P S welcome to P F

 

welcome back matty !!


should be a pukka project !!


whats the timescale - hows business ??

 

did you buy the shell that was on ebay?

 

good to see you on here again matt old pal, keep us posted with the progress, sounds interesting.

 

hi matty, if you need a hand with the shell then let me know caged is only round the corner

 

 

Random Q - Are Dan and Nathan Lloyd doing anything for this car? I know them and that they used to do a few bits and bobs for yourself/M-tech...

 

I'll definately be keeping an eye on this thread, should be a very interesting one.

 

looking good so far!...I'll be following this thread

 

My mates old shell that joe from wakefield

 

mannnn my old car.... ill be watching this thread and ill be posting the logbook tomorrow or day after mat

 

lol , deffo watching now


u planning any cool touches management wise matty ?

 

sounds good matty ,

may have to speak to you about sq8 , currently weighing up options for the s1 cossie ,

looking for something that can run c-o-p , and a few nice features ,

beef

 

Looking good Matt.

Its suprising what the S13 back end will fit under, we tried one under my mates Volvo 340 and short of some modified mounts it would of dropped in like it was meant to be there.

Lots of good diffs and ratios available from the Skylines too.

 

Looking good! I look foward to more updates.

 

Looks like it's going to be really nice on the Rotas!

 

its good to see someone taking a different approach to things, looking forward
to seeing the full conversion.

 

Wow , looks like very little work is needed for putting the nissan subframe in the fiesta!
I'm doing the same in my 3dr sierra, but using the rear floorpan section from the nissan (with turrets included) , a lot easier than doing lots of work to the stock floorpan.

Are you going for nissan hubs setup in the front too?

 

This is going to be epic....



Ginge

 

I'm having the same rear on my rwd mk4 escort - when i get my arse into gear that is. All parts are dead cheap.

 

Sounds good, why are you using a Type 9 though ? thats not going to be any good for massive power is it ?

 

Looks fantastic so far.

 

looking very cool

 

Nice project.

I would rethink the gearbox though Matty

 

Matt, got the logbook back for the car give us a bell on 07917770989 or send me a text with your address on and i will get it sent to you.... cheers buddie

 

Mint project!

 

 

awesome project! love the JWRC body kit on the fiesta!!! bet itll be a right handfull being RWD with so much power and such a short wheel base? good fun though!!!! is that wesbury as in near brackley your from?

 

Chaps, back on as a trader so all posts will be as M-Tech, not me personally (MattyThorne)

Afternoon everyone!!

 

Cage being all welded in..

Have to cut holes in the floor to drop the cage so we can seam wld all the way round the top etc.

 

Good work, it'll be a monster.

 

Some more piccies of the roll cage going in...





More to come!!

 

Ah, among other things, we have the following 'cool' ideas:

• AirCon based overrun chiller for chargecooler??
• Rear blown diffuser
• Rear mount Rad
• Engine half way through front bulkhead, for better CoG
• Removable tunnel for servicing etc
• Front munted turbocharger

Woop :P

 

Carbon fibre tunnel??? nudge nudge wink wink

reply to my pm's matt mate

 

Sounds interesting, will be good to see.

 

Raj, replied, and interesting :P

Si, yes I'm looking forward to it too

Cheers

 

More cage work taking place...

Front triangulations going in...

 

Dont know how I missed this thread.

Cool as fuck

I think there will be quite a demand for the cams if you do manage to get a decent profile together, as there isnt a lot on the market currently for the B204.

 

Are you doing the cage yourself Matt?
