I see, is it not eligable for the stockhatch championship? (with the 750 club is it?) Are you based in Wales my dads mate used to race in the welsh racing drivers association saloon car championship (I don't know if it still runs though).

Straight_4_N/a

well i havnt had a full check of all comps yet as im new to it and dont know where to find them but what ive found so far either my car is to modded or to light or to big engine. Yeah im in wales and i had a look its still running but i would be in in class BS and BT which i would get killed in as it 1601cc to 2000cc and im 1679cc and the 2.0s would easly kill me i would need to have 200bhp+ but i can be re-classed if thay think my extra 78cc wouldnt make me kill the up-to 1600cc but i would get killed in the 1601cc to 2000cc class but thats upto them but then again boring is aloned and i can stay in the same class upto 1600cc but id have to check.

Well not much to update, Im getting the car all running and driveable by friday if my new bushes come before then but heres a list of new parts ive either got or coming in the post....
New track rod ends
New drop links
New wishbone ball joints
New Front Wishbone polybushs
New Front Spax shocks
New Hel braided Brake lines
So once there fitted the only part of the suspension i can uprate is the rear shocks then and brake wise would only be uprated pads and discs pointless doing the rears on a fiesta, So all my money will be put into POWER!!!

gjh

A bummer with the competition side of things. SOunds like you've been busy with new parts though.

Straight_4_N/a

Well ive fitted the track rod ends, drop links, Front Spax shocks, Hel braided Brake lines and the water hoses just waiting on the wishbone polybushs so i can fit them and the ball joints and get the drive shafts back in so its driveable.....

gjh

And there maybe more

Straight_4_N/a

Well not much to say other than its alive kind of lol it turns over but doesnt start but i think its down to me not having a few things on the engine lol the wire for the inlet manifold sesnor, engine ground, the intake thing at the back of the engine bay, the rear gearbox sesnor and theres two big plugs coming out of the fuse box but dont match anything (ones the abs god knows what the other is) and i cant work out which is which for the alt and power steering as thay come off the same line and there the same lenght and have the same plugs lol.

But i have fitted the pas side stuff now and ive only got the gear linkage and the torque link left to conect and two water pipes and shes done

Straight_4_N/a

SHE's RUNNING and ive shorted all bar one little problem (the windscreen wipers dont work) and ive got the pas side suspension on, so all needs doing now is the torque link and gear linkage and the exhaust and a new fuel pipe and a new map pipe and its running 100%

gjh

Tidy!! Good luck in competition, don't forget to put some pics up of it in action.

Straight_4_N/a

Heres what its more looking like these days but can anyone spot a problem lol (i didnt notice till the day after lol)

Straight_4_N/a

well well well....

Heres some pictures of the fiesta







Then i went out and bought this for Ł50

(the saxo, i already own the astra, yeah yeah why do i own a shitroen and a vauxhall, well the saxo was a cheap buy just to smash about and the astra well i was either going to get a mk2 focus or the astra and lets be fair the astra looks better.)

Then i had this


and some more action

The Underdog

i noticed your showing a llandow lap time. was that with puma engine in sept? if not what did you run?

Straight_4_N/a

No that was with a dieing 1.25 engine in and with damaged front suspension (the wishbone bushes were shot to bits) and it was raining bad with loads of standing water.

Ive got a few times from september here some where ill have a look, I know it was less than 1min.

Straight_4_N/a

Long Long Long Over due update for this.
But First things first i killed the shitroen and gave it away lol and then bought a lexus lol.
Fiesta well its beening standing for along time without any love but she has got lots and lots of new parts to be fitted when im well enough, Nothing big just lots of little costly parts and off the top of my head ive coved all handling braking interoir parts wanted and transmisson for now and soon im going to try and finsh the interoir off and fit some of the light stuff ( fuel swirl pot pump filter. steering wheel ect) , So over the next week or two there will be some pictures of my new interoir but all depends on the weather and how i feel the guys that know me understand why.

Wicked little track toy

gjh

Sounds good. I'll keep my eye out for the updates.

Straight_4_N/a

Thanks.
Well ive opened up some of the boxes which a few i cant fit yet but so far for the inside ive found these light things.
swirl pot
fire/battery pannel
fire kit
steering wheel
steering boss
door handles
rear strut brace
poly windows (which i didnt have to open to know what it is lol)

just need to find the rest of the fuel setup battery tray cable ect. I could have the new brakes and tyres fitted but the car is stood on grass which will kill the r888s and rust the discs oh and youll think me mad but ive also get here some where 125 pound front wheel spacers which i wont to have fitted to see if the front wings will need work.


Also im i right in thinking for my fuel swirl pot setup all i need is a second fuel pump (its a facet sliver comp one) fuel filter fuel swirl pot fuel line and just plum it in and just wire the new pump into my current fuel pumps + - and use the stock pump to feed the swirl pot and new pump to feed the engine.

Straight_4_N/a

Well gusse what still nothing fitted or even paint BUT i have done two things i poped to my boss house picked up the keys for the factory and went to work on the only day there shut lol and made up some plates i needed for the car, Two to stop the car flooding and one to go where my battery used to sit, Which i can only fit one of them as i just cant get at the angle to fit the other two so my car will just have to flood some more.
As for the other thing nothing big it just remove most of the stickers off the car.

I will get something done soon other than let the bucket seats go green like the stock seats and steering wheel lol yeah shes been outside in the weather since last year leaking and filling up with water lol. Im really suprized the ecu even works theres a big hole right above letting all the rain in lol.

Straight_4_N/a

Oh yeah i found the all of the battery relocation items (I Think) who would like to gusse how many parts my kit contains?


Nope your way off 106 parts lol ive got a total of 6 meters just in 135amp wire lol 3 red 3 black lol mostly just bits just to bolt the cables down or join them to power points.

Straight_4_N/a

yeah i did something

ive temp fitted a few of the parts listed but thay will all come back out when im painting.

Ive still got to test fit the handles and plumed in fire setup and make sure the windows are perfect fit and some other stuff.

Straight_4_N/a

Right got the outside and inside cleaned today ready for me to get the last two an half sound tar plates up and then ready to paint, So will get the floor painted inside and out as so as my arms stop herting (After months of not lift anything with any weight using the drill yestarday really did a number on me lol).

Also who would like to know the next item on my list to order? It will be the biggest item i can order but by the looks of it it will take a month to come and im not ordering it till next month.

The Underdog

Straight_4_N/a

Yeap lol.

Ive taken some of the car and ive stuck them on facebook just need to get on here lol, Ive brought the pasagers sub frame home with me and got it in the car but ive got to go down the gwent now lol so ill get a picture for you tomorrow.

Straight_4_N/a

Found some time today and fitted the rear 3 poly windows and now interoir wise i just need to fit some bits an bobs and the pas seat back in and job done then sort out a roll cage this month then all the car is missing is power ill be looking at 170bhp once ive built the enginge....

Straight_4_N/a

Alittle bit of work done today,
I toke the rear boot window back out and attacked the boot with a disc cutter lol and then refitted the window and spoiler and bolted the boot back on and fuck me i didnt cut much off and i could feel the diffrence, So ill be attacking the rest of the car this week and fitting the two front poly windows.

And i promise to get some pictures on here this week even if it means making anther photobucket account..

The Underdog

yeh get another account we need pics luke.

Straight_4_N/a

Well you have some more update (than thay are on here) pictures on hand of my interoir couldnt stick them up could you please just the interoir ones would be fine and ill get some more pics done once i fitted the front windows and how much cleaner the car is lol. I even saved a few grams from removing all the rubber gromments out of the floor lol.

The Underdog

copied over for you luke.

Straight_4_N/a

Thank You

Straight_4_N/a

Well not much done today
Ive fitted the plumed in fire extinguisher but need a 12 foot pull cable and 1 meter more of tubing to finsh it and ive started fitting the cut off parts but lost the bolts for the switch so everythings half fitted lol. Just need to sort out these little bits and bobs and tidy the wiring up and ill refit the pas seat.
Oh i havnt fitted the front windows yet or attacked the door with a disc cutter.

And im going to do something ive been told not to do, Im going to book a trackday for later this year as long as i dont crash i think/hope ill be fine.

The Underdog

let me know what dates your planning if its llandow your thinking of.

Mk4 Rick

Looking really good mate.How much weight do you think you have lost from the car

Straight_4_N/a

Yeah will be llandow as i know it best so less chance of a crash.

Dates wise as long as my back keeps getting better im looking at Sep/Oct time, The only thing i have to do before then 120% is either get new rear brake lines with a bais vavle fitted or keep the none working drums on the new axle.

Straight_4_N/a

Thanks it does look better than above now as ive cleaned it and fitted more silly bits an bobs, God knows mate But i would say its easly at the 800kg mark now but ive added a kgs with all the extras.
