Hi
I thought i would make my own project thread, so i could get opinions and advices from here.
I have been building this car allmost four years.
It started as simple engine conversion from 1.0 to 1.6.
At some point came 1.8 zvh turbo and then full zetec turbo.



Current specs:

1.8 zetec
Wossner pistons and Eagle rods
Ported and polished head (by myself)
Focus RS inlet manifold
870cc Deka injectors
Home made exhaust manifold, 3 inch downpipe and exhaust system
Garrett T28 turbo
Megasquirt engine management
Dynoed 302hp 458nm at 1.0bar boost

Mtx-75 gearbox with Quaife diff
Clutchmasters paddle clutch and pressure plate
Aluminium flywheel
Custom made driveshafts
Modified Puma gear linkage

Gaz gha coilovers
Xr2 anti-roll bar
Rose jointed panhard rod
Sierra cosworth front calibers and rs2000 discs
Standard xr2b rear brakes
Motec 15" rally wheels
Federal semi slicks

Weld-in rollcage
Bucket seats and four point belts
Stripped interior

Future plans are to improve handling, car is mainly build to track.
Maybe Time attack series in next summer...


I'll upload more photos soon.
Hope my spelling isn't too bad

 

Looks nice

 

Sounds good, well done

 

Welcome PF, there is never too much car builders from Finland in here I´ve kept this one on eye earlier, and I still gotta say that is great to see so much of your own work in the car, espcially with rollcage and that zetec turbo conversion.

BTW does the rules in time attack allow weld in mounts to bodyshell? If I had understood it correct in rally (according AKK) those mounts to bodyshell had to be done by bolts.

Anyway good luck with rest of the built

 

cool car,love a fiesta with a zetec turbo 337 lbs of torque! damn

 

Thanks

Akk rules allow welding, but it still need to be bolted.

 

Few pics from the past:

Fully restored shell. All rust removed. Rear arches and outer sills changed.

Pretty good for a beginner




A little bit messy looking engine bay

 

Cool little car matey.
