Well here it is .

when i bought the car it had a silly bodykit and a few other really wank parts ., im slowly getting it back to a standard that is acceptable

quick spec

rs gearbox
Turbo Technics hybrid turbo
K&N Gen 2 filter
uprated chargecooler
Mongoose decat
Powerflow cat back
Vibra technics mounts
front end is all polybushed
st170 brakes all round
Spax adjustables all round
Samco hoses



PLANS

both the front and rear bumpers are a temp measure, acceptable standard ones will replace them ( probs st170 ones)
i also need to get the quarter panel repaired

the wheels are borrowed from my st170 and will be replaced with either a set of comp mo 6's or another multispoke design
the horrible sounding exhaust will also be going and will be replaced with either a blueflame or a milltek

after that it will be a tubular manifold and a decent chip/map and we should see over 300bhp







and here is the damage

I like that mate.

Gaz 88

i know of one

MrCapriScort

What a sleeper, would leave it as it is, even the dent.

Change the front brakes, Wilwood 6 pots are nicely priced and fit over ST170 300mm discs direct. Chuck the chargecooler and what's the wiring and pipework like under the front panel, looks a little messy. Reason I'm asking is, these engine's get very hot and can easily split water pipes.

Cool care otherwise, agree with the front bumper need changing.

the charge cooler will be going at a later date,

there is loads things in the bay that need changing tidying up etc i just havent got round to do it , but i will

COCHYN

Good lad But looks a good project fella, only thing really is to decide to make a true sleeper out of it by leaving the rough bits as they are or making the exterior like a showcar

Send me a PM if you want info on a custom Intercooler system, otherwise check this thread out

Did it take much to get it to work and run.

woolford

nice looking car.. bumper aint too loud as far as some go

COCHYN

Fit behind mine without any issues, bags of room under the slam panel

bazzle

thats not a standard bumper tho is it lol

COCHYN

Doesn't matter fella, the intercooler sits under the slam panel

bazzle

i may be in touch then mate , wont be for a while yet tho . i need to get the bodywork sorted first

bazzle

well. bad news , no comprewssion on no2 and lots of blue smoke , think ive done a piston

anyone got an rs bottom end ???

COCHYN

Bad news fella, look on ebay for some FRS' being broken. Also a few people selling various stuff on the RSOC

bazzle

well upon stripping the engine ive found ive melted number 2 .

but the project has taken a major turn now,

i bought the rs shell from nomaderst on here

the plan now is to have the rs shell repaired and painted white , rebuild and refit my engine and my running gear ( short term) ,

at a later date as i find all the parts for the suspension side of things , convert it back to genuine rs running gear , and have a nice white frs .

Here is the piston damage




been fitting a few parts to the rs, some of them will have to be removed at a later date , but storage is tight so best place is on the car

Strange, normally piston #3 goes on the RS lump. But your plans sound great, keep it going and don't loose heart!
