Default whats your car plans for 2005 then?

after the niggles of change prop and steering rack (and whatever shite i find after starting it for first time in 6 month lol) a plated diff is my first priority, then i got a box rebuild, then new turbo and injectors and move over from l6 to l8 on coilpacks.

oh and then brakes and better suspension

i may even get the bodykit painted as its had paint missing in parts since i bought it almost 3 years ago lol oh and the tailgate and bonnet where i smashed them into the garage door and has now rusted lol in fact fuck it a full respray by my mate mark will be on the cards lol

will be aiming for around 450hp without ringing the nuts out of it like the current low lag big boost 400hp t34 setup

was going to go for either a t38 or a gt30 (one with internal wastegate), must admit imswayed towards the gt30 on pure bling factor alone lol

dont know what injectors...... 750 or 1000?
not worth external wastegate and modded 2wd ex man for this level surely?

engine is suitably specced and built for more hp so i figure it'd be rude not to

what you lot got planned then?

Mmmmm Matt.We think alike .Been talking to Karl over the last couple of months and with more or less the same as your thinking of doing could be looking at more like 500 than 450.

If money allows, I will go for a good stage 3. Haven't decided if the engine will come out for a freshen up at the same time yet though.

i know its fate irregardless of spec....

1 get close to "monster power" completion
2 shit yourself as people want to see it after reading its daily moves on here
3 sell it claiming all fords are shit and buy something opposite
4 do nothing with said purchase in no 3
5 sell said purchase and buy another ford
6 return to line 1

and maybe even alienate a few tuners along the way but hey you dont need them your ima

big up yourself matey

Get this engine setup in the next month.

Get some body work done to make it clean again.

Then wait till the summer and see what i want to do then. Either sell or possible Zetec turbo conversion.

Ideally Escort Cossie but the way the prices are

Amen to that Spiky.

I'm having a cage front subframe with adjustable height steering rack, TCAs, top mounts, compression struts, and a bladed rear ARB.

Then I'm gonna see Karl about mapping my car.

Then I'm just gonna do as many track days as I can.
