AWWW-FUCKINGG-SOMEE!! TOP JOB MATE LOVE ITT

 

I do think that myself sometimes when im working on it!

But it would be such a shame given the set up with the suspension, brakes and that if it wasnt used properly!!

Brian

 

Absolutly awesome, i love rs16i turbo's - rs turbo with better looks

 

looking good mate

 

**UPDATE**

Okay ive been a bit slack and not updated this for a while but here we go!

Fitted bonnet pins to my lovely mint ford bonnet!!



And fitted my harnesses and tidyed the rear up a little bit!!



Now Ive been having a play with my latest toy and I fitted this to my dashboard aswell.

Heres a clue...



And here it is mounted to my dash.



LM1 wide band lambda.

Will get the lambda sensor welded into the exhaust but its okay where it is for now.

And im really impressed with the LM1 and ive now done about 20miles in the car and its been really usefull knowing what the fueling is doing!!

Anyway thats it for now.

Thanks for reading.

Gary

Whats wrong with the original seats???

I do plan to change them anyway, but its all money I dont have at the moment!!

 

Theres nothing wrong with standard 1600i seats, theyre

But, read this http://www.nurburgring.org.uk/safety-equipment.html

Particularly this bit: "A harness with folding road seats and mounting points at floor level is positively dangerous: in a rollover, the seat is likely to break, putting all of the force through your now-unprotected back. A broken back is the likely result. If you have road seats, stick to seat-belts, perhaps supplemented with a CG-Lock to help keep them tight."

I used to use harnesses on my reclining seats for track days only, but i dont bother any more after reading that... When i read it i did more research and that seems to be the common view on recliners with harnesses. I used to think that harnesses would be good in a heavy front impact, but in such a situation there will be a strong downward force on the top of the seat where the harnesses go through which can snap the seat hinges, squashing you down into the seat, causing back injuries.

So, thats why i wondered if you were gonna fit some "Proper seats"

 

Bloody Hell!

Looks like im going to have to get the credit card out again I reckon!

Thanks for the advice marc!!

 

No problem

Best to get them just in case

 

**UPDATE**

My windows have arrived!!!!







Its nearly MOT Time!!!!

To say im pleased is an understatement!!

Thanks

Gary

 

this is lovely car ive always liked 1600i and fittin cvh turbo lump cant wait see this at the shows!

 

Good on you mate im surprised you didnt stop at a post office on your way back from the mot.

 

Great work!!!
Really nice to see a Mk3 project actually completed (Mines going at a snails pace )

Now go have some track fun

Nice seats BTW

 

Cool car!!!

 

That looks sooo good!

 

looks lovely mate well done

 

Not updated this for a while so thought it best that I did!

Been giving the car a shakedown over the last month and even made it to the Northants show aswell.

Still need to get the suspension set-up and the engine too but the wide band has identified the need for a bit more fuel up in the rev range so ive fitted this:





ERL Fifth injector.

I would like to go for some sort of management (EFI, Omex, Cosworth) but with the sort of power im after, I cant justify the expense at the moment and im keen just to get out and use it this year!!

Oh and I fitted the rear plastic windows aswell





Thats its for now - going to give it a run tomorrow night ready for the drive down to coombe on Saturday morning.

Thanks

 

looks stunning mate! love dis motor

 

 

Looks the nuts ,will be having a good look over it at coombe

 

Just read this whole thread.

Heard loads about you mate from vickers and gav etc...

Ive got the silver xr3i now, will put a thread of it up when i can be bothered

RS1600i is wicked mate

Would really like to see it in real life

 

Car looks awesome Gary

You get the windows from Airdale Race Components
The sliders make a hell of a noise when you go fast as the chain and pin is fucking useless

I need to get some felt where the windows slide to stop them rattling and opening at high speed. I think some velcro would go well too to stop them opening as the pins just drop out

 

Damn tidy

 

Cheers mate.

Did hear you now had the XR. Bloody good car that!

Whats your plans for her?

 

Im glad someone has the same problem with these windows!

Was going to just clue them shut!!!!

 

hello, lovely motor, did the series1/series 2 brake linkage/set up/ servo fit on ok, as i want to do it to mine, chers

 

Go-tech, flocked dash, crazy bucket seats, new wheels and tyres etc etc

Not going too mad, just wanna add my own little touches to it.

 

It bolted straight on with no problems mate.

 

Sounds good mate. Always said to chris to stick some management on it as it would make some nice power then... oh and put a decent clutch in it aswell!!

Your have to start a thread on here mate so I can keep up with the progress.

 

gary scott

thank you, will get mine on asap

 

luving this ride

 

gary scott
