Well after SCC becoming clives surrogate home for 14 weeks, she is finally back at her proper home where she belongs!

Poor old rob and rich having me nagging them day in and day out to get the car done, i think they are chuffed to bits that the car is finally gone!

Well, after a few minor 'teething' problems she is at home now being run in, so that i can get the uprated fuel pump put on and get the boost turned up even more!

I think ( correct me if im wrong rich or rob ) shes running approx 300 bhp at the moment, but will hopefully be running a tad more than that soon!

So, thankyou to EVERYONE on this board who put up with me moaning, and trying to help me find bits and bobs for the car!

But anyway ill shut up now and show ya some piccies!

 

Good work lads!!! Maria, you coming out with us all in Liverpool on 31st July?? You can show us clive in the flesh then

 

cool as, lovely motor!!!

 

Congrats Girlie. What was it in for originally?

I can't wait to get mine back

Youve had a weber conversion whilst you were at it i see

 

Quick question Stu............... How the hell can you tell whats been done from there???

Is it the lack of coil or am I missing something?

 

Now that looks a lot better under the bonnet

 

pon if it takes you that long to do a big turbo convertoin then i will work on your car at the same pace
the expect your car 2005

 

wey hey glad u got her back maria! eventually!

she is lookin sweet & am sure u will like big turbo power a lot more than small lol!

 

Absolutly top motor you must have been gutted when it was off road

 

glad its back

should have mine up and running soon too

 

Coil's sat on the inner wing

No mass airflow sensor, turbo and earlier camcover (although later cover can be kept) point to a Marrelli 'big turbo' conversion.

 

bit faster now then

 

finally back


now go enjoy, and even more so when the rest of the power is sorted

 

I was there when you picked Clive up (skinny chap with girlie hair Probably looked hungover).

Saw your motor being sorted while I was there most weekends looks sweet as

Glad you're all sorted and the motors up and running again

Top work Rob and Co.

 

Just to clarify, it hasn't been being worked on for 14 weeks!

The old engine was absolutely shot (I have pics somewhere), so it was a case of waiting on bits from suppliers/Ford/private etc etc.................

Only took a couple of weeks to get the car up and running, but it is one of the best cars we've worked on...................

Pretty much everything under the bonnet was new or rebuilt - it's gonna be a lovely car when it's running full power!

 

Oranoco................ is maria worth a squirt???

 

2005 Bloody hell Rich will have it up taken up to you cos I didn't think he'd get it finished this century


See the car many a time when I've been home.
Tis very nice, should go well now you have the big turbo conversion done.

Would love to see the final bill

 

She's a very attractive young lady IMO.

 

Looks realy nice Maria ..

 

looks good mate

 

McP - that is soooooooooooooooooooooo crass

 

pon u mardy git am not aving a go at you or scc its a privet joke between me you and eric

 

Maria,

Take it easy with the running in period.......(500 to 700 miles?).......then - see below:

And the green Bosch injectors point to 348 BHP potential

 

Doh, how could I miss them

 

Brom - I know ya bastid

Now hurry up and get my car done

 

I have one concern....the water pipe return from the turbo to header tank looks extremely close to the cambelt in this picture!!!! Other than that CLive is looking good Maria!

 

Why has a 2 wd head / ex manifold been used? Thought that was a backwards step, or is it a case of it was available. nice job btw
steve

 

wo ho nice car mate, bloody nice car

 

Nice one maria!

didn't u take it to girlracer camp couple of weeks or so ago though

It was a few hundred quid short of 8k in total! Thats including the engine, all the shiny bits labour etc etc! Needless to say its a tad more than what i was expecting! lol

Doug Stirling said:
I think the saph that the engine originally came out of was rolling roaded at 367bhp. The engine had 10,000 miles on it.

Smit said:
Did indeed! that was the day i picked it up, had a couple of 'teething' problems since then tho, so this is really the first opportunity ive had to post the details up!

 

Stop being soft. A trip to liverpool will be your running in period

 

sweet as fuck that is

 

i remember when i picked up my cossie from rob, steve and the boys after my engine left Piston no 3 on the M1 somewhere. best feeling in the world driving it back rob even gave my car a wash for me , although he didnt wash my diesal when he serviced it, hhmmmmm favourtism to cossies me thinks

top guys, top car maria and glad its all sorted

 

Steve,

If the engine had a 2wd manifold on, why would you take it off and put a restrictive 4x4 one on?

The head isn't 2wd - it's ported RS500 spec!

 

Lookin' good!

 

What on earth is girlracer camp?!

 

Mcpikie - LIVERPOOL is MILES away!!!!!! sod that!

 

it's where all the girls on GIRLRACER site go to a camp site and have a gangbang
