Well thought I'd take some pics, It's collected a fair amount of dust etc since fordfair. tomorrow's job is to clean it up for Rs national day.

Not had time to even use it. Still due a map tweak and a oil cooler.

Not really. . . On a warm day if you push it you can get it upto 120 degs, I back off then as dont want it getting any warmer. . .
Seems alot better since I changed the oil ( thanks to Opie oils )
I just wanna fit a cooler before we tweak the map and give it more boost, I just dont want the oil temps to be a issue, Its really just for peice of mind.

And as it stands now rammed in the garage with many parts surrounding it.
Still not sorted a oil cooler, but it is taxed again for another 6 months. Hopefully if I sort a cooler out quick enough we can have a map tweak before the bad weather settles in.
Then it might go out on good days round the estate to keep it moving.
I've started buying parts for the winter upgrade. Wasn't planning on buying bigger brakes just yet but for what I've payed for them thought they'd be worth a try.
Still not 100% sure they'll fit without spacers but fingers are crossed.
It's a mk1 focus Rs front brake set up.
So far the 325mm discs and pads have arrived. The brembo calipers should be with me tomorrow.
Just need some brackets making up to fit them. Should just squeeze behind the 17's! :mrgreen: hopefully without the need for spacers. Otherwise they'll be back up forsale.

Brembos.
If they fit fine they will be going into work for a repaint.

Chris, that is the setup ive got to go on mine 'if i ever finish rebuilding it'
i havent got any brackets made yet though. but did have to get rid of my BK wheels as they wouldnt fit by a mile.
hence last year i bought some wheels that will fit, but sat in boxes in garage.
thanks
Dave

Well it passed MOT fine, will Hopefully have a pic update soon. Just got off the phone to MDA Motorsport, gonna pop over to them next week sometime to get the Brembos machined and collect a pair of brackets so I can get them on. Unfortunately I've gotta run 5mm spacers. Hopefully 5mm shouldn't cause me to many problems.

Brembos still to be fitted plus the oil cooler.
More boost.
Not happy with the stereo set up so a few bits to change.
Wanna have a full ERST 90's spec trim made up for it if I can get hold of enought cloth.
Theres plenty of little jobs to sort too. Always to busy to get on this, but ill make time for it soon. . .
