My mate Kev jumped in the Beemer to bring the trailer out and was greeted to that hairy beast of a woman

He is still shaking with fear now



I wasnt sure who had put it there Gareth mentioned on Facebook he was partly to blame



Sorry didnt get a chance to meet mate, was a pretty mental weekend.

Im sure we will get a chance at the next Ford event or a zetec day somewhere.

 

if the car is ready we are taking it to a RWYB before classic ford to get some practice in!

 

Thats pic's gotta be your new wallpaper hey ?

 

That told me, ok hun I wont argue with that


Sure is mate its an awesome pic!

 

ive told you this time and time again! but hell no am i driving the trailer!

 

i run this tyre 11.6
2008 king of europe....

what 60 feet run???

 

First run 2.3


What pressure s you run in these Szaybk and what power where you running?

I didnt launch hard enough or rev high enough to get anywhere near the 11's. Shifting at 6500rpm not mapped higher yet.

 

10psi..max the tyre pressure...

I will be a 450 hp (I do not know exactly.....not now )

This tire is 1.9-2.0 60-foot, concrete...

what is the front suspension settings?

 

Very good times as always!

Are you on a plated diff?

 

No Anti Roll bar
350lb springs
Rose-jointed lower arms.

Should be looking to get in the low 12s high 11s once mapped fully.

Any pointers you have ??

 

Its offical

 

pm'd

 

thanks....
i using 2008 ATB diff...(as now) with IB5 box...

 

I run to you car mid 11....

 

Only on a quaife?! Surprising!

 

not quaife..not a good option for me...my diff custom...

 

The trolley......Fpmsl.Love the Black and white pic of your car.

 

nice one m8 jim is the man that is one awsome trolley ill be seeing him soon to get my rs on the dyno ,

do you work for jim ?

 

lmao you should of seen Pauls face when he seen it we almost crashed !!!!

 

Why no anti roll bar luca?

Car looked really good at pod I was impressed with the bay, a lot!

 

Cheers mate appreciate that.

In the rush to get it built we left it off along with the rest of the front end.

Will be going back on tomorrow then sort the rear brakes out as the rear master is still locked up

Look forward to catching up with everyone properly at Classic as plan to come up for the whole weekend.

 

 

Ah right ok I was thinking you had a trick up your sleeve and was going to say it helped with traction. lol

Yeah really looking forward to it too its going to be really good!

 

Lewis I think your the one with the tricks up your sleeve, pulling the puma and the fez out of no where!!!!

They will be the talk of the forum for some time now, as Darth once said:

"impresive, most impressive"

p.s. Grudge match me thinks between you, Luke, gary & stu,,,,,,,,maybe D4??? lol

top cars

 

I have got something up my sleve mate but it will be next central day before anyone sees it!

 

Beautiful machine mate, truly stunning!

 

never got to look at it properly at central day, will be sure to have a good scan over it at classic ford

 

Not updated much really as I have not used the car since Central Day.

This weekend though saw the car having some work done and MOT'd.


The rear brakes binding was down to a dodgy master cylinder which was not holding pressure and not returning. I also think the clutch pedal is doing the same so a new one of these is being ordered first thing tomorrow.

Taxed and Mot'd now so time to rack some miles up and get used to it.

Took Heather out in it today for a little drive and pretty happy with it to be honest, pedal box needs a bit of fettling though as the pedal angles are shit.
Will be sorting this out in the week/weekend hopefully.

Also Clive sorted out the fuel tray/filler I wanted.

With having the glass back in the car the filler that was window mounted in the perspex before was redundant. I had a small piece of fuel hose and the aerofiller just wobbling around in the car off the tank.

Now I have a rather trick filler with screw cap.

We go from drawing here...






To final piece fitted here...

 

Luke you got to get serious back ache when filling up now

 

Nice design!

 

Great progress mate, look forward to seeing it do some good times

 

Look far far to clean in there lol

great progress as usual dude, can't wait for my passenger ride , or can I driven it lol

 

Lovely bit of Fab work there... time to enjoy it!!

 

interior is just perfect in this, love it, due anymore power soon?

 

Love the car, superb attention to detail but as much as the filler splash bowl is a nice design I just don't like having them in the car as it always seems to stink the car out with fuel and you will at some point drip fuel everywhere.

Its quite a minor niggle in my eyes though on such a well prepared motor ! have fun on the road with it

 

Its not too bad actually mate, it helps the Fiesta boot is small.
However I agree its not the best for the us oldies

Much better than the elephant knob that was floating around before hand

Me too mate, it certainly is a handful now so with a bit of practice it should hopefully.

Clean it is but bloody hell it gets dusty quick. Need to tape up all the holes in the chassis next, I reckon I can get a few tenths of a second quicker then without the drag

Passanger seat is all yours mate

Indeed it certainly needs to be enjoyed/used now.

Interior still needs a few little bits to sort it finally but its almost there

Power will be upped and 2 maps set up in the 3-4weeks. Just going to get to grips with it all for now.

Spilt fuel couple of times and thankfully the paint is resistant to it at moment.

The smells an like are all part of the track experience, but agreed it is better if the inside is kept free of any strong smells such as fuel and oil etc.

Thanks for the comments though just need to get the thing doing some times now

 

Its a issue with stuff like that being in the car, I've not personally owned a car with a tank in the car although my Escort will run one in the boot with a splash bowl like your own so I can only hope as its firewalled that the smell won't reach the cockpit as it does eventually give you a headache !

Each to their own though, I'm not saying I wouldn't get in a car that stinks of fuel, its just something if I could I'd do my best to sort out !

 

very nice matey , couldnt you get the glass cut for the filler next ? did you manage to get me any info on the dry sump setup

cheers paul
