Had a pretty eventful morning...

was at AVA for a bitmore testing of the breather and a check up..

the car made 410 ATW with over 50 degree charge temps, its soooo hot today...

would love to see what it would make on a colder day..

the car also caught fire after the run i had disturbed the heat sheild while fitting the breather, needless to say i was panicing bigtime

Big thanks to colin and alan for staying calm and getting it out without it causing much damage.

A melted throttle cable wwas all that had to be sorted.

Anyway the verdict on the breather is................chuck your bailey ones in the bin

its the way it comes out of the corners that it gets me...

it has a t38 so less lag.

its a 4x4 and had cut slicks on so he was carrying alot more speed than me out the bends...

also has a closer ratio box.

its a quick wee thing!

after my fire on saturday it thought i better sort a proper heat sheild...

Tom at AVA sorted me out with a brand new escos one for nowt

he even modified it to fit my car!

i fitted it tonight.



bolted it to the air box.


also while testing on the rollers we noticed that the airbox was being sucked in by the turbo... a bit of a bottle neck then

cut a bit out the front to try and free the restriction up


sorry for copying you mike

cant beleive that fiesta passed you, i just about choked when you told me! its must be fkin mental if its passing you

you were right when you said the heat shield doesnt look as good but if its safer then what the hell

Chop- the fiesta is some ex mag feature car from down south, proper piece of kit as far as i know, someone in falkirk has bought it.

my bro will sort you out with more info


lets hope the down pipe gives u more power euan!

a guy from falkirk bought the car off ebay and his son now drives it about.

lucky bas is only 18

the car was built by devil sport and has a A1 rallysport 450 engine.

was timed by pf at brunters and did a 3.4 to 60 and 8 sec to 100 with a aborted top speed run of 160 ish...so you know its a quick fooker...



heres a few piccies chop

You need to get some proper timing gear on your car and stop quoting all this "it should be", but you're YELLA .
