Some works of art in this thread, really inspirational and useful to see the variety of ways people lay their bays out.

Also loving the standard example, looks fresh as foook!

Muz, I presume the Yellow brakes are controversial then?
What size brakes are on the front?

Yes, mate, they certainly split opinion! They are standard Focus Rs Brembos on the front with a standard 325mm(?) disc and Evo 8 Brembos on the rear on a 310mm disc.

i work for sitech so ive fitted haltech to a few motors. ive fitted sprint500 to a mk1 FRS and its going really well. we did another mk1 but that was on plat2000 with all the extras, which went on to do 515bhp.

i think the sprint500 might be my next up grade and ditch the old gotech.

thanks nik

No it's a custom made fuel rail Gus. Bespoke to my old nail...

It's not moved since August and I'm still waiting on some bits before I can get it mapped properly. I bought a battery conditioner/charger to stop it keep going flat. Just renewed the tax on it half an hour ago on line!

I'm starting from scratch with my brakes as I can't stop them binding but I am just waiting for a set of brake bells and brackets to turn up. I've got everything else.

Yes the ECU is massively complicated. I had to get it running from a totally unsuitable map that wouldn't even start the car. I've got it going and managed to set it up enough to drive it on boost and travel to Santa Pod in it. Had a few issues to work round and iron out of the map but it's getting there. If I had the time I'd carry on playing with it but I'm just too busy with work, hence why once it's ready I'm letting MSD finish it off.

The brakes are binding slightly and over braked on the rear. The back steps out if you're on even the slightest bend and for some reason that I can't find, they stick on and get hot and bind.
