Done 134 miles of abuse with some steady cruising and been faultless so far .

Brilliant build.

hope you don't mind but you've inspired me too have a go at a very similar conversion myself for my track S1. Currently on MFI. I'm thinking Omex600 because it seems pretty straight forward to put together .

I've got a load of questions tbh but i don't want to bore you too much.. (yet)

i've got a set of Deka injectors like yours and an XR3i manifold / spacer plate, my injectors seem to be a snug fit in the fiesta fuel rail and sandwich plate already ( with the orings on) , do i actually need to drill the pockets out like you did or is there another reason why you did it.

And little vid of underside .

Steviedavysammy

Loving the photos, stand looks incredible. I need to get an exhaust sorted myself, is that one custom made ?
i want something stainless but pretty quiet, any ideas Matt?
regards Steve

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

the exhaust is a new mongoose that was chopped at the bulkhead and then a bespoke down pipe made from the turbo over the box to mongoose mate ..I like it has it quiet at idle and driving round town.

thanks for the comments mate .

Rsmat

spot light lenses arrived ... like rocking horse shit these ..fit and look so well on the car .

bluntys1rsturbo

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

bluntys1rsturbo

Stunning car Mat. Whens it going in the magazines??

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Not sure yet mate ,, got all the fancy suspension bits to put on and hand geometry set first .

Minirotty

This cars the bollocks bruva ��

jonfoc

What fancy suspension bits have you got to go on?

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Coil overs , adjustable TCA's and bladed Wrc style ARB .

jonfoc

That sounds epic. Who’s coil over damper are you using?

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Thinking Of Gaz Golds.

Found out why the boost hose keeps coming off at only 9psi ..my brand new set of competition vibra technics mounts I bought 2 years ago and only just fitted for the build has ripped the front gearbox one in half.

Steviedavysammy

Shit! We were just talking about that very possibility last week! Talked about using a vibra engine mount with in our case standard gear box mounts but our mechanic reckoned they would break ,
will you upgrade the lot Mat ?

bluntys1rsturbo

Definitely worth doing the gearbox one mate. Remember you saying that my engine doesn't move well I have the gearbox one ony car.

jonfoc

They seem to be coming on leaps and bounds in quality. Are you going to get corner weights done and have bespoke made? Get them valves for your needs.

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

They were done with brand new competition vibra technic mounts , ones failed mate.

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Hi mate , I've found a better alternative .. Land rover V8 mounts , brand new on the door step for £7.50 .. I'll send you link if you need some .

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Nah I'm not going too daft , been told 300 front 375 rear is around the sweet spot with these on S2.. bear in mind I'm clueless with suspension.

boost monster

My son has these fitted to his mk2 fiesta.

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

Hows he finding them mate .

Caddyshack

Looks the nuts, must be one of the best in existence?

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

It's one on it's own mate and different that's for sure .

boost monster

Perfect and a bargain. His engine mount is now a vibratechnics competition type.

Rsmat

iTrader: (2)

well here is the bad boy that was causing me issues . I've moved over and fitted land Rover V8 mounts at £7.50 delivered and have just had 400 miles of abuse deliberately trying to break them and they haven't and they feel loads better on the car than the vibra Technics ..MaRk at MK motorsport send me pics of my wrc style bladed ARB and is going to make me some TCaS like these to match . on sunday I took the car on a 200mile round trip round North wales with mi little foot soldier .. car never missed a beat in the last 400 miles . my coilovers should be here this week all so ,
