Here it is, had it away but not realy looked after it, so i bought some RS alloys and ive decided im going to clean it up and keep it nice even though its only for 2 and from work. Im going to keep it cheap as possible using what i have from my previous SI to make it sweet.

Going to fit my 150bhp 1.8 rs zetec engine out of my cosi project as my 1.6 engine had nakerd valve stem seals so that will solve the smoke problem nicly

Also want to get my hands on a chear Turbo body kit i can stick on to finish the rs theme and to make use of my Genuine turbo bonnet of my old si



it stayd like that for awhile only difference was the tsw wheels

crap pic but



then i got these new wheels on saturday



much improvement over the tsws



one fitted, god i hate changing shocks with rust bolts



all four done now this is how she is sitting now not a supercar but not bad for a work car

 

Do like the si

 

Liking that matey looks sweet really miss my old xr2i, Gotta say though i like the new rims more without centre caps

 

nice looking Si

the wheels look spot on as well


i should really get a post about mine up

 

just tried to get my weels tracked but they couldnt fit the tracking gauges in because its too low due to the tyres.

im a bitted gutted now, im either going to have to take the lowering springs of/get new tyres/roll the arch's? what do you recon?

my last tyres were 195/45/15 my new ones are 195/50/15's as thats what came on them

what do you guys recon

 

done some more work on fiesta as mot is coming up

took the 1.6 out and replaced it with the 1.8 as the 1.6 was burning oil.
sorry about the poor pics it gets dark to soon these days

engine out, was such a ball ache





cleaned up the 1.8 (has a new rocker cover on, also waiting on more engine parts



fitted a new cat convertor, filters and did a engine flush etc so shes running sweet

all i have to do is fit the turbo brakes, fit the matching ecu and chip then im going to send her to get serviced/checked over

got a exhaust on its way too

oh and fiesta turbo bumpers to go with my bonnet of my previous fiesta

should look good when done

 

 

lookin good mate , i love my 2.0ltr si , as for the trackin most proper places should have one that goes on the rim not round the tyer? lest are 2 lazer liners at work do have one from rims 13" - 18" and from for 18+

 

bit of a update not updated in awhile, its only making slow progress as i realy cba with it as i need to focus on my escort but i keep spending money on it...

Going down the track car route so ill get my use out of her doing the odd few laps around tracks.

So i bought this:

Ford puma racing seat + sparco 3point harness



Couldnt find a matching seat then these came up =D

Got them for a steal! just need a clean up and my name being stiched in,







got a few more bits but no pics, will get it done and get some proper pics, these pics are a bit crap

 

 

Looking smart


Brian

 

bit of a update.

Painted some parts:

Bumpers and bonnet, the bonnet caught some overspary while i was painting the bumpers so its a bit "dusty" hopefully when ive flattend the laquer and polished it it will look spot on 8)





more carbon!! battery cover, pod holder and viper induction (took the shouty red anodizing of and painted it mallard green :devil: )



RS Crossover ,much better than the turbo one as well... it aint turbo haha



Also got hold of these which a rare as fook, alot of bmw drivers cant get hold of them, but my mate works for bmw so got them for free, either that or they were being binned!!! sell for about Ł140 on pistonheads im lead to belive!

bmw m3 csl bumper splitters






which way do you recon looks the best?

1

updated copied from fiesta turbo.com

not generating much intrest in this thread

but i gave her a clean before i changed to my turbo bumpers



quick pick of it fitted

 

few more pics of some bits ive got, not showing of the sparcos just yet :bonkers:

cult power chip



rpm + vacuum peak guages







and a focus rs rocker cover, didnt know they were plastic though

 

been messing a bit today and test fitted the m3 splitters

whats your opinions on these?

 

im not too sure yet tbh, dont think they fit right.

done some more work today.

sorted out my engine bay, nout fancy but looks smart imo, had to do a bodge with the samcos as its all demon tweeks had in but it will do. Also had to move the battery behind my seat as the induction took up too much room. The position of the battery is only tempory. Any have any better ideas where to put it or what battery to get?

I also fitted a 2.0 mondeo maf so its reving abit higher atm, does anyone know how to tweek it?





Funnel, i know it looks gay but i put it there as im not keen on taking out a fog light and i couldnt get the pipe to go in the centre of the bumper where theres a gap for a intercooler as it was too tight. on the plus side i have a spare funnel that has been painted the same colour as my car so hopefully it wont be as obvious. Still function over looks eh



where the battery is atm



now the moment you have all been waiting for.....

















CARBON FIBRE SPARCOS!!!! :devil: :aviator: :devil: :aviator: :devil: :aviator: :devil: :aviator:

 

bit of a update

nearly ready for track, just need a rollcage and coil overs now!

finaly got my omp wheel





i think the dish is a bit much but ill get used to it, my fingers carnt reach the indicator stalks now haha

also got me some 195/45/15 toyo proxes so i can lower my car again

 

see what intrest these pics gain

car faild on quite minor things, corroded brake lines, head light fixing snapped, wheel bearing etc nout major

so i decided to strip the whole lot and get it buftyish

petrol tank has come off, so has rear beam being painted up to prevent further rust

how my car stands now



decided to clean the underside and hammerite the lot!





pics dont do it much justice, ill get some more pics when i get it up a ramp

i also had these pi shocks what i had on my escort mk5, i think there the same fitment although the oil might be slightly heavier but im willing to give them a try till i get my coilovers in a few weeks



striped



painted, again only hammerite but 20x better than before



also stripped out all the soundproofing.... what a crap job that was :x





now onto the parts ive collected

area 6 wish bones brand new 72quid bargin! :devil:





Euro lights from germany :P



smoked sides to match, still trying to get front indicators in smoke if anyone can help?



Mongoose s/s straight through exhaust + flexi





4 branch manifold to go with :devil:



blue exhaust wrap to match my samcos



perspex windows :devil:



just gotta try to find a way to lock the sliding window, if not ill get a new peice of perspex to bolt over when not needed



track wheels





also polysport exhaust mounts, rear anti rollbar mounts and omp bonnet pins.

got given the bonnet pins and anti rollbar mounts of a lad up the road who used to have a track fiesta so thats pritty cool.. if anyone has 2 spare arb bush's (the orange ones) please let me know and i can do a twin anti roll bar conversion :aviator:

 

Where u get the wheels???

 

Brian

 

Your going to need some fruity hubcentric spacers for those wheels - they are a mad offset.

Focus 99 - WRC fitment. Bigger hub bore too.

 

looks a great project.......

 

im gonna get some custom made ones, think its going to be fairly easy tbh has the offset isnt as wide as the wheels i have atm, so i will have room to play with spacers

if i carnt make a spacer theyll be back on ebay lol

 

thanks for the comments guys more to come i have coilovers and a cage lined up so all is going well atm!

good old ebayy

 

looking good

 

Awesome project fella

 

just need a turbo konversion ;P
great job ;P

 

ive thought about it but it will mess with reliability and i have another project to finish

 

This should be very good on track - central RS had a track day at mallory last year and a lad had a virtually standard one of these (actually Stu @ MSD's old car!) and it flew! Embarrassed my old 200 bhp RST all day!

If you ever break it I want your seats...........

 

yeh im dying to get it on the track to see what its made of then i can improve it where its needed

haha its getting picked apart already! haha

guess howmuch i paid for em

 

As said about them wheels.... and is the battery going to be bolted down

 

Great project

 

i dont think the wheel spacers will be a probelm chip, i know a enginner who works on manchester uni and hes done a few custom bits for me in the past... just not had time to go see him yet

As for the battery that was a tempery, will be getting proper cable and routing it properly straight to the boot.

Also will be gettign a race battery at somepoiint

thanks twins will be updated in a few weeks

 

am luving it

 

great project will be great when finished

 

that will look sweet as mate with them wheels on

 

thanks for the possivtive comments guys

done some more stipping out today, headliner, rear speakers and cut a few bits of metal of i no longer need

all of the sound proofing remains has been taken of now, going to sweep up the crap in a sec and fiberglass any holes that are no longer needed

 

just had a idea

ive wanted a different spoiler for a while, nothing mad or chav but something abit more diffined.

what do you think to something like this molded into the orignal spoiler then all coverd in carbon fibre?

anyone good at photoshop who wants to mock it up?

 

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.d...m=260239446024

mmm ap's :P

 

bit of a update, hammerited the inside of my car.. was going to spray it but couldnt be arsed as im going to but acoustic carpet down to try and keep the noise down and a bit of warmth in the winter

I think ive used about 2liters of hammerite on this car haha, wont be getting tin worm for at least 5years anyway! haha

hammerited all the arch's too, hammerite isnt the prittyist but it works :devil:





also got rid of the old rusty battery tray, nearly lost my hand with the angle grinder in the process lmao



also finaly got some rs skirts

primerd



painted



i must admit i think im getting quitr handy with the spray gun now

Got some bonnet raisers as i had spare paypal money and thought id try them





will get a better pic when shes back on her wheels

also some braided brake lines



also got some AP 4pot calipers and rs2000 rear discs :P ill update later on them :aviator:
