3 Door Cosworth Resto MSD mapped to 513 BHP
 
Took delivery today of my new Project

The plan is to get it on the road asap and then in the autumn to do a restoration underneath and engine bay and maybe convert to 4X4.

Both mate :ban-split:

BRAMMER 09-05-2012 06:24 PM

Looks a really nice car - the wheels are my all time favourite but mostly mags

If you put them up for sale take a picture of the rears as alloy and mags have differences

mk2rstaff 09-05-2012 06:28 PM

looks good mate

andym 09-05-2012 06:47 PM

whizzisat114 09-05-2012 06:50 PM

Wheel's would look great in black









And on my focus :ban-split:

I just think 18" on a three door is too big.

very clean 3dr for very little money:top:. i think with a better advert it would have done alot more

jaimesdna 13-05-2012 08:12 PM

just to add, imo it looks too nice to start chopping about to convert to 4x4

andym 13-05-2012 08:23 PM

Coming on very nicely mate.
Looking good

andym 22-05-2012 09:25 PM

Help needed please
I have driven it today and I am really disappointed :cry:
Boosts at 17psi (1.2 bar) but really late almost 5k, so sluggish bottom end and mid range.
It has a BD14 inlet cam and the exhaust cam is unmaked at the end, not sure what turbo itis but have a 48 rear housing and the front housing is marked up M27??
If it helps the inlet Id is 63mm pic below. I would like much more bottom end, any advice?

Great project fella!

Sticky. 22-05-2012 10:27 PM

That looks like a T34/63 not a 48 housing.

andym 22-05-2012 10:42 PM

andym 22-05-2012 10:44 PM

Rsmat 22-05-2012 11:16 PM

Looking good so far mate.

rinus_2005 23-05-2012 06:27 AM
