Got the car for nothing and with a grand in my pocket thought i would build a car as i had 2 weeks without work lol

Got the shell painted and engine in in the two weeks and have just got the litte bits to sort.

Engine is rs1800, rs 2000 manifold, r6 carbs built by jekyl and hyde and megajolt management mapped by jekyl and hyde.

 

Impressive work very clean & subtle

 

yea liking that very nice

 

Cheers guys

 

Very cool mini sleeper!!

 

Street sleeper, well sweet

 

That's awesome

That must be a lot of fun for not a lot of money

 

that looks nice top work

 

It is now it has been setup and mapped. They did a spot on job.

 

I bet it is. I love cars like this. There's people on this forum who spend more on one component than you've spent on the whole thing, and yet I still bet you get just as many grins out of this.

Budget cars are the way forward

 

Oh hell yeah, i totally agree too mate.

Don't get me wrong i can see why people like to spend Ł1000's on their car but i don't like the way people take it sooooooo serious lol... like all the tuner wars that are always going on.

Tom from Jekyl and hyde that done mine is starting up a nice little firm and really knows his stuff and just wants to get the word out.

This was his first go with bike carbs and done a fantastic job.

It's a bloody good grin this motor and for no money really.

 

Quality job there, looks really good

 

Thats mint well done fella

 

Thanking you kindly people.

 

spot on job matey, thats an inspiration that! not to keen on the black pots tho......

 

Had steels on for a week lol.... Pots went on to get it through the mot but just kept with them as they add to that look ya know.

 

looks awesome! love it.

 

great job there
looks

 

this is the sort of thing I want to do. Little clean fiesta with a nice bit of go! lovely

 

Do it mate... i had never changed a brake pad before this lol..... it really was easy to do and the parts are easy to get hold of.

If you need any info or help let me know fella.

 

Really top job, looks ace.

 

Cheers fella... just watched your vid what you got running in your.... obviously turbo lol

 

That was just running 118 horses worth of RS turbo power. But at 729 kg, was running easy sub 1 minute laps at the time.

Tis now on a high comp turbo 2.0 ZVH.

If I was going to do it all again I would prob go for a fairly stock 2.0 Zetec on TB's or 45's, and save myself a Łmillion on blown turbos and everything that goes with them.

Try and keep it on 13"s, black pots look good, steels with trims even better! And get a nice Popular Plus 1.1 sticker for the back. Purple I think it should be!

 

Excellent mate.

Must admit the responce from these carbs is untrue so so quick on pick up.

Going to stick mine on a weigh bridge and a set of rollers to see what the old girl is running and weighing.

Oh and its a Fiesta dash.... lol was going to get fiesta unpopular lol

 

loving the car mate very impressive

 

Very nice mate


Brian

 

Haha awesome stuff, just what i wanna do one day! Any fab work needed to the shell to get the engine in, or did it just slot staight in?

 

Superb little car !!!

 

If you were to use a zetec 421 manifold then no mate none.

 

Well i killed my first gearbox lol... went sunday afternoon but glad to say i had another one in by sunday night

Anyway a few odds and sods sorted.

 

Wicked little fester you have there Fella and buy the sound of it, it dont really owe you a penny, to think i paid more for my Calipers/bells and disks than you paid to build a whole car,

Credit to you fella love it

 

Shakey Jake, how did you install your rear strut brace? i have a deep impact socket but the strut keeps turning. There's no way of tightening the bolt and hold the thread still at the top.. how did you get around this problem???

 

Luckily mine didnt spin mate.... just done up with a nut gun.

Not realy a way round it without a nut gun fella.

 

Nice work!! Cool little motor

 

Cheers fella.

Shame you guy's don't do grudge match's lol..... Me and a pal are kind of up for one.

 

Cool Car!

 

awsome work. would look great with the unpopular badge on the boot

 

Thanking you kindly.

 

looks spot on mate love every thing about it

 

I love it.I love the exhaust too cause it just loooks standard.
