I took it somewere to have some work done and there was a lot of boys who was anti Ford who used to hang about in this place and i had 2 cam pully bolts loosened. and i know they were torqued up before it went because i done it with someone who see me. but i cant prove it.

Not sure on the power as its capable of 600bhp but but think im going to go for 500bhp area which is good enough for me.

 

Small update!

I decided to get my fuel lines sorted, ive opted for lighweight braided black hose with black Aeroquip!
fitted my bulkhead fittings (ignore the non painted bit it will be painted soon) fitted my flocked dash.
Took my spare will well out and had it plated over looks crap at min but a full size fuel cell is going to cover it.
also ordered myself a 19 row Oil Cooler.
Spayed my Fuel rail with Wrinkle finish.
also ordered some 3m Carbon sheet, havent decided what to use it for yet lol

 

Looking good !

Which quip hose is that, how much was it ?

 

looking good stu have you driven the car since you put the bias box in ?.if not i think you might be disappointed because i have a compbrake sierra bias box on my escort & it is total shit if you work out the ratio its only 3.5 to 1 which is total crap ,so end of this year im ripping it out & ill be fitting a O B P pedal box which is 6.5 to 1 & the cylinders are on the inside so it tidies the bay up a bit

 

tbh johnny i havent a clue ive had that roll for a while as it come from the states but is its rubber lined with stainless braid and coated on outside with cotton braid. its light strong and look better than stainless imo. and dont mark everything it touched like stainless.

Andy tbh its been a pain in the ass from min one the balance bar hits the steering column and its shit fit. im tempted while i still have time to get a floor mounted one. my engine bay is nearly 90% junk free as i dont run ABS/PAS/heater matrix/oil cooler modine. what you see there is nearly it apart from my custom water header tank i need to do.

 

Cheers mate, I need something similar to stop the mess the braided quip causes

 

Small update again.

got my surround flocked by raj and he done a proper job aswell!!!


WRC breather is here got that wrinkled straight away i used a heat gun this time wish i had done that with the inlet as it comes out soooo much nicer.





Fuel rail fitted and braided fuel line fitted. believe it or not ive managed to hide nearly all the crap pipes etc so its nearly finished and looks like im missing loads of things.

 

Looking pretty good

 

rocker cover done also plated to hide leads.
starting to see the engine bay getting finished

 

Looking good mate

 

looking nice mate

 

looks really nice mate

 

looking real good keep up the good work

 

sweet car mate shit about the sabotage, the guy in the garage next door to us thought the guy sharing his unit was sabotaging his jobs so put a hidden camera up and caught the fucker doing it, the guy doing it now talks funny and cant pronounce his f's properly due to the missing front teeth lol!

 

Stu have you drilled and tapped the block to fit the breather? got to do that to mine yet

 

no i havent got the bollox to lol if you use the bolt near the dipstick and put all the hoses on it dont and cant move. i started to drill the block but couldnt go through with it.

so no i havent drilled it as its sterdy now

 

Pussy



what about the dipstick, did you have to bend it at all mate?

 

Looking good

 

This is sweet

 

yes it has to be bent a fair bit

 

Update
Fitted my Mocal Oil cooler today and need to cut the bumper
done all the pipe in black braided a fittings they look so much better




Fitted part of my switch panel in im fairly pleased with it along with my zietronix roughly in



Map sensor moved and done that in wrinkle lol


And my Fuel Pressure reg (must stop )


Fuel Return and feed through bulkhead done


cars still looking sorry for itself but its getting there

 

Wow looking really nice
Ive one question for you though, why are you running your thrittle bodie in the side? will it run in any position? did you buy the throtle cable mount or make it yourself?

 

It will only go on its side not sure why, its a garage19 swedish and it comes with the thorttle cable bracket.

been toying with the idea off getting a Hart inlet

 

Ah ok ive got the same inlet manifold i think (look's very similar anyway) but dont have a throttle cable bracket
Could i bother you for some measurements so i could make one for myself?

 

looking good mate, i had to do the same with my bumper to make room for the oil cooler pipes

 

no problem ill get them monday.




Ronnie im a bit gutted as its a genuine RS500 bumper aswell lol

 

Sell it!!! Buy a fibre glass one.

Lighter and cheaper :0)

 

havent come accross one that fits perfect yet

 

very nice mate

 

love it! looks great

 

you wont do either

had to make mine fit with some shaving here and their

 

UPDATE

Thought i would go for a electronic boost controller and gizzmo have good refrences.
and it fits perfectly in the hole in the dash.
also fitted my aim dash to the sheet.

 

looks stealth love it

 

looks excellent

 

hard as nails bud !!

 

cheers guys at the moment ive spent nearly 28k on the car cant believe it. but i think most of its done now apart from all the pipework for the brake system and a few trim changes.

just goto get the seats in and do the hardest part and make a whole new in car loom. hopefully it can see its first mapping session by august.

 

Looking good Roosie!!

 

Awesome car loving it
