Right,after much thinking,and calculating how much i could get for it in bits i,ve decided to KEEP IT..............For now..But with a few changes..
Have decided to go E.F.I. Am trying to get hold of a cheap FIESTA XR2i to help with the conversion.
IF AT FIRST YOU DON,T SUCEED................THROW SOME MORE MONEY AT IT

Have fitted them for now without PAINT & DECALS.Will do that after it,s past M.O.T and is up and running.
Bled the brakes and took it for a quick spin.All was fine until i booted it and found out i only had 4 P.S.I of BOOST

Not sure what caused it,looks like the shaft has come loose or bearing faluire and chewed the turbine up.Have had to cancel the COMPOMOTIVE ALLOYS for now and concentrated on getting it up and running.Progress will be halted for a few weeks until iv,e saved for another TURBO.
As TWINS has said,owning these kind of cars is never going to be STRESS FREE.

A few other changes as well.Last year i said i was going to convert to E.F.I. Well i've decided against that and instead gone for a new group a coil and an original airbox(drilled with a K&N panel filter)
Have also removed the chavvy dump valve.I believe the car will run better with these mods.

So thought i'd get it set up properly and booked it in for a set up on the rollers at JAMSPORT.
So borrowed the truck from work and started the 140 mile round trip.

Once it was on the rollers we soon discovered it was way out of tune(very rich ) After about an hour messing with it trying to get it right,he discovered a misfire top end.
No matter what he tried(changing leads,dizzy,plugs,coil e.c.t.It wouldn,t go.So had to leave it with him for the week.

Got a call from him a few days later and was told it was all done.
I also asked him to put it through an M.O.T as well.
Went and collected it and WOW!!!!!!
210 b.h.p and shit does it feel quick.![Top](https://passionford.com/forum/images/smilies/smile011.gif)
Not only had it PASSED the m.o.t but it was running sweet as a nut
I can honestly say that in the 7 years iv'e owned it ,it has never ran better.Starts first turn of the key every time.
Turns out it was a dodgy fuel pump,so it's now has an uprated cossie pump on.
The old pump had only done 50 miles.

A big thanks to JAMIE and the guys at JAMSPORT.
What these guys don,t know about rs,s is,nt worth knowing.

First on the agenda is painting the boot floor.This needs doing because when i welded in the new chassis rails the boot floor was marked and also new fuel pump carrier mountings are sealed in the spare wheel well.
As it stopped raining and looked like it would be sunny all day

i thought i'd crack on with the boot foor
