Default H979HHC Fiesta RS Turbo... 14th Aug 08 Update

What have I done!...

Just picked up my new project... a H-reg, Radiant Red Fiesta RS Turbo, it was dark.. but I couldn't wait to post pics





Its got one of these weird RS spoilers.... thats coming off



Fuel cap looks ok





Not seen a standard one of these for a while



The wheels people love to hate



Was happy with the interior apart from a hole in the dash but i'll sort that



55k



It had one of these Turbodisplay.com things never seen one before anyone know anything about them?



Engine bay was nice



Pro Alloy rad



Obligatory Bailey dump valve



Bailey Breather



Piper Airfilter



Mint Jack



Battery tray was surprising mint



ECU was still sealed



What you think guys

What?

I asked you what sort of power, similar to last time? and you said No, about 250+ more bhp! so more like 500 - 550!

HAHAHA!!! LOVE IT!

I KNEW you'd do it one day!

Roll on the good 'ol days. I remember the sh!t that we went through back in those days eh mate. Turning up at 2am at hotels the night before racing with just a few hours of kip. All of those lastminute fixes and tweeks (remember when it was pitch black on the motorway on the way to TOTB II when your lights decided to go?) LOL The question is should I re-spray my new car green again for the sake of it.
The last Fast Ford shoot out was the last time we took the cars out and I remember saying to you at the start "Right Rippers....you make sure you take care of the 1/4 miles and leave the top speed to me!" and it always was the case aswell...even at TOTB against the Escorts. pmsl

Also now that we've both got the lads out of the way...well out of the way in terms of their Mum's can look after them when we go racing we can hit the scene again.

My car should see the tarmac next year with it's new engine...can't bloody wait now.
