Wheels are a funny one I admit. I bought them when the car was just going to be a fast road car with standard bodywork. Since the transition into race car, I have wondered about a change...

Maybe they'll become my rims for wets in due course

 

 

Looks great will! Do you have plans for splitters, diffusers, spoilers and canards that every time attack car needs! Lol

 

Aye Jim, I've just scrapped an old EasyJet plane so he can take bits from

@ Will

Leave the wheels as they are, the fact you started this car with the intention of doing something that hasn't really been done to such a level was your goal a good while back, the wheels just add to that marmite feel that some may not agree with. F*ck 'em

 

I like the wheels, I did say that when the Focus comes back could I try one.

 

wheels look fine! cheers for your work on my car mate, looking forward to the next time already.

 

Congrats on making the cover of FastFord Will, great feature!

Quick one, has Sticky forgot to put his own company sign on your car as I cant see it?

 

Bonnet mate.

 

Great feature Will, Mag was dropped through my door this morning

 

Ditto , lovely write up Will .

 

Fair play it looks awsome!

 

Cheers guys - really pleased with the feature!

Ade has done a cracking job with the photos - even if it was his most stressful ever shoot!

Neil and the Fast Ford boys have done a great job putting it all together

 

Hi Will,

Where did you get your upper grille from mate? It is the exact one i have wanted for a while, there is a number of debadged grilles on the market but looking at numerous pictures of it on your car with the bonnet open and shut, it is the one i really want to buy, could you direct me towards where it came from please!?

 

Embarrassingly it was just an ebay one! Cost about Ł25 from memory!

 

PLEASE say you have the link to it in your purchase history?

 

Is there anywhere on here where you said which aerocatch design you went for? And did you need to add anything to secure them where you have in the engine bay? Or was it direct fit, as that position looks awesome!

I want to get some and not sure whether you went for 'flush' or 'push flush' ?

Thanks again.

 

i found this pic on page 9, can you explain a bit how the bonnet aerocatch lock has been attached?

 

Just been through the whole thread. Amazing project I must say!!!... I want a toy like that too! :-D.

I was wondering where you purchase the black braided steel hoses you use in your fuelpump setup?





I am building a "stealth" enginebay in my S2, and want to use black fittings and hoses all over the bay .

Best regards - Kasper - Denmark

 

Kasper - PM on its way to you!

svt-focus - I've just had a look on ebay and there aren't any listed I'll have a dig through my receipts and see if I can find out who supplied it. I think it was a company called 'JapParts' from Lancaster, rings a bell as I found it amusing they were selling Ford stuff

The aerocatches are 'plus flush' ones, its just a case of positioning them where you can secure the pins - where I've put mine is tricky as the front panel is honeycomb construction!

 

will, is it true that you borrowed a trailer of a good looking fucker!

 

True story!

 

Can you tell me what thread size/ adaptor you used on the power steering pump high pressure pipe? I can see your using -an fitting on the hose itself and want to do the same on my fiesta. Cheers

 

What a read

Thank you..

 

Any updates on this has it been used in anger yet ?

 

No Carlo,

Not yet Taking the business forward with premises, new equipment etc. has swallowed up all my time and money for the last 9 months really.

Plus, i'm still trying to get rid of some gremlins in the H bridge (drive by wire). The throttle pedal is working and calibrated, the ECU is giving an output demand but the throttle body isn't reacting. Try the throttle body on a different car and it works fine, ECU has been away for inspection and upgrade and apparently bench tests ok. Very strange

If I ever get chance, i'd like to try and get things sorted and maybe do Oulton Park Time Attack this year. However, i've got a customers running and they do take priority!

I'll put some of the pics up from the photoshoot at some point too

 

Is it the Mini thats going to Oulton mate?

 

Yes, the Mini is doing a number of rounds as a One Hit Wonder - unfortunately work commitments mean that he can't do the full calendar. There's also another car that i'm getting more and more involved with so suspect i'll be kept busy at all the TA events between the two of them

 

Coolio....

How's our other little project coming along?

 

Slowly

I'm still at work now! Just grabbing a quick brew and catch up on emails etc.

Need to get that standard ECU to compare.

 

Oh Timmmmmmm

Want this one sending back?

 

Sticky im here still. Feel free to come grab this ecu off me or meet me at Three Sisters tomorrow for the rally and ill bring it along.
