right, update time as it's been a while since the last
not alot has been done as iv been waiting on part's, and a couple of parts STILL havn't arrived after waiting almost 4 week's
anyway, here's what's turn't up so far...
new manifold that place's the turbo over the gearbox (had to alter it slightly as it was made to fit in a erst and the mtx box is bigger that a rst one. here it is bolted up...
also got a 38mm external waste gate as there isn't any room for an actuator under the bonnet...
and the mod's needed on the manifold for it to bolt upto...
big thanx to my mate jon for welding it back up,... and neatly (for a change
lol )
modded screamer pipe (toying with the idea of having it pokeing out the side of the front bumper, but not sure atm...?)
and it all bolted in
well chuffed with it, but unfortunetly i dont have any room for an air filter, so i'v had to use mesh over the turbo inlet, here's a pic so you can see just how close it is to the slam panel...
and a couple of ramdom pic's
doing my bit to try and help advertise the company
pete's 520bhp rwd esc cos hiding behind my car (love that car
600bhp ish esc cos
spent a good hour or 2 polishing the engine bay on this saturday ready for central day on sunday...
nice and shiney
and it has the nicest seat's i'v ever planted my ass in...
there from an audi rs6 if i remember correctly??
and finally mark's 400 odd bhp rwd cossied fiesta
that's all for now, hopfully have more done on my car soon

but as long as i can drive it into ford fair il be happy everything's there for the wireing now, just a matter of sorting it out, iv got the right fuse box but i cant remember if i bought it down to the car or if it's still at my house?? pretty sure it's there...

cheers for the comment's people's 
been a while since i'v updated this thread, but to be honest, i havn't really done alot since the last update due to loseing interest abit and not being arsed to touch it
anyway's here's what i have done and bought...
got a new cossie alloy rad
i'v been struggling with colour choice for the car, but i'v come up with this (only a temp job atm)
decided matt black and orange is the way to go, just need to paint it properly now
finally got my samco's through aswel after waiting 8week's for them to turn up
some random pic's from when we wer moving my car from the old workshop to the new one
got a new bonnet aswel now after hasseling someone for age's to sell me it
and fitted new grill
last saturday i spent the day down the workshop doing some bit's, but i only have a pic of my gauge's fitted to show for my effort's...
need to adjust them yet because they sit at abit of an angle and i know it'l annoy me.
it's slowly getting there, jon's made a start on my wireing, but has now stopped
and i'v done a few little bits that i'v been putting off.
but im going back down again tomorrow to try and get abit more done, hopfully get the coolant hose's fitted, and maybe weld up the waste gate on the turbo... see what happen's, jon tend's to distract me by talking alot lol.
anyway, that's all for now, if i get anything done tomorrow i'l update
here's a final pic of her looking sorry for herself to leave you with...
