COCHYN

Since I keep posting in bits, thought I'd make one thread and update it like everyone does with their cars. Not much commentary, all self explained really. But there will be a little more detail to come

Basic history of the car, it started life as a lowly 1.4 16v, running on those god awful 14" steel rims off a trolley But after about a year of on-off jobs, a nice hefty shot of Nitrous, head work and a few choice bits n bobs, it made a revy little toy.





Added some nice seats...



Featured in Fast Ford mag...









Got bored, so removed the 1.4 16v engine in favour of the 1.6 16v, which was also Nitroused, with most tuning parts removed from the 1.4. Went a little better, but just didn't give the balls out power needed...



After a month, I got bored and looked for a Focus RS. But since I didn't want to give this car up, I decided to go the conversion route instead...



Featured again in the same year by Performance Ford...







Clutch died


Serious missfire issues, caused by this little fooker!!!

COCHYN

Thanks for the comment

The pic above was taken about 3 miles away from where I live....tis my mini Nurburgring!

Here's a nice pic, with a start to one of my fav roads around here. Great for setting up suspension etc.

Had the turbo refurbed by Vince at CR Turbo's







Ordered some hoses from Roose and made a tidy little induction system...



Camber adjusters...





Will post more stuff as I find them in my files

COCHYN

Since it snows a lot and there's always a lot of salt on the road's, she get's treated to a lot of underbody work. Normally every 8 months or so (note the suspension, springs and brakes were changed shortly after this pic was taken)



And what was left of the Focus RS my engine came out of....







Most winter's she endures...



A good "bye bye" scene at the Euro Ford Event drag racing...



Cue to have a go on the drag strip...

@ Sal Callaziano

She produces 307 bhp & 360 lb/ft. Did a thrash last september, but didn't do very well on poor tyres and suspension setup This year though, bring it on

CarbonRick

Although I was a paying member I rapidly lost interest when they decided to commercialise it. How long you had her now?

COCHYN

5 years, 3 engine's, a hell of a lot of headache's, but worth it
