Anymore info on the car, looks interesting

 

Is this an AVA car

 

Yep built by AVA. On Mondeo 4x4 running gear using motor bike throttle biddies with dark greens T34 RS500 inter cooler Omex ecu, on Leda coilovers front brakes are 345mm with 4 pot Brembos rears 315mm with cosworth calipers. Power not know yet still running in

 

Does it have a custom AVA exhaust?

Is it Very low comp?

Whats the funny engine mount for? (Left hand side of engine bay)

It Will be pretty fast if the 4x4 transfer box can handle the power

 

car still needs to be sprayed but you get the idea

 

Yep 4" up the front and 3" all the way back with curved exit pipe just peaking from bumper I'll post a rear pic, AVA took the engine mount and inner wing section from the Mondeo I guess it makes it more stable, not going to run silly power through it or rag it in lower gears I've waited to long for the conversion to be finished to brake it now.

do you have an underside pic?

How did it take 9 and a half years?

 

I remember the car well from when I used AVA, nearly 10 years

 

More pics here http://s1143.photobucket.com/albums/...%20Conversion/
it would take to long to explain why it took so long all that matters is it's home now!!

 

Glad to see this car coming back better than ever by the looks of it

 

Have you got any more plans for it, or do you just want to use it now?

 

The original idea was to show it in modified class RSOC but after having a near fatal motor bike accident in 2005 my life has changed, I physically wouldn't be able to keep it in show standard condition but maybe a club stand? would still like people to see it & just enjoy driving it. Be nice to attend the shows again not been to any since the car went for the conversion.

Starting to fill up.

 

looking good dude

 

Merlin that looks awesome, would love to use the 4x4 running gear in mine!

Muz you tart, stop dusting it and get it on a track looks good though mate.

 

Lol, fond(ish) memory's of mine like this a couple of years ago. Amazing how easy every thing is to work on with no engine

 

Muz - that bay is cool! Nice work... Who made your braided fuel hoses?

 

Theres not an awful lot left to do, it's just having the time and money. I'm my own worst enemy, though. I'm never happy. Like all the fuel hoses, I've hardly used them but want Aeroquip now. Same with the rear suspension. It's fine as it is, but won't be happy untill it's multi linked. I had a bolt in 6 point cage, then sold it straight away as I wanted a proper weld in etc
It won't be a museum piece, however. It will be used hard on track, hard, don't you worry.

A bloke on eBay called 'rscustomhoses'.

 

Good to hear it mate Its going to be a monster. Im Aeroquiping mine over winter. Just working out which fittings i need... and whether or not to keep the oem steel lines and use compression fittings to clamp onto them...

 

gonna be an expensive winter then

 

I've got to resist spending on mine due to going away on Jan 8th for 28 weeks. Won't have much time to work on it.

 

sorry lads just realised its rs turbo s1 s2 engine bays rs but wrong mark

 

now thats a holiday:bee rfriends:

 

A holiday....in Catterick...with the Parachute Regiment

 

got proper beasted there many moos ago

 

Para Reg or Line Infantry?

 

With the aeroquip? not sure yet i've only been brave enough to look at a few prices lol. Im hoping it won't be too bad, especially if i stick with the ford metal lines, probably half the amount of hose i need then...

28weeks Muz! shit me thats a long shift lol.

Rob,

 

was with the toy army

was told i could say what i want to who i want in the mess room
