hi , theres abit more of an update , not been able to go see the car this weekend as iam working on the house extension(another project) so iam going next sat so should be some good progress with the shell . first of all i went to pick these up from ian the extra 4 injector blocks but theres a bit of modding that needs to be done
i need to fit the vacuum takeoffs
machine a block of alloy so i can fit my throttle body
weld on the fuel rail brackets
and grind out the bottom inlet section as its 45mm wide and weve stepped up a size to 48mm so just need a bit of felting
also to fully clean the inlet to mack sure theres no swarf / dirt etc
heres some more pics of the inlet






trumpets inside the inlet section



inside lip that needs opening out to 48mm



throttle body needs block to open out to 67mm



8 injector set up with twin banks and fuel rail with need welding somewhere





ive also brought some other items

25mm sill kits x2 so i can work on the car more easily at home and x2 cds seat sub frames which i will take to jim next week to weld in and also a cobra evolution pro race seat, cant believe how much theses fuckin things cost , so heres a few pics.







hoping to order the full wrc rear quarters next week , god more spending

cheers paul

p.s i will take some more pics of the inlet on the engine

the sill kit tubes aint long enough mate, i had to re order longer ones as the fezzy sill are soo wide and ideally need to be welded from outer to inner sill,

finally been down to jims today @ alloy racing fabrications and the car is finally taking some sort of shape , all the bulkhead , big tunnel , rear diff tunnel , rear seats plated , drivers rear floor cut out and plated , exhaust tunnel mod to the centre tunnel and passenger floor raised by 3" so we can fit the exhaust silences and side exit exhausts. dropped my race seat off and it fits perfect which we must admit was a stroke of luck and guess work so he can now mount the seat rail kits and hes also doing the sill mount kits. got to buy top mounts , and the jwrc full rear quaters and fit the full bodykit then it may look like a mk6 fiesta lol. iam going to see jim at the start of november so we can send a day designing and mounting the diff and fabricating the pick up points for the rear diff cradle and finally finish the rollcage off.
i also had to take the new jenvey inlet down to see what room weve got and i must admit that the mk6 engine bay is massive when the battery tray has been taken out and theres still plenty of room
anyway i'll let the pics do the talking and jim should be sending me some more over so i will post them when i get them

rear wheel well cut out and plated


rear diff tunnel , rear seat plated and passenger floor raised


same but the other side


rear seat plate


drivers side new floor plate fully seam welded


boxing for centre diff and front prop shaft


plated and seam welded bulkhead


front section of the big tunnel




front engine mounts




and finally the new jenvey inlet and still so much room at the inn






i will post some more pics when jim sends them over

thanks for looking

cheers paul

zetaboostboy522bhp

hi andy hoping to get the rest of the fab work done before christmas (i aint holding my breath lol) then when all thats done jim knows a mobile sand blaster so we can do the inside of the car and the underside to clean all the surface rust off then off to the paint shop , so i would say end of jan maybe feb


cheers paul

zetaboostboy522bhp

yeh his work is good mate , cant rate him high enough for saying the amount of messing around weve done with the car lol

creator

yeah looks fantastic.whens the kind of deadline to getting it done now mate or is it more of its done when its done kind of thing?

zetaboostboy522bhp

deadline was for 2010 rsoc national day as i was hoping to take it on track , but if i have to wait longer then so be it as it will need a proper good shakedown before doing a full track day and rushing only leads to faliure.

cheers paul

andrewg

looking good mate,, only thing i would say is with the length of the engine mount arms it will put a lot of pressure on the block, may pull the studs out or break it, you always want to keep them short,,

zetaboostboy522bhp

hi andrew ,its your car build and that video that made me give upon my mk3 fiesta build lol , just such a great looking car and rapid as fook , thanks for the top tip mate advice is taken and will shortly be addressed

cheers paul

p.s great show at this year totb , made me laugh though 9.5 sec and the slicks still had the little rubber bobbles on when new cause you didnt light the tyres up before setting off, my fav ford of all time along with the 2000bhp granada from norway

great job

zetaboostboy522bhp

well its time for a little update . theres not to much going on as its nearly crimbo but still doing bits and bobs. right first of all i decided that instead of using the pumaspeed bond on arches i would bit the bullet and buy some full rear quaters with arch built in from mdv , these are full kelvar and very well made and reasonable for £540 inc vat and delivery for both sides. i arranged to go and see jim as i was off work on friday so we talked about all the outstanding work that needs finishing off and some more mods . my main concern was the engine mounts as andrew gallagher gave me some sound advice and said they where far to long so these will be redone with the rollcage also being finished. we spent about 2hours cutting the metal wing off and fine tuning the metal work to get the perfect fit for the jwrc wing but it looks spot on. i think iam also going to buy the rear bumper from mdv as it will bolt straight up and follow the lines far better. i think iam still going to use the pumaspeed front wing and bumper but we will see how they fit together.
so heres some pics so far








nice and wide lol



front wings but there grey so you dont really see them





ive said this once and i will say it again i cant believe how much room there is in the bay





also ported out the inlet manifold from 45mm to 48mm to match the other jenvey parts , i still need to fit x2 jic fittings for vacuum and fit the air temp sensor. the jenvey spacers are going back to have o rings grooves machined in them and jenvey said they will take my diffuser back and swap it for a 70mm one designed for the evo inlet for £28 extra . the inlet on the evo made 730bhp and on the standard inlet made 680bhp so iam hoping for good things.

heres some boring pics of before and after of the porting







cheers paul

zetaboostboy522bhp
