samco full water hose kit / roose motorsport ERST bottom boost hose, 2 90degree bends for the top intercooler, and the straight reducer was suppose 2 be another 90degree bend for the throttle body, but was sent the wrong bit



(not in picture) the water pump > radiator > header tank hose is off being modified at the local hose place to accept the larger diameter zetec waterpump

not done alot else really, as this lot cost me just over 250 getting kinda skint now

[MAD_Adamski]

welcome to my world i spent around £350 on hoses

[ianFRST]

yup, still need the breather hoses, and the hose from the header tank to the heater matrix, aswell as the heater matrix to the back of the thermostat. shouldnt be too much more as there all 16mm ID

[heeman10]

What's this business about two 90 degree bends for the top of the intercooler??

[ianFRST]

will look a little like sunnys old set up

[heeman10]

Oh of course, forgot you have the Rover inlet

[ianFRST]

you reckon just about enough room for a turbo

[Pez]

Ghost - Why not?

Ian - Have a peer under a bonnet of a car like mine and you'll see just how much room you have!! Cant even change a headlight from above, gotta go from inside the wheel arch! Fecking French pile of s**t!

[mike_wall15]

Ian, it all looks so clean, once it's finished I wouldn't want to drive it in fear of dirt!
Not to sure about those tatty items from Andy, the least he could have done was clean them! It's not like he was wheely busy

true, by the time you had finished driving, the heat from the surroundings would have cooked them, so you could have some llama pie.........mmm

[chris-fiesta]

lookin good ian, keep the updates and pics coming

[heeman10]

Ian - What do you say to powder coating the top radiator pipe silver to match the cam cover/gearbox/master cylinder etc? Shiny's always nice, but it all looks so so sweet with clean white and sleek silver, and I know you know powder coating people. Would be a really nice touch I think, along with any other metal parts you have left to fit It all looks brilliant so far, keep it coming!

[andyhardy]

Glad to hear you got them at last Ian - just a C-spanner to find now!

As for the shocks being dirty - to stop them from rusting I had them coated in copper grease, you try getting that crap off!

Function over form for me, I've never really been into the whole buftying thing

Andy

P.S. Love the Fiesta Haynes manual levelling out the workbench or shelving unit at the side of your garage!

Fairly easy to make these, a lump of 1/4" steel plate can be easily cut to shape. With the right tools of course. If anybody would like one give me a shout, i may be able to knock one or three up

[rich_frst]

LOOKING GOOD MATE... WHERES THESE UPDATES PICTURES THEN????

[heeman10]

He put them up one hour and 32 minutes before you posted that!!

Copper slip's nice and easy to clean off

[ianFRST]

well today was a crap day

raining all day so i couldnt get the car out, so i thought id roll half out and put the front coilovers on took off both wheels, both hubs both old spax shocks in about an hour (not much space to work in the garage)

went to put the new rubber top mounts, and guess what they dont pissing fit ford have given me the wrong ones, they were not wide enough at the bottom


so ive managed to put the front coilovers on, but they will have to come off again to put new rubbers on

so then i thought id have a go at putting the inlet on, seeing as i got back my custom gasket for it


looks good. till i went and got the custom boost hose roose made me, its too big, dont even fit inbetween the brake reservoir is ALOT closer than i expected not roose's fault, mine



so i need to get searching for another 90degree bend hose

was too pissed off by this point to do anything more, but i did just put my strut brace on for a trial fitment need to get some nuts / bolts for it yet



and to top the day off, was putting stuff away, and i dropped my tool box


that took me about 20 minutes to find where all the bits had rolled and put all back in

[mike_wall15]

Least you can laugh about these things Ian
So with the inlet hose, what have other people done? Looks very tight, and are 90 degree bends a problem with flow?

[MAD_Adamski]

know exactly how your feeling ian trust me!!!! mine wont even fire

[heeman10]

What a day! What are you going to do about the hose? Nasty waste of money if it's not going to fit Please will you get a new brake fluid reservoir? Shinetastic engine bay is spoiled by it! Strut brace looks quality. LLAMA at the tool box shot! Gutted!! Hate that

[rich_frst]

looking good ian!!!!

got any pictures of your inlet anywhere????

[smartyxr2i]

This guy never fails to make me smile

look a few replys above mike. i dont see a probelm with a 90degree bend, sunnys engine made well over 300 with a 90 bend right on the inlet. and ian howell did it for me, and he said it would be ok

well the hose is my fault really, i just told paul at roose i wanted a 70mm throttle body end, a 90deg bend, and the other end 51mm. thinking, what ever he made, would fit. i "might" have a go at chopping it up before i invest in another one

i will ask for how much the reservoir will cost

looking good ian!!!!

got any pictures of your inlet anywhere????

er...... yeah. in them pics above what do you want? lol

This guy never fails to make me smile

who me?

[heeman10]

Yeah sod the 90 degree bend thing, it'll be fiiiiiiiine

[Excursion]

There is nothing wrong with those top mounts you special

Also, there is no need to remove the suspension to fit new ones.

care to explain why there is nothing wrong with them?

the old ones fit over the whole of the gold cup, where as these just sit on the top kinda thing

I was just thinking that.

Mine sit like that and ive had no problems

That's because your old ones are worn, the top mounts on mk3's really are a stupid design; the weight of the car on a soft piece of rubber with nothing to stop it splaying out - resulting in s**t handling!

I wrote about this issue in my FRST resto article:
