looking a great project mate, best of luck

 

thanks guys appreciated. its getting there dry sump should be orderd this week

 

looking gd luke cant wait to see it in person. those struts are sick

 

Looks fantastic

 

love it

 

thanks people dry sump kit should be here from titan soon and then can get the engine and gearbox mounted! i cannot wait till its done! not that im not enjoying doing it as i am, but i just cannot wait to drive it!!!

 

looks the nuts!

 

looks awsome mate

 

well done bud, gone for mt75 over the six speed then? in the middle of the same sort of thing with my focus, its a long old slog

 

tell me about it mate seems to be taking an age! but well worth it. yes i was going the 6 speed route but after some research the ratios are just way to short for what im doing, so spoke to a few people and was advisted for this specific year of mtx box as it has a long ratio. however the box is massive and takes up alot more space than the getrag but not a problem it will go in.

 

Awsome project! About time we saw another decent spec car being built and a fiesta at that!

Will be keeping an eye on this, is it being built specifically for drag or track?

What sort of power you going for? Thats a mighty big turbo!!

 

luke how much were the mounts mate ?

 

thanks mate, its not being built specifically for either, its going to be a road car... but i will run it on both

and the turbo is big, but i went for the smaller exhaust housing so i will get a quicker spool up.

-beefy- the mounts were pricy at Ł550 delivered.. but trust me they are excellent.

 

Best of all worlds then.. Youl be having fun with the drysump, be good to see the updates with that!

 

ye the sump should be coming in about 2 weeks! holding things up but nothing i can do. dont worry there will be updates shortly

 

done some stuff today been slacking a bit it im honest but anyway we have cut the front crossmember out as it was taking up to much space! i personaly dont no if anybody has a radiator this big fitted to mk3 fiesta! unfortunatly i didnt take anymore pics as my phone died but dw i will take some tommorw to show the new crossmember and mounts etc. and the intercooler is only that may it was just a mock for inital spacing! its now the otherway!
the biggest thing tho is that we have fitted this WITHOUT cutting the front bumper!!! and we have kept the original bonnet latch!!! take a look! do appologise for the pictures will get better ones tomo.
how big is that rad

 

that looks awesome mate..........

 

thanks mate.

 

sorry for the delay on the photos been busy! but here they are
btw the crossmember isnt finished it still has some supports to go in, waiting for the dry sump to come so i can see were i have space!







comments please.

 

today decided to mount the pedal box and gearstick, will have to put a foot raiser infront of the box i think otherwise you have to hold your feet up to get on the pedals! take a look tho... and excuse the mess!!

 

What pedal box is that mate?

 

word of advise mate

the resovors and master cylinders that obp supply are dog shit mate

they are really crap

you will need to change them for good qualitey iteams

got the same set up and luka can vouch for that aswell

 

it is a obp box mate.


thanks mate apreciate the advice, tbh when i was puttin them in i said to my bro that they didnt seem too good! shame really for what the box costs from them. but ah well! what do you advise.... wilwood something like that ?

 

and also what size master cylinders do you advise ?

 

ive changed to ap jobbies and ap resivors

cant remember the size i will get back to you on that

dont use the obp ones you will have nothing but greef

they leek like a sive

and with a few hard stamps on the peddel the brakes lock on and will free up after half hour or so

 

ah ok so they sound like good quality items then just what you want from your braking system!!!! il be upgrading them then as i dont want them kind of problems!

what do your brakes feel like ? "normall car" ? or do you feel like you have to stamp them ?

 

Have you got any other pics of the pedal box fitting? I've got the same box in my Mk5, just not fitted it yet.

 

Looks fantastic

 

very very nice would love to go a far as that but dont have time or money . Just gettng my fiesta mk3 rst sorted out for the summer then start overhaul in the back end.

 

i dont mate but it isnt difficult to fit just mark it out drill the holes and rivnut it.

 

Looks sweet as mate! keep it up

 

i run ap 4 pots up front with 330mm
ap twin pots on rear with 300mm

bias controller

fully fully braided throughout

and the brakes are super fierce
only need to dab the peddle and your face is on the front window lol

 

Really liking the work here

 

Awesome!

 

Nice project!

Are you using the ST170 head then?

 

cool sounds good! iv got wilwood 4 pots upfront unsure of the back yet but never used them so done no how good they are! were did you get the braided brake lines made or from mate ? this is exactly what i was going to do! ???


thanks mate hopefully it will be getting into the magazines when its done

yes mate i will be running the st170 head, but with the vvt removed and port and polished, also will have twin valve spring conversion done allowing a safe rev limit of 8200!! going to sound sick!!

 

Nice mate, make sure you get the inlet port matched as the ports don't quite line up between an ST170 head and Zetec head.

 

for the inlet manifold ? if so it was made for a st170 head by ian so will be fine, thanks mate.

 

made all the braided lines along with all the aero quip on the car up at a1 rallysport

me and steve did it all

all custom lengths so not a ready made kit im afraid

 

ye i didnt think they would make a full kit, so making it isnt a problem, just dont no were to get the parts from apart from ebay really. and just need to make sure there good quality items.
