That gearknob was a very lucky find.
I thought XR2i_babe got the last one, obviously not

what housing? the exhaust housing or housing bolted to the core? just a stage 1 turbo mate, tony @ turbosystems reccomended a stage 1 for longer life due to different bearings and something else but cant remember what he said. for the extra £30 odd over a standard t2 its worth it.

suspected exhaust housing but its the wrong side of £200 to repair! just means the boost is all over the place as it keeps escaping! need to take the unit off and play with it really. can you send me a contact number for him? although its a turbo technics unit, the parts are universal.

not really much of an update but sourced a few little things that come in handy and freshen up the engine bay!
really want to ditch the ABS but i want all factory parts of a non ABS fiesta, not sure on all the parts i need to be honest!

yeah it just plugs in.
remember you will need to change front brake lines, and if you want to off the load valves on the back then more brake lines

Its the throttle cable clip that attaches to the plastic lead holder so the throttle cable sits neat without falling all over the place.....

Re: my 46k fiesta rst - couple of new bits!! disaster - 24-4
bit f**cked off today really, my car was reversed into yesterday by my step dad on the drive
has scratched the bodykit, bumper is a bit out of line now, put a slight dent in the wing and scuffed my brand new alloy wheel
im sure its an easy repair but i dont really need this to be honest as i was just about to order a load more new parts for the car. with the alloy i will get the finest wet and dry and polish out out as it hasnt chipped the grey paint, as you can see i have prepped the bodykit ready to be sprayed by someone!
