I had my mate Ryan from R&K Detailing over on saturday to give the interior a good deep clean as it was crying out to be done, and also to give the paintwork a quick going over ready for hopefully alot of use this year.
these are the only pics iv got upto yet but im sure you can see just how good the results are

That's the RS Turbo insured for another year, gone with Heritage Classic Car Insurance after being told about them by my good mate Karl3dr .
Current company Footman James wanted Ł215 for the year just for me on the policy which was a Ł38 increase from last year.
I wanted to get my wife insured on it this time and Heritage have done it us all in for Ł161.08 with an agreed value of Ł6000 Really impressed with there service and personal touch they bring with it.
happy days now lets get out there boosting this year

Well there has been a slight change of plan
whilst fitting the new coolant hoses i noticed the oe radiator really looked worse for wear then on refilling with coolant etc and running upto temp the leaks were fixed from ancillary and coolant hoses only problem is that radiator was leaking quite bad from 2 different areas
So iv had to shelve the idea of going to MSD in April and instead will be buying an Airtec radiator then fit that and the new Pro Alloy intercooler and get the fuelling set up at MAS Tuning in Crewe.
So then we will just run the car at this state of tune for the year then any niggling problems can be sorted out as we go along before looking at upping the power next year.
I actually think this is a good idea due to the car hardly being used this last 3-4 years so we can get some much needed miles on her to see how it goes.

Finally took the plunge and purchased an Airtec stage 2 radiator to replace the worn out oe radiator.
i then also decided to purchase the Airtec stage 1 front mount intercooler kit as it doesnt require any cutting to the front bumper and should work a bit better than the pro alloy cooler i have.
fingers crossed we will get these fitted before the end of the month along with uprated fuel pump and get it up to MAS Tuning for a set up.

well as you can see im up at daft o clock again.
anyway thought i would share my latest investment for the car with you all
decided to purchase the newman cam kit as i thought it would be a good idea to replace what as far as i can see is the original 27 year old camshaft etc.
not sure if these offer any power increase but i beleive they are the best cam kit for the cvh turbo.

Another big update iv decided to go for the Boostmonkeys OFAM ECU, which is imo a great modern ecu upgrade and is plug and play (apart from the mapping to spec of course)
link to said ecu
http://www.boostmonkeys.co.uk/ofam-e...ol-module.html
this should really make things all come together well

received some more goodies courtesy of msd
as you can see uprated fuel pump, low temp thermostat and uprated cooling fan switch.
iv also purchased a fuel pump rewire loom as the oe one is obviously a bit tired/worn and also a fan loom rewire as its currently on manual switch and a real mess wiring wise.

yesterday afternoon was quite a productive one on the fiesta had my good mate karl come around to help out with a few things.
ill let the pics do the talking
As you can see the airtec stage 2 radiator and stage 1 fmic is all fitted up, fmic has been removed again so we can tidy up and paint the cut edges on lower panel.
Also new uprated fan loom is in and is a very worthwhile upgrade imo. low temp thermostat has been fitted but gotta wait on a housing gasket before refitting to the engine.
uprated cvh fan switch will be fitted today
so some progress is being made, hopefully next weekend finish off the tail ends with these jobs then look at getting the new fuel pump and loom fitted
