Got a few things planned for her but nothing major at the min as im saving up for my next project

 

Cool car mate

 

Not justin are you?

 

I really like these! Quite rare are they not?

 

Looks great

 

Some rare shit there!
Like it mate

 

Has this replaced your other focus?

 

Nope, he sold it to the fella I bought it off

Was about 25 produced in 2000 so yeah

No Ian, I've still got the shell and quite a few bits, just deciding what route to take with it

 

What bits have you got left mate? Pm if you like did you buy that pro rad off Alex?

 

Got any bay pics?
What sort of power is your set up achieving?
Looks good

 

PM on its way Ian!

nevsrevs - No pics at the minute, Will get a few this weekend, tbh its a bit bland at the min.
Was told by the previous its around 350BHP and it does feel it

 

Cool rare car you have.

 

How do you find your old brake set up to new?

 

never knew this model existed. just done some research and you got a rare cool car

 

What do you mean bud?
Its had the Brembo set-up on it since I bought it

 

I miss read when you said ap's I thought brakes.

 

Lookin good mate

 

Looking good

 

Rare ol Focus there mate - sounds a bit of a beasty too.... nice one !

 

I do have some AP's to go on though!

 

I can't help but think without the spoiler and bonnet/ lights it would be such an awesome sleeper!

Although, how rare it is and what's on it make it uber cool!

 

very rare that is looks well smart keep up the good work

 

Nice brakes.

 

Not much of an update as I've tried to calm down spending money on cars lately

But fitted new rocker cover;
Before;

During;

After;



Thanks to Big Gaz Aka rst-g for sorting that out while I supervised

Might lose the red MSD coilpack, got some powdercoated heatshields and odd bits of carbon to fit but nothing much.

and had a tinted sunstrip fitted this morning;

 

Sun strips are a bit old skool..

 

Quick pic of it all clean day before Ford Fair;

at ford fair;


So day after Ford Fair, one of the coolant pipes split and the car pissed itself. So decided to change the whole lot to Focus RS Roose ones as the way the coolant pipes ran before was a complete bodge job.


Water Temp Sensor moved from under thermostat housing into hose from stat to rad;


Had a few things powder coated while waiting for the hoses to be made and delivered;

Coil pack cleaned up and fitted to its freshly coated bracket;

Fans all build back up;

fitted with all new nuts and bolts;

And mated to its best mate (Pro Alloy Radiator);

Intercooler coated satin black;

and fitted;

Strut brace mounts coated same colour as coil pack bracket;

engine mount done the same and fitted with new Vibra Technic Road mount;

and VT gearbox mount fitted with coated battery/airbox tray;

Billet Thermostat housing fitted with RS adaptor plate for turbo feed;

Header tank freshly coated satin black;


Also relocated the battery to the boot to give more space for the breather set up, fresh MOT and 6 months Tax

Second day back on the road, sight glass on the header tank decided to give up on life and shat itself;

Luckily I had a new Ford one in the parts department! So fitted that and all good!

Got hold of some New wheels and a spare ST170 Rear beam read for the powdercoating and polybush treatment

 

This is all looking rather night

 

Hi Mate - that looks awsome. Just wanted to ask if you have any problems after moving temp sensor from thermo housing to the adapter in the rad hose?

thanks - was thinking of doing the same.
