Oh no cant believe you given it up for Jap crap

I know where your coming from, mines been off the road for two years now and although i feel ive done a fair amount on it im really only nibbling away at it now and then when i should be getting stuck in, everything else seems to get priority

Sometime i lose the motivation to carry on and finish the RS, but then i think how much ive spent and think jeez i cant turn back now!

Have fun with your new car mate

Charlie Chalk thats not a cuppa radders, its a new kind of oil cooler... its disguise helps prevent it being nicked when on display at shows.

a zetec S fiesta would be pretty nifty... bit of a sleeper

pistons n rods together



2 breather fittings and one oil return fitting



exhaust manifold components
