey said he'd put one on for the buy now price.I told him give us a few days to wait for my loan money to come through.When i had the money i went on to ebay click on the buy now price.............HE'D REMOVED THE BUY NOW OPTION . The auction was due to end at about 00.20 in the morning.the car had only made about Ł1800 quid with 5mins to go.my bro puts in a bid for me of about Ł2650 (which was way over what i wanted to pay for it anyway...........and guess what..... I WAS OUT BID!!!!!!!.I was out bid by someone who had opened a NEW EBAY ACCOUNT AT 2355!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now tell me,whats the chance of a brand new account holder giong straight out and spending Ł2700 on a mk1 fez,ON A SUNDAY NIGHT,AT FUCKIN MIDNIGHT????????????????????????? THE GEEZER blatently bid on his own car.After id lost the bid,i was glad,cos i wouldnt of felt happy buying such an old car,FROM A MESSER.Who knows what id found on it when i got it home.
IT was sort of fate in a way,cos i was planning on giving the money to the bank.....but the next dayWAS ACE CAFE night,and i fell in love with,and very quickly bought this as it was up for sale

 

Yeah you could say you did the right thing, I bought it for 2300, I had to trailer it home cos I wasnt driving all the way to aberdeen on a fiesta with 17s! the engine didnt last a week, blow up!, It sailed its MOT tho!!!! LOL,

I would pretty much say it was the worst car I had driven with the 17s, But now with the 15s and a few suspension mods its alot better.

So fitted after the engine going bang I put in a 1.9 engine and spent a heap of money on it and its making a good 220bhp, and all the faults have gone!

 

Phil Whitmores car rears its head again i see First saw that at FordFair 2000.

Have you sorted the rot on the door frame? New pics of it would be great

Seeing as we're posting pics:




You could say my car is Phils car evil twin

 

Bomber- Lovin yours mate!


i was thinkin about a black one but after seeing silver you got me thinkin! VERY cool!


all i need now is a rot free shell!

 

Yeh its his old car! both our cars look bloody alike!
I take it you have a large spec under the bonnet? Care to share whats under it?!

As for the Rot It was at the top of both the doors, and is in the process of getting sorted!! But apart from that I think I have fixed everything possible!

 

sorry to hear bout the engine mate,like i said i knew it would have been a bad buy.
I WOULD BE WELL GUTTED having a ONE OFF car,knowing that theres another one that looks almost identical id be getting mine in the spraybooth sharpish...
chaps100 what does 220 bhp go like??????and have you got any up to date pics????

 

gettin scared son

 

not at all mate................just wondered what 200bhp's like in the mk1's so i can calculate what 300+bhp will be like,then again you'll get to see what its like for a split second...............
but then again in you bad boy mk6 zetec escort............you wont see shit

 

yer my bad boy escort that will munch your feista turbo LOL how shamed would you feel that cost you alot more than my escort cost me

 

the day my mk1 fez turbo gets munched by your shody escort,is the day i smash my car straight into a wall,get out,and leave it there.I AINT GONNA HAPPEN,weather it be you escort,or some shody rst that you buy

 

LOL i wasnt on bout you 1.1 MK1 my minimoto would beat that crummer i would like to see what that mk1 is like under all the expanding foam in then gti arches!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ha ha ha ha

 

AT least my car HAS ARCHES.........no superglue and mastick holdong my ford toghther.....like i said,yours i DONE AND DUSTED.........

 

yer its got german arches over rusty old ford ones and my motor never had glue holdin it together like yours

 

the rusty old ford ones were cut off and replaced by DECENT METAL>>>>>>
stop kidding yourself,there was glue all over the place and you know it. Your petrol cap had enough filler/fibreglass in it to make a life size scale OF MYSELF..............AND THATS SAYING SOMETHING!!!!!!!lol
you should have made a body kit out of it instead then you could of compared your bad boy bodykit,with the bad boy corsas up at guildford cruise.....YOU would of looked the part mate

 

Goes not to bad, First gear can be a bit of a handful, infact most the gears can be but its to be expected.
I had a wee sport with my bird off a roundabout (private road) she was driving a Evo 8 FQ300,its running about 320bhp It was from about 35mph upto about 110, shes not a bad driver and the fiesta was side by side all the way, Maybe a better driver in the evo and less wheel spin from me, would have been a better indication, but i was happy!

As for the pics, im offshore just now, and dont have any out here, but when I get back I will post some more up!

300BHP in a mk1, that will be loads of fun!! What engine set up you going for?

 

Current spec:

Brand new Zetec Blcok bored out for 2.1 litres
Focus WRC Forged Rods
Forged Pistons
Ferriday Engineering FRST head
Piper 285T Cam
Grey Injectors
WRC Spec loom
Twin ignition Amps
Dizzyless ignition
Anitlag
P8 Ecu with Pectel daughter board
Stage 3 T3 hybird .45 inlet 0.63 exhaust
Stainless Cold air intake with Cosworth RS500 Group A K&N
Spec R Header Tank and Water swirl pot
Custom oil breather
Greddy BOV
HKS Rear Muffler

Lots of other bits and bobs - mainly all custom built.

Needs its cranks seal doing as its been leaking since i picked it up from Field Motorsport, and it needs a map to get it through the MOT. Once its been run-in Field Motosport are confident its well over 300bhp.

Even now it tears my arms off when it comes on boost and thats only at 6psi... final boost should be 18psi.

If you want to get more ideas and general Mk1 chitchat get onto:

Would be good to get Phil's old car on the board

 

why didnt you put zetec head on?????????????????

 

The Zetec head and CVH head both have different pros and cons.

I personally like the power delivery the ZVH produces. It really depends upon how your driving style and what characteristics you want from your engine.

 

oh yer i agree with pros and cons with both heads and same with bottom ends i personaly like the 1600 cvh engine produces owesome power with the right comp, head/cam, turbo and a few other bits my old fez tub was very laggy up to 4000rpm then ALL! power all the way up to 7000rpm was such a buzz trying to holding it on the road

 

Hmmm..... FOOKING great spec! 300bhp, that will be loads of fun!, what are you using the car for? Drag, track or just fun on the road?

I will try and sign up to that site see who else has monster mk1s!!
