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 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.

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.

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!

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?

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.
