Paul Johnson owns the car now with the engine out of his festa!

The intercooler was built buy radtec to ians dimensions. You can see better pics of how its mounted if you look at the area six company feature done about a year ago in Performance Ford mag.

I know its had a T61 like mine and Ahmed has been playing with his laptop and the took the clutch straight out of it, but I am sure that was with the engine in the festa. I think it has a TVR clutch now.

This is what got me into Focus', glad its legendary status has been continued by a top lad.....AND my old FRS wheels are still rolling on it!

I believe the current spec revolves around a hydraulic black top lump with a Turbonetics T61, eight injectors and a whole lot of stuff managed by a Pectel T2. Should equate to something around the 500bhp mark.

If I remember rightly, the clutch is a 300mm (?) AP equivelent TVR item???
