Spudmurphy....

F**k you funny man!

 

So, today the car went on its holidays

I went down to Race Tech to see Ricky and after a couple of hours of going round the car, the jobs list has grown but I think the end result will be even better as a result!

I've asked him to stick a few photos up if he gets chance but this was as I left the car with him:

 

Just a quick one - Coil On Plug plate arrived this morning from Austen W, thanks for that mate

Quickly bolted the coils up this afternoon:

 

That is very nice

 

Please you liked it

 

Come on Ricky, wheres the pics lol

 

Hopefully Ricky will be posting some pics tonight

 

Yay

 

cool ,looking forward to it .

 

Come on Ricky you slacker... Wheres the pics lol

 

Haha. I spoke to him earlier. He said he forgot his camera

 

Not good mate, id not be happy with that service!!!!! Discount in order? lol

 

Haha. Ricky has been more than fair with me so far on price

Few phone call conversations that we've had suggest its a far from simple job lol

 

I know mate' only banter and im sure the man fron Rotherham knows this lol xx

 

Miller, your on my 10% increased price rate

Heres a few pictures.







Its tight.



Very tight




Just clears

 

Serious Focus you have there mate..Awesome!

 

Pure art!

 

When is it back Wil?

 

looks amazin Will

 

top class

 

Looking good so far Ricky

I appreciate I didn't give you the easiest task

 

Looks good will! Going to need a serious turbo hanger

 

Not if it's braced from underneath

 

Will , will the thermostat housing still fit ok ? looks like the hose will be very close to the turbo.

 

No. Ricky is machining me a new stat housing. Mine was full of redundant take offs and as you say, where we agreed to sit the turbo, the top hose would have fouled!

 

how come you running water injection Will.you expecting high charge temps ? or running higher comp and aload of boost

 

The latter

 

awesome!! something tells me that plastic slam pannel isnt going to last lol

 

Nope

Already got a solution for that in the pipeline though

 

that manifold looks nice mate!

 

Tht looks awesome mate. Bet your excited will

 

[QUOTE=RickyLee53;5835396]Miller, your on my 10% increased price rate

O cock!!!! Why didnt i just keep my mouth shut.... lol

 

Excited and nervous lol - going to be seriously tight to get the car built and down to the dyno in time. Absolutely snowed under with uni commitments etc. at the moment too

Really pleased with the work Ricky has done though, working my nuts off this week to pay his bill lol

Should be worth every penny though

 

Manifold looks superb so far, looking forwards to seeing how he somehow manages to fit in the wastegates

 

I'm glad your looking forward to it... not to mention the 3" exhaust and boost pipe...

 

This statement is worthless without pics

 

It's looking very good, I wish I had half the skills needed to make things like that, very impreassive.

Snug with the slam panel too, looks like that'll have to go haha, after you spent all that time and effort 'precision' engineering it with the angry grinder too

Spud.

 

Hello Will,

few pics as promised for you.

For anyone interested, Will phoned me asking for some work doing on his Focus dash, then he popped down for a chat and fetched the dash with him. The work intended was to blank off a few holes, rebuild part of the dash which had been cut away slightly to much and some custom text which I suggested, as this is going to be a TA car it would make sense to get his company name out there as much as poss.

Anyway here we go........

 

The dash as will delivered it, the cardboard is to show where the dash needs to be rebuilt back to





with some grp compound mixed up the dash was built back up then another cut out was made to match the adjacent side for the cage

 

Next job was to fill and smooth one of the centre vents and the drivers side vent



And to cut out for the cage


Now the centre vent
