cheers mate...will be picking it up soon...ill let u know before hand so i dont just show up and appear to be nicking a gearbox LOL

found some new enthusiasm after going out a few HIGH powered RST's yesterday so now im trying to order the last few bits for the engine to do on the dyno...will go home and try to sort out and make sure all the loom fits the injectors and sensors etc...also make a list of whats else is needed to complete everything...then work my way through it

Right, car is back on the road and running well...XR2 gearbox in there and running smooth

on another note...i have my Area Six exhaust manifold for sale...im downsizing the turbo and going internal gate now and concentrating on putting the power down

if neone is interested, please PM me

oh and if you want it without the external w/gate pipe, let me know and ill get it welded up to suit

this is one SERIOUS manifold! dont really want to sell but the standard RST manifold has seen figures of 350hp and thats what im aiming for so i can save some money

pump...im not too sure at the moment...will more than likly be a Cossie 044 pump...will decide on the fuel pump spec after i have a power figure so i know its specc'd right...more than like i will overly spec it to make sure its always safe

quick update peeps

the manifold is now staying with me...

MASSIVE thanks to Simpson Race Exhausts (www.simpsonraceexhausts.com - 01753 532222) for welding up the exhaust manifold for the external w/gate!! EXCELLENT job and ANY exhaust fabrication work you need doing...they are you people EXTREMELY helpful and will be booking in my car for an exhaust as soon as its ready

HUGE thanks going to Ian AGAIN for sorting my exhaust manifold out for the smaller turbo guy is a LEGEND...knowledge is amazing! taught me alot about things and makes me think about alternative methods of doing things instead of the everyday methods...helped me out so much!

Intercooler has also been sent off to Graham at GRS and should be back with me in a few weeks. There was a slight air leak from the intercooler when i first bought it so the end tanks are getting cut off and rewelded back on and sprayed up etc etc...and a nice tidy up

also picked up my new gearbox - MTX75 out of an Escort RS2000...HUGE HUGE HUGE thanks to Stevenbm for sorting this out for me cant moan at the price either hey steven

Went to Grove Garage yesterday to pick up the box and while i was there i also picked up an oil feed pipe for the turbo with a filter and also ordered Cossie ACT and water temp senders for the Pectel Loom Grove Garage......TOP LADS!!

Just got to wait for the exhaust manifold to come back and the sensors to turn up and im ready for the Dyno!!!

some pics:

grinded the metal back a touch




Boys at simpson race exhausts doing their stuff


and the end result:







amazing weld quality!!


they are also doing my exhaust and come HIGHLY recommended from myself! i also mentioned passionford and they said that you guys are welcome and mention my name (or guy with red escort turbo lol) and they will do a good deal

also worth noting is that the external wastegate pipe is just temporary in that position...we just needed to put on a pipe so the w/gate is out of the way from the dyno once in the vehicle it will be position correctly somewhere

the intercooler before it went off to GRS


and while i was there...i saw this rather naughty project:







also saw YUM there also LOVE that car

cheers everyone....

dropped off the gearbox yesterday to bernie to get sorted...spec will be:

MTX75
Custom 5th gear ratio
highly polished shot peened gearset
Quaife ATB diff (although this may change to a plate diff)
Full rebuild
Custom final drive
and a few other touches here and there

BIG shout out to Bernie for explaining a few things to me and making me think about a few things about the chassis hopefully everything will be setup as close to perfect as possible

am waiting for the dyno at the moment so i can spec the gearing accordingly to pull the correct speeds in all gears....however i do know 60mph will come up at 6500rpm in second redline in fifth comes in at 176mph but thats 8500rpm
