[pornstar!]

alot ov graft thier mate, end result is worth it though

[heeman10]

Nice one! Look at those big brakes Hehe do they work well then?

[DaveRom]

Thanks for the comments

James they're superb, so much better than those crappy standard ones. I'm trying to get into the habit of braking later (a lot later).

It got ridiculous with the standard one's but now these babies stop me sooooooooooooooo much better without me pooing my pants.

Thanks mate

Dave

They're s**t

Might as well have had two holes cut in floor and stopped it with my feet flintstone style.

Thanks Dave, been contemplating going back to standard bumpers but i think the cossie front now looks spot on with the cooler behind it.

[Statey]

i had to take the plastic water cover off the back of my spots and rap it in plastic, lol

Did exactly the same as you have done.

The set of indicator covers i got of ebay were a lot better than the original ones i got with the bumper. Used a dremel to cut the plastic back so they sit more or less perfect!

Dave

Hmm, i may just give it a go.

I've tried it with an si rear before but didn't like it.

Dave

[jayrs]

cool cheers mate.
as for rear bumper, i think it look ok mate, dont think it would looks good but i like the idea of the bit in black, photo shop it

im trying to blend in a st24 lower splitter on to a si bumper at the mo, well , will be soon, but im having thoughts of going mk4 boot etc but dunno

[DaveRom]

Its been ages since i've done anything to the fiesta but now its off the road things are going to happen.

This will probably be the final work carried out on it before i call it a day (spending wise).

Some bits i've assembled

Brand new AP Paddle Clutch kit for a stupidly low price of £150



OFAB ecu and beiges. ECU was picked up for a bargain £60. The injectors cost £70 and have been cleaned and flow tested with new seals fitted etc at a cost of £80.



An uprated fuel pump brand new unused, again another bargain at around £75



Finally a knackered hybrid T2 with uprated actuator which will be used in exchange for my new unit.

The turbo was in bits but i put it back together saturday morning. I wish i'd have taken some pics really so people could see just how small the components of a T2 are and the state the shaft was in.



The engine will be low comp and hopefully producing power around 220-230hp. All this is going to be rushed through within the next 2-3 months, hopefully in time for the FT Brunters job.

If the shootout thing happens in June its unlikely i'll be able to make it due to the World Cup but i'd still like my car to be there if the organiser's allow it. So i've lined up a mystery driver who will put it through its paces.

Some say he can build engines blind folded, in a night drink a W.M.C dry all by himself, single handedly save the MK3 Fiesta Turbo and behind the wheel is faster than the human eye

Soooooo here's a pic of the geezer.....















Sorry you'll just have to wait and see

I'm also changing the interior colour too. This will probably be done in stages with the plastic parts the first bits to be done. It will be toned down to what it is now and should finish the car off nicely.

A taster for whats to come, this is my new wheel



Once the Fiesta is finished it won't be broke but used for shows and sprints etc and will be joined, hopefully, in the summer by another blue oval.

Will keep the updates coming in here as they happen.

Cheers

Dave

[Raymondo]

your car looks very nice, im not usually a fan of the cossie bumpers but i like that.
