LiL_JacK

Gave the car a much needed clean so thought id get some pics, the car now has standard headlights which i swapped my spare smoked ones for as i fancied a change





Also my Fastford feature came out thursday !!


I'm now thinking of carrying out a rs turbo conversion after a mate has just got one, Can anyone help with whats needed to fit a rst engine into a mk5 ??????????

jck239

very nice mate....we happen to be in the same mag, funny that haha!

Ill PM the guy on zsoc who did the RST engine conversion as I fancy doing one now, its just the loom that scares me

Booooost FTW!

LiL_JacK

My boost addiction is all your fault i hope your happy!!!!!

jck239

LiL_JacK

fatboy billy

looks alrite i spose, ;p love it mate alwasy have liked this car rst conversion would be great too just get efi be alot easier

LiL_JacK

Billy !! Yea was planning on going EFI but finding one with the loom ecu etc will be hard if not i'll just nick your engine u wont miss it

fatboy billy

best bet would be a complete frst some cheapish on ebay then get some cash back breaking it up, you could nick my engine its half out anyway lol

LiL_JacK

the problem would then be i wouldn't be able 2 break it and end up keeping it lol

fatboy billy

not if it was rotten lol from past experiecne a mk3 fiesta does love to rot

LiL_JacK

Didn't realise it had been so long since i updated this thread


The Cars changed a fair bit

Firstly the recaro's were ditched in favour of some cobra monaco bucket seats and a rear half cage. I also added Gaz coilovers and a vibra technics lower engine mount


However those only lasted around 6months as i was using the car for longer journey and it was a bit to stiff and focused

so the buckets, cage, lower mount and gaz's were swaped for mk6 fiesta zetec s half leather seats, frp lower engine mount and Ap coilovers. At this time i wanted a splitter for the front but didnt want the usual laguna or cupra r splitter so i decided to do a splitter that no-one else had done so i modify a Frs splitter to fit and now there are quite a few cars with these now




The Car then stayed like this until someone decided to rearrange the front on a roundabout

LiL_JacK

The claim has now been sorted out i got paid out 3k for the car which is a very good price and i've brought the car back




I've decided to rebuild the car and so far i've collected all the parts i need to repair it



I've also decided to ditch the zetec s side skirts in favour of mk3 rs skirts and arches


I'm now just waiting on M&R bodyworks Jig to be available so i can get the front end pulled, Hopefully it will be at FiTP just not sure if it will be painted

Dominique

a shame about the accident, was a very very mint fiesta! love the colour 2!

Cossie Sean

best mk5 before the re-arranged, looking forward to seeing it with a bit of kit

xr2imetalhead

Shame aout the accident fella, looked great, I'm sure it will come back looking even better!

LiL_JacK

Cheers should be completely mint when it's back

Yeah hopefully the kit works with the rest of the changes that I've got planned

Thanks! yeah bigger and better is the plan




Update
I've just brought a new exhaust system for the car it's a n early miltek manifold and centre section with a 3" outwardly rolled piper backbox. I'm also debating getting some new wheel either comp MO5's or team dynamics 1.2's

COCHYN

Good lad for carrying on after the accident, top little motor that

Nice looking car ,shame about the smack

JayCC

What happened to the wing? Ok after the smack, but fucked in your garden?

Edit: had to cut it to get it recovered?

LiL_JacK

Yeah it was wedged against the wheel so had to bend it up to move the car

LiL_JacK

Update

Got the phone call from M&R bodyworks to say that there Jig was free for me to use so went down there last week and now the cars all straight









I since been up to my mate Lee's work to fit my new milper exhaust system get a tyre fitted to my alloy so i could ditch the steel and had my tracking sorted

and i've also test fitted the rs/2i arches

dingo78

Do you have some other photo of the xr2i arches and sideskirt on your car?

LiL_JacK

Should really update this

The car got resprayed in June last year and I've since added team dynamic 1.2's which might be getting refurbed in silver but I'm unsure of it will suit the car and the interior has been changed to fiesta Rs turbo recaros

Mk4 Rick

Wow brilliant build and a cracking motor, I wish mine was like that

Lee Grout

Nice mate. Good work rebuilding it. I think the wheels suit as they are. Dark rims FTW
