Bloodyhell, it runs ok on MFi managment?!

I take it by what you say, its already got the floorpan etc modified for RWD has it?

Fair play tho, the kit reminds me of Mk2 X-pack kit

right,

runs fine on MFi cos its volvo2.3 and merc 2.5 fuel system mix and match

engine will be high comp zetec running T35hybrid for the minute.
the saffy engine will be going in eventually when (not if, lol) the zetec goes pop and i`ve built the all new improved saffy motor

dont want to order wheels untill the tunnel and back axle is fitted (next month. ) due to offset differences.

wheels will be black/polished compomotive CX`s 16" diamiter and hopefully 8.5 rear and 8 inch wide fronts

Looks hysterical with the big arches and the standard track width - should be 10 times better once that is sorted.

i cant fit "big" wheels but can fit "wide" due to arches being mega wide but having small openings where the wheel would be, if you know what i mean...............

thaught about fitting 7x13 capri RS 7 spokes for the minute, might actually look OK??????!!!!!!!!!!!!!
been messing about on photoshop and i dont think to looks too crap to be honest!

seen loads of gartracs fitted with these also, dont look 2 bad IMO.


i will keep you lot posted on the wheels side of things!

alright jase,
when i got that turbo technics RS16i of jock it was quick but before i nacked it i manadged to squeeze 170bhp at wheels after a few tweeks, thats the one that was in fast ford a few year ago.

had cossie out over weekend, running sparco buckets and black 17"rims, looks hard as fook now, pop in and i`ll take you out in a propper car
im busy porting another head and matching my 8injector manifold to it.

should be easily 500plus brake with this new turbo + external wastegate /head/cams setup.........
i`ll be at work all week cos trev is off, breaking a illusion kit`d RST now so come in if you need any bits, dunno what spec it is as engine/turbo is still fitted.

Sean.
