I really must pull my finger out and do an update 
Ok - the intercooler is mounted (had to refabricate the end tanks to make them 90 degrees), the engine and gearbox are mounted, the driveshafts have been offered up and measured and are now in the process of being shortened, lightened and balanced...
The paint is due to go on the shell soon - both inside and out in mercury grey...
The focus is now sold so that's freed up some cash for the interior and brakes etc.
It's still going on - i promise

Yeah - there's loads of pics on the digital camera up at the workshop - really must get round to posting them all for you
Cheers for the comments guys - the next installment WILL blow your socks off...
(In a similar way it did to my bank manager no doubt

Yeah, sorry about the lack of updates boys and girls
It is still going on - don't worry!
The guy who's spraying the car for me is having some work done to his workshop which has delayed things a bit - but in a way thats been a good thing as it's allowed me to stockpile just about ALL the bits ready to build it up when the shell's sprayed
I really want to try and get to National Day with it

Will be worth it in the end... If it aint done in time for national day dont rush it as i'm not going there anyway. 
On a serious note it will all be worth it in the end.

Be good seeing as we're both chasing the magic 400bhp figure
Oh and i'm really sorry for the lack of updates, unfortunately due to my non fault car crash i've been unable to get over to the workshop recently...
However - the crash has drawn me to one conclusion:
Safety.
So i'll be building a T45 cage

Right, well it's 2am and its too hot to sleep...
As such - seems an ideal time to do an update
Unfortunately i haven't got the pictures back from the workshop yet - the digital camera up there seems to have got buried under a million bits of kit...
So - until they arrive, to keep you guys happy - i'll give you a quick overview of what i do have pictures of
- Ordered 2 of these puppies, they should be with me soon enough - they're the 'excel' versions of the Pro Series - for that extra bit of width 
Then i managed to find an 'incomplete' holley wet nitrous kit on fleabay - the good thing being that it was brand spanking new apart from it'd been taken out the box and the old boy had lost a few bits. Those few bits cost me about £8 to replace and i picked the entire kit up for £210
In with this photo you can see the OMEX500 management, the OMEX launch control, GT28RS Turbo and Focus Central 65mm Throttle Body.
Next up were the brakes - obtained through compbrake - 315mm rotors and bells, billet 4 pot calipers, brackets, nuts, bolts, pads etc. All for less than £600
Bit of a tight fit under the wheels
Then i pulled off a little deal and upgraded my OMEX500 management to Pectel T2 free of charge:
Figuring that whilst aquamist is clever stuff - i am only relatively clever and a gauge that told me what it was doing would be handy
Speaking of gauges - you probably spotted the Defi boost gauge in the above pic... Yep. I bought Davescos's gauges off him and then spoke to Christian at APT about a Defi Rev Counter....
Anyway - here you go, pics of the Oil Pressure, Fuel Pressure, Exhaust Gas Temperature, Rev Counter and Defi Link Digital Display for Water Temp, Speed etc:
So yeah, the storage spot now looks like this:
Pics of the car to follow soon - maybe even with its cage in

ello mate....i havent checked this thread for AGES now but glad i did now!
just wondering what turbo you are going to be running on the zetec engine mate? injectors? inlet? exhaust manifold? ok ok....whats the spec of the engine PMSL i do apologise if this has been asked many times before but just curious as i can see AR.70 on the turbo in ur sig i hope for my own engine to be complete in the next month or so then its time to sort the gearbox out so i can rag the car and not think about breaking anything...i hope!
goodluck with everything mate! i know it'll be a MONSTER and DEF one of the quickest S2's out there when complete

Hi guys - so sorry for the lack of updates
Unfortunately the guy who's doing the spray work for me had an accident involving an angle grinder and the inside of his arm
He's been off work for quite a while and with him being self employed built up a bit of a backlog - so in that respect there's not a lot more to say/show you right now.
He is a top bloke and his workmanship is spot on - so i'll be waiting for him to make a full recovery before he does the shell
As you've probably all seen - i've left Honda Racing F1 now and am due to start at RC Developments in about 10 days time - so we'll see what the jap influence teaches me...
Thanks for all your interest so far and as soon as there is more to update you with - i will

Right!
Good news
Spoken to Chris who's doing the bodywork and he's recovered from his injury now
I'm going down to see him soon to finalise the colour and finishing touches to the shell but can confirm that the engine and gearbox are in place, the intercooler is snugly fitted between the headlights and there's an 8 point T45 rollcage being made
Photo's as soon as i can
P.S - I think the engine will be coming back up north with me...
