E5 MDS 4x4 saph re-build . . . for sale . . .
 
had it about 3 months now after i decided to sell my fiesta zetec turbo(danny p's) to buy it. got it off a mate whos moveing thailand and basically lost interest in it and probably saw sense!! he had the car for about 13 yrs i think and reciepts nearing 35000 with all the different specs, engines and servicing! the last engine had only done about 2000 miles when i got it and it had just been mapped at msd with closed loop and air injectors on a p8.
full bare shell resto lots of cleaning and powder coating etc!! not after concours, just clean and useable.im after changing the management/gearbox and a few other bits!

engine built by road n rally blackpool. the guy who built it used to build some wrc engines and he said bar the exhaust cam its a very similar spec obviously no intake resrictor. cost alot! head was 2k on its own! its high comp 9-1cr, all lightened/balanced, custom cams, isky springs, lot of head work, high imp siemens injectors, p8, pectel loom, ally tanks, 500 cooler, charge cooler, quaife diffs(covered 2000 running in miles only!!) etc etc get the jist :top:

when i got the engine out dropped the oil and there was barely enough to cover a rag! didnt have a proper breather on so presume it spat it out on donningtons finest. so after checking the shells 3+4 were scored so may as well give it a freshen up while its out.

NEEDFORSPEED 17-12-2006 10:37 PM

10 proper long studs, the best!

slipped a few times while flatting it down scratching the painted bits but you cant tell now its laquered

https://i117.photobucket.com/albums/...4/DSC00363.jpg

only sent the engine in to get it properly cleaned, crank polish n shells but ended up just getting everything done like rings hone re done the head with new followers and a re balanced crank/flywheel etc. and got him to put crank back in aswel so at least i know its goin to be 100% rite now(hopefully). cant afford to have any engine damage!

https://i117.photobucket.com/albums/...4/DSC00386.jpg

got all sump etc painted n back on using all cometic gaskets and using grease not sealer.thats what ive been told to use so hope sump seals properly. anyone had any problems with them?

https://i117.photobucket.com/albums/...4/DSC00388.jpg

NEEDFORSPEED 18-12-2006 05:54 PM

heads on using cometic multilayer smearing some special 'goo' round the water ways to seal properly. hope this is going to be man enough for the job as the next step is about 300 quid?

got a plenum spacer and modifying the elbow on the plenum. wanted to go for a swedish plenum but i wouldnt be able to keep the chargecooler because of the throttle body location. anyone know how much im actually going to gain from having it as well as the intercooler??

https://i117.photobucket.com/albums/...4/DSC00437.jpg

what do you think of the colour scheme? im not sure now at all. think the verniers need to be a different colour or something?

got belt on jus need to get my mate to time the cams again to make sure theyre cock on!

cool project love seing sierras being restored, whats with scratching the paint on the other clean sierra
you respraying it black?
actually thats the least scratched part of the red diesel bus lol
cheers for the positive comments. keep changing my mind about the colour really fancy nouveau red, got some raceline rl7s. maybe paint them white? or keep em silver?
let me know what you think!

NEEDFORSPEED 19-12-2006 05:34 PM

got a load more pics off stuff.
it uses an air injectors at the mo but im planning on using my apexi that i took of my fiesta it worked really really well. tricky bit of kit.
i dont understand why more people dont use these? if theyre good enough for 1000bhp skylines with mazzive boost then they must be good for all stages of cosworth? and cost pretty much the same if not less than air injectors!
https://i117.photobucket.com/albums/...4/DSC00316.jpg

got these off ebay really cheap. got a feeling theyll be comeing off if the ride is too hard with the coilovers but wanted everythin to be adjustable so will try them.
just need a polish up.

https://i117.photobucket.com/albums/...4/DSC00364.jpg

marked out the holes and secured them through the strut brace with some old bolts for now

https://i117.photobucket.com/albums/...4/DSC00439.jpg

Looking good mark best thing about this thread is the pic of the s1 :blabla: where you get them blue bolts wouldn't mind some for mine.

NEEDFORSPEED 19-12-2006 06:44 PM

hi yeah the s1 is v good rolled it over to do underneath and everything. blue bolts i just cleaned them up really well and painted with spray can. have to leave to harden for ages n ages tho or it just flakes when you go to tighten them as you can imagine!!

BILLY 19-12-2006 09:09 PM

coming along nicely mate. Keep it up :top: :top:

alanfordtw-15 20-12-2006 06:51 AM

Red with white rl7s would look class on a sierra actually, but my choice would be black with silver wheels. with all the work your putting in there is something about red that gives off 'not a real cossie' or 'reshell', but black is original.
If the sierra turns out anywhere near the standard of your fiesta it'll be a work of art, fair play :clap:

NEEDFORSPEED 20-12-2006 06:59 AM

yeah i know what you mean found 1 pic of a nouveau one so far not havin much luck. i know they only made em in 93' fancyd magenta originally but after looking closely at a few i cant help thinkin how flat they look.neauvou looks deep like my bro says. has anyone got any pics?? also what do you think about a cage? i know its alot of work makeing it look neat round dash area and everything but while its all out??

NEEDFORSPEED 20-12-2006 07:00 AM

thanks for comment about the fez! miss it!!

alanfordtw-15 20-12-2006 07:43 AM

heres another:https://i115.photobucket.com/albums/...1625/serfg.jpg

cage would obviously be cool but realistically its a lot of work and did you say you want to track the car? also dunno about a full cage and leather, half chrome cage would be a good comprimise and a lot less work. black car, black leather, chrome cage :cool:

S1 JOHN 20-12-2006 12:45 PM

GINGExR2 T 20-12-2006 01:51 PM

Have to agree with with neauvou being a lot nicer than Magenta, Painted my XR2T neauvou when it was finshed it looked so much better when park against my mate Magenta cossie.

NEEDFORSPEED 20-12-2006 05:35 PM

yeah its gazs old one. quite a few heads here from blackpool!! my mate lewis baught the cab of the lad i sold it too, as i left it apart from the blower which i kept. its been stood for ages in a garage. for sale i think?
