Default My rs never ending project

This is my thread of my mk 3 FRST project.

The car






I bought it off my partners mate about 3 years ago in need of a lot of tlc, he needed rid of the car and some money and I paid over the odds for it like a mug to help him out.
The only thing that has not been touched is the outter shell lucky enough
a month before I bought it a van drove in to the back of it, and on repair he did the right thing and had the hole car resprayed. The bonnet paint was a bit flat so I had it flushed and re painted. It is dimond white with 40% blue pearl
I painted the underneath, the engine bay and had most parts that weren't new powder coated.
All new lights, window rubbers, door shuts and added a single wiper arm with the washer jets on the wiper blade.

The wheels



Same old same wheels (comps) in white 195/40/16 with good year egal F1

In side.




I painted the inside as well and laid new sound deadning.





I have the OMP theme so i will just list the inside.

OMP half cage
OMP stering wheel
No ICE
water injection tank
no seats yet or harnesses
OMP plumed in extinguisher
OMP hand held extinguisher
Mk 3.5 black dash
black carpet throw out
oil presher gage (ford racing)
Fuel pressure gage (ford racing)
Boost gage (ford racing)
volt gage (ford racing)
B&M quick shift
Quick relese steering wheel
There is all so a walter tank for the intercooler spray



A pull cord for the plumed in extinguisher in the spear wiper arm and there is one in the inside of the car.

The brakes and suspension



300mm hi specks 4 pots with bells in gold



275mm hi specks 2 pots in gold



Peddle box with twin master and home made braided hoses all round.



Pro flex bushes all round
GAZ coil overs
Front anty roll bar
Twin rear anty roll bars
Rose jointed front lower arms
Front and rear strut brases

The engine bay.

















Little spec list

GRS oil brether one off
Mini K&N
Big K&N
Pro alloy intercooler
Pro alloy 100mm extra rad
Oil cooler
Remote oil filter
Water injection pump
Pro alloy water injection tank
Stage 2 gear box
T34 turbo
Turbo smart fuel pressure reg
Turbo smart blow off valve
Turbo smart 38mm ex wastegate
Single air injector
Titanium exhast rap for the down pipe and screemer pipe
Titanium turbo blanket
2.1 ZVH burton power engine
RS 1800 front engine mount
Turbo cooler

That's the list so far but funds are low at the mo. Any comments or suggestions will all be good and I will up date as an when.

I think the bumper and the fact that it makes it stand out so much
is what made me fall in love with this car so much
When my friend said he was going to have to sell it I couldn't let anyone else have it so nagged Jamie to buy it lol
