Hi everyone i've started to finalise the finshing touches on my fiesta rs turbo. had a newman cam with mechanical follwers and set the timing up on the vernier. had it rolling road tuned and produced 227bhp and 245lb ft torque. on 14 lgb boost which has now bin turned to just over 1 bar about 16lb. i'm having the engine bay repainted and inside the bonnet also another full respray due to wax in the paintwork from before it was painted by a friend who is a spayer by trade and works for a coach painters. the plan was to just paint the sides again but my mate said we might aswell fully hit it again so ive started to strip it ready for painting again. and also repair the wiring loom as some one before myself has bodged the wiring loom and there 2 many positive feeds the heaters blow even if key isnt in ignition, and move the battery to the boot. here are somer pics of the striping so far:

Absolute transformation, looks very nice lee - thought you were going after a cossie mate???

jfrst

cheers jay mate yeah it is abit scary when there's nothing there its worth it though it should be on the road in the next few months the bodywork will be shinier than it was and the engine bay gleaming. including the inside of the bonnet. and loads of chrome and red roose hose kit boost water ancillary and the intercooler pipes that stick out the front of the car. new alarm hopefully cliffoord with intelligent start turbo timer new gauges fitted the phantom ones they look daper in the dark she will be ready for that mag featue. the lad who owned it and spent loads of money on her rich xr2i1800. had got a mag feature just needed to get the filler cap done but he sold it. so i'm pretty sur that its worth a feature now watcha think. do everyone like the wheels i love em there different.
