That looks well.

 

I dont know about bike carbs, but bike boddies work well on car engines.
I had the standard plenum on my st-170 engine and it went ok using vvt, but then fitted gsxr1000 k4 boddies, and what a difference it made, more air flow meant it needed more fuel = more bhp/torque!!!
And u cant beat the noise either!!

 

Nice mk3 matey

Dan

 

Love this car mate and I really can't fault you for fitting the bike carbs to it, A mate of mine fitted a set of gsxr 1100 carbs to his prelude and the difference it made was unreal.
Nice job mate

 

cheers for the comments fellas

and fitted spax adjustable front shocks
next week i will be picking upa rs1600i front suspension set up with arb which will get polybushed as will the rest of the car :devil:
the rs1800 shell is also getting delivered next week and me and a mate are going to turn it into a trackday car but not until my escort is how i want it first
it might have a colour change depends on the condition of the paint work :-?

i will now be 2.0 zetec the escort as i am buying a donor mk3 fiesta which the 2.0 is currently in and
will be breaking the car due to it being rotton
it is getting delivered saturday and will be ripped apart at the weekend so in a couple of weeks once ive
sourced a few bits to get it in the escort
wont be going on bike carbs as injection is the way forward for what i want to do
will update with pics at weekend

 

Awesome car, just love it ! Its perfect !

Can`t wait to see more updates

 

that my friend is the nuts dnt change the colour tho its spot on the way it looks

 

the fiesta turned up today and at 12.30 we started work on stripping the fiesta
how it looked when it turned up any one recognise any bits




then sat it on tyres

and an hour and ten mins later looked like this


how it looks now


the engine is a 2.0 mondeo and has a new clutch and water pump fitted

just need a few parts ;
rs turbo fuel pump
oil pick up pipe
throttle body 2.0 and 1.6
and probs a few bits
should hopefully be going in a couple of weeks :devil: :devil:

 

that some nice upgrade for your Mk3 !

 

acar just got more gonna b real interesting this 1

 

Top work mate.I so want to put a 2ltr zetec in a fiesta or a escort.

 

its a top mod glenn,do it you wont look back makes soo much sense for an upgrade

 

nice work mate. i got a spare 2.0 and 1.8 body kicking about

 

engine has now been painted matt black same as the inlet manifold
not sure if the rc cover will stay blue but may go beige
sump will be cleaned aswell
also made the loom by removing 2 relays and 3 fuses from the fiesta loom to
make a separate loom for the engine electrics all it requires is a couple of live
feeds and an earth




also this was a nice surprise :Q :Q

 

a bit more done and a few bits sorted
found out u have to change the fuel tank so sourced a mfi tank
got most of the engine built back up and made some pipes

also got these brakes a few months ago there off a new shape focus
just need some new discs with 4 holes
heat wrapped part of the downpipe were the starter is
hopefully by the end of next week i will have the rest of the parts and the weekend after can get it fitted :devil: :devil:
