Been thinking about fitting focus rs front calipers and discs, is this a worth while mod.
Just put some on the mk2 escort where doing and they are much lighter than the standard 4 pots but do you feel any difference. Or is there another option without spending the massive money on the APs.

 

Got focus RS brembos and calipers on the saph - got a good bite but mine doesnt have ABS

 

U notice a big difference over standard

 

Can anyone help?

 

Not sure on that one fela

 

Just giving the car a once over as it going to motorsport developments on Tuesday, any one have any tips or suggestions on what to double check (apart from the obvious)

 

Picked the trailer up today ready for Tuesday's trip to msd
Had some issues getting it on so in the end we had to take the bumper off because of clearance. Don't suppose it makes and difference really

 

Just ensure the car is running as good as u can. Time costs money.

What power u after ?

 

Be happy with over 400+ but want it running safe and sound fela

 

What spec? 55lbs

 

Yes bud t34.48 and airtec inlet

 

Same as mine them minus the inlet.
I guess 376bhp 403lbft.

You wont need a actuator lol prob peak around 32 holding 27/28 psi.

Didn't think boost would be that high, just hope all goes well after the carry on with the clutch I need some good news

 

Mine runs that on a msd chip. And my clutch is fine now too..

 

The trip went well today ended up with 374.1bhp 361lbft at 30psi
Top staff there ended up doing a live map car was in great hands

 

2 bhp out. Cool would have expected more torque tho.

Are you happy with that?

 

I see Stu and James have their priorities right check out the barbecue!!!!!!🍔🍔🍔

 

How you finding this clutch? Thinking of getting one off Matt Lewis.

Back on topic, 3drs looking stunning one of best around.

 

Went for a full helix 6 paddle in the end as ap where having problems with rivets at the time. I find its ok and better than a 4 paddle ap which was like a light switch lol

 

The clutch is a lot better now I'm used to it not too harsh really
You where right about then up fela turbo is restricting now but enough for me for now
Got to get it out for a drive now see the difference

 

After a great drive down to Santa pod and back with the new setup the abs light came on, found a wire worn through near the plug on the block. Been rubbing on the coil bracket and gone through, soldered a new piece in.



But the light is still on trying to find the relay and fuse for abs but not having much luck
These are in the drivers footwell


Changed the fuses in the first two but no joy can anyone help, had all the dash out on passenger side but can't see anything there.

 

Green relay i think is the abs. But you might wanna check the main fuse box for blown fuse.

Was that blue and white wire from the valve block.?

 

Yes bud about 50mm from plug
Had a look in fuse box couldn't see and blown fuses

 

Congratulations !! Very good job,man

 

I see a lot of cosworths on our stand at shows and yours is the best looking 3dr in this colour I have seen on any of our stands, total credit to you Si

 

That's pretty good power! Its a lovely looking car with you.

 

Cheers fela nice to get some good feedback see u at fastford bud hope your well

 

Think the abs is sorted thank god
After sorting the wiring and taking most the dash out seems to be ok



Disconnected abs ecu and checked everything then reconnected and hey presto lights gone off Happy days!!!

 

They must retain fault codes then.
At least you sorted it.

Are you able to post your power graph?

 

Eli get a pic of it bud

 

 

Had the car out this morning to check all was well with the abs and all seem sorted now

 

Looking nice Simon😉
Whats next?

 

I've been collecting bits to sort the underneath out, got a beam arms roll bar and stuff.
Want to paint the floor and maybe look at upgrading the brakes

 

Stunning car matey. The wheels really look well on your car. Good power graphs too. I would be happy with power.

 

Cheers Glenn yes I'm really happy with it drives so much better
I love the wheels too really want some centre locks like the touring cars had, better start saving!!
