Had the day off on Wednesday so took a drive up to Brands as the weather was nice. Shame I didn't have a proper camera and tripod with me. Car is going away on Friday to my mates to have the wheels powder coated and the following week my mate is detailing her Will get some better pics then.

Got the new splitter through so that was fitted to get rid of the cracked smashed one

 

Trully the wheel of choice at the moment, suits everything

 

Definitely mate! I was thinking about having a change but decided to get them tidied up and powder coated again

 

looks really nice mate,

 

Oh aye deffo, I've powder coated mine white individually whenever they need it about 6 times now They just look so epic in white

 

Love the wheels !!!

 

Right............

The standard turbo has been smoking for a while and the car has been feeling underpowered so I decided to bite the bullet and fork out for a Hybrid from John FRS. His work and service are second to none!

Anyway, while waiting on the turbo I decided to see what a wheel colour change would look like. I don't like it




I then had a bright idea that the bay should be tidied up along with a load of other bits ready for Ford Fair.

Bumper off:




In this next pic, you can see the AC canister and pipe work in the o/s/f arch. This has now been removed back to the bulk head to save on a shed load of weight, space for an oil cooler and the lack of summer to actually warrant having it.






When I removed the AC rad, I decided the standard rad could do with upgrading to something a bit beefier So I got on the phone to Auto Specialists who sent me out one their Airtec Pro series black aluminium rads on next day delivery. The core is almost twice the size at 45mm compared to the standard 25mm!!

Also the fan cowling and water pipe were proper tatty and showing signs of it sitting at the front of the car for the past 10 years so I whipped the fans out, prepped and painted with hammerite hammered black to give it a bit more protection from the elements.



And after the paint




The intercooler and crash bar have also started showing signs of taking a weathering so they came off for a clean, prep and paint.






The standard gearbox mount looked shagged and has been noticeably different since I changed the standard engine mount for a VT one, so I ordered the same for the gearbox




So... a couple of days later, these all turn up Molly trying to get in the pic lol.













New turbo vs Old










So, that night I was outside with the tools with Daz fitting it all up

New rad with freshened up fan cowling

















Lastly for the day was to change the strut top mounts and bearings on the front coilovers as they were fooked!




Still need to fit the non AC auxilary belt, freshly painted boost pipes, Scan Gauge mount, prime the turbo, fill with coolant, wait for the bumper and splitter back from paint and and the car is going away for a full geo setup

There's probably more but if you've stayed awake long enough to read this bit, thankyou

 

looking good Tel... i should spruce mine up!!

Lennie

 

Great work mate...

You aint got a charge cooler pump have you?

 

I think I got one paul!

 

Can you PM me a price please mate.

 

Len you need to get right on yours mate. I love getting stuck in with this.

Paul mine came with air to air so never had a chance to experience the joys of chargecooler pumps. Has yours packed up?

 

I think so mate, doesn't seem to be working.

 

What is the exact part number on the airtec radiator? That is a direct fit with the standard fans? Thanks!

 

Hi mate. Here's the link to the rad on their site http://www.autospecialists.co.uk/AIR...oduct-920.html. The lower locating tabs on the fan cowling need an 8mm hole drilled because they bolt onto the Airtec rad at the bottom instead of pushing into the clips. Everything else fits up as normal, hope that helps.

Just a quick update.

Gave the car a full check over before Ford Fair and then sent it off to my mate Tom to have a full detail for 3 days.

To say his work is great is an understatement!!






Anyway, got to the camp site on saturday early evening and set up my empire




The main part of Ford Fair, I got not one pic taken

Done the 9.20, 10.20 and 11.20 track sessions without fault! The car was absolutely brilliant apart from not feeling great in some corners. We only realised at the end of the day that we hadn't adjusted tyre pressures. DOH!!

Here's my vid of the 11.20 session that my mate Daz has done tonight:



Unfortunately the car developed a blow 5 minutes from home.

A couple of fellas in a mk5 ZS took a few pics on the M25 that i'm over the moon with














And a short vid they done



Last night me and my mate Daz finally got round to looking at why it was blowing and found that 3 of the 4 turbo to manifold nuts had gone missing

After 4 new nuts and spring washers, the world is now a better place


Just need to spend Saturday with the snow foam and cleaning gear getting it ready for Retro Rides on Sunday.

 

Car looked stunning on the camp site Tel.

 

Oy T666 FRS, Where did you get the carbon interior flim/flams from? I like that!
Self-cut or Bought ready?

 

The car needed a few bits of tidying up over the winter so at the end of last month she went into the bodyshop to have a couple of bits sorted and we decided to go ahead with something we spoke about toward the end of last year



I decided to do this





Which now looks like this 8-)







Got a few more bits to be done over the next couple of weeks but i'm over the moon

 

white wheels are a pain in the rear to keep clean, but they look the bomb

 

very interesting colour change. look forward to seeing it finished

 

Wow!!

What colours that?

 

I wish I still had the RL7's mate but sold them without thinking properly

Cheers mate, I can't wait to get it finished now!

It's Porsche Grey Black, the same that's used on the 2010 GT3 RS

 

Beautiful Color!!! Should have sent the wheels my way

 

LOVE IT....but can't believe you've posted the pics

 

Cheers mate


Mate, I felt like a kid with a secret Just couldn't help myself

 

the new colour looks the nutz cant wait to see it built back up

 

colour change looks awesome

what was the out come with the AA?

 

At least i can keep a secret....

You're gonna be hated mate, you've done something different.

 

This is awesome. I work in Bromley so hope to see this one day!

 

I really like this

 

Show everyone the finished artical Tel.

 

Why white inside?

 

What air filter were you running with the old turbo? Quite a bit of damage to the compressor wheel blades.

Good work on the project, love those steering wheels. I fitted the same wheel in my old evo 6, makes the car feel much nicer. The standard RS wheel is pretty rank looking too.

 

Looked awesome in the flesh today!
