hello peeps.

im converting my fiesta zs to a toy for track, im sticking a 2.0 duratec in it, just building the engine up now.

ive got a rough idea, poly windows, cage, seam weld, DTA management, etc

just wondering what else i could have missed out?
I want it to be a proper little toy

any website, forum link or suggestion welcome

cheers peeps

 

Have you checked out www.zsoc.com there are plenty of track orientated mk5 fiestas on there. A good fuel system and brakes, gauges etc to keep an eye on things. Speak to Olli at OC Motorsport he's just done a full conversin using he 2.0 Duratec and its absolutely rapid!

 

im on zsoc, but alot of there cars are slightly modded track/road cars, im after a more hardcore track car only.

ive search for track car prep (and similar stuff on google but comes up with alot of random stuff.

 

anybody else, got any ideas

 

coilovers,big brakes,fire extingusher,888's

 

got gaz coilovers with adjustable damping

brake i was thinking the popular mk3 mondeo caliper or hi spec 4 pots

maybe a manual fire extinguisher plumbed in

i might buy a 2nd set of wheels and stick slicks on, 888's are good

what about asphalt tyres like hankook Z209?

 

I wouldnt use lo-spec,too many bad tales about that company.The mondeo route will be a cheap fix,or if you want the proper 4 pots contact Tony in my sig.Slicks are expensive,unless you use 2nd hand 17" ones,but can't see you getting enough room to fit them on a fiesta.I know nothing about the hankooks,never used them.Regards,Micky

 

can i ask why 17"?

are they not as common in 15" or 16"?

 

If you can find lightly used 15" slicks give me a PM,as rare as rocking horse sh*t!!!17" are for sale by the vanload,Regards,Micky
