before




after

Shilly

well as DMX said '' here we go again''



also bit of an oem upgrade got rid of the chrome style ones in favor of some good old ford ones

before

after

makes the front end look cleaner again

Shilly

well today i thought i would up the performance a little bit so i bought an induction kit bought a universal one as it could fit onto the larger throttle bodie when i make my inlet like this

and it could also fit on the original one for this show season / until i build and fit my inlet

gjh

Looking tidy, not sure what sort of sign it is when its already rusting, doesn't look like ford are good at this anti corrosion stuff.

Shilly

ill get a picture of my missus door started off like mine but its in need of a new door now lol ford = Fucked Or Rusted Daily

Just out of curiosity, do the st bumpers fit straight up to a standard lower spec Fiesta? And same question with the engine?

Ben.

Shilly

The bumpers fit no problems

1.6 is a pretty much straight swop

2.0 St engine is a big conversion need of abs

CrOwSoN15

Awesome, I'm thinking of following a similar path, 1.6 for a bit extra poke.

Thanks.

Shilly

Yeah I do the. Conversions for a living and there not to bad going from 1.25 to 1.6 the 98 bhp is a nice step up

Shilly

not my car but the missus

decided to patch up her door after sorting my own out bit bigger job then i thought it was going to be


as a temp fix i have filled it with liquid metal to make it strong again till i can find a door



has been block sanded and is alot smoother finish then that have also put it in primer but with ford fair coming up havent had time to crack on with it

as for my car ive been doing a bit of track prepping and applying a few stickers

Shilly

at ford fair yesterday decided to buy myself some new exhaust mounts and at 12 quid for 4 thought it was a bargin



fitted the oranges





had to do a few minor mods to fit them as they are alot bigger then standard items
and heres my miss match of standards

theres no exhaust wobble at all so im guessing it should of cured the nocking it does on the heatsheild / underbody thats common with the system

duncans90

Nice car fella, sure i passed you on the M6 or M1 last night on the way home from FordFair car was looking sweet

Shilly

May have done what was you in I was doing a slow drive as my engine managment light popped on on my way to the hotel night before the show lol was only o2 sensor though still went on track though lol

rallycross

Wow that rusty door is bad had it been previously damaged or something?

Don't like the daft rear lights just gives it the wrong look.

Shilly

no mate its just the way they rust because of the silly outer plastics allowing water through and rotting it from the inside out

money allowing will be changing the lights when i can afford to they where a mod of the time and i havent bothered upgrading i was looking at putting some 6.5 rears on but at the moment cash is tied up sorting out its brething issues and its want to kill o2 sensors on a weekly basis my theory at the moment is the 1.25 throttle bodie is not allowing the right air to fuel ratio in and is allowing it to run rich and kill the sensors
inspected the cat theres no blockages and its heating up like should do

Shilly

well because im cheap and forgot my camera decided to nick my pics of the websites
me entering ford fair

me on track

if anyone actually came over to my corner and took a pic of my car can you post it here

Shilly

well today i set out to get myself a set of those mist jets for the car poped over to ford and picked myself up a set of non heated ones :biggrin:

then i decided havent been over to my local scrappy for a while so while i was down those ways i popped in to see if i can pick up a set of 6.5 rear lights for cheap and spotted this in a modified 1.25 and had to have it thought it was going to cost me a bomb but he said Ł15 quid didnt get the lights though but i got a 3rd brake light and ill just pop in when ever to pick up the other two

got home and fitted it
before

after


so all in all a good morning

CrOwSoN15

Steering wheel look's good pal, what's it out of? ST?

Shilly

Shilly

also my inlet manifold flange has just turned up

Shilly

considering modifying my front bumper to fit a set of light washer jets i already have the bumper flaps as pictured below

gjh

Looking good, nice to see you using it on track too.

Shilly

thank you

kdavie86

It's properly getting there! Well done mate.

Shilly

Thanks hopefully by the end of the month I should have the new rear lights and maybe a set of hoses and h.i.d's

Shilly

well just took a 5 hour round trip at the spare of the moment for these

got them at such a cheap price i couldnt resist the seller even threw in a free bucket seat

just needs a little tidying up and its good to go

Shilly

update time
got the first seat in

thought i would do the passenger first just incase i ran into any issues with the fitting but seemed to go in well

looks good against the old one
will get some daylight pics soon and possibly one with both in asap

Carlos-Titx

Cracking little build mate.

Where are you set up?

Shilly

thank you mate set up in liverpool

Shilly

no 2 went in a bit easier

Carlos-Titx

Good choice of seats mate.

You're set up in Liverpool, at least i know of one company I can take my ST to when I move over that way

Shilly

best spare of the moment decision i ever made for comfort

and ill be happy to help fit anything you want on it

Northants Ford Fan

what did you did you have to do to fit the seats ? as my girlfriend is looking for some better seats for her mk6 zs as the standard ones are crap

Carlos-Titx

You have your own garage?

Shilly

had to chop off the mounting brakets on both fiesta and focus then drill and bold fiesta ones to the focus ones will be welding them up shortly so i know they are solid

i work out of my own house have a garage with a pit in it so does me for what i need

Shilly

well today i picked up a new gear stick surround as my temp fix old one was looking a bit sad for its self and i didnt like the placing of a few things so decided to change them with this one
before


after

Shilly

ordered steel for my inlet yesterday on ebay and within 24 hours its here
3mm thick so should cope with n/a or foced induction applications and i should be able to tap threads into it for the throttle bodie and other items

Shilly

well today after 4 years of hard use i decided to replace my rear discs and pads
old

new

pad was a bit glazed

but good for another few years of abuse

Carlos-Titx

Nice and shiny!

Will be ringing up tomorrow to book my self in for that dyno run, will message you when if you fancy popping along mate.

Shilly

Cool mate I work not to far from the place so if im in I can skive I'll pop out and join you
