Default My FRST back on the road

After 3 months of my car being off the road due to various fuck ups with companys letting me down with parts she is now alive as from yesterday.

Spec inc:

Full rebuild with O.E ford gaskets and bolts
New oil and water pump
New tenioner
New Piston Rings
Ported and polished head
ARP bottom end
Kent cam
Stage 2 T3
4 paddle AP clutch
195 chip ( not in yet )
701's ( not in yet )
ABS gone

ALSO :

"big thanks to Ian who rebuilt my engine for me"

The car is running 7 psi still but will be going up to 26 psi when i get my cosy 4x4 brakes on

Im running the car in at the moment hence why ive not bothered gettin a front mount or an alloy rad but ill be gettin the cooler next weekend and rad week after.
here are a few pics

Fuck me sideways!!!! Thats my old Fezzy!!!

I bought it at the tail end of 2004 and had it until about October 2005 and sold it due to buying the saph in my sig!

It was totally standard when I bought it with 65k on clock at was totally mint!
I did a couple of bits to it like fitting a mongoose exhaust, k&n cone filter and some bright green samco's and was great fun to drive!!

It was honestly my favourite car out of all the cars I've owned and seriously regret selling it.

I'm happy to see she's still alive and being cared for though! Keep it up
mate! She's looking good!
