everything is up for grabs mate :lol:

think it will be sadly broken up before completion

by **reisskahn** on Wed Mar 08, 2006 4:35 am

hi mate how come your breaking it after all that hard work

by **ianFRST** on Thu Mar 09, 2006 9:38 pm

to cut a long story short :lol:

basically needs injectors (300ish) live mapping session (600ish) t34 turbo (680) sort the inlet probelm out, sort the actuator bracket out. MOT, tax.

id never be able to sell it whole for the 7-8k id want, so id have to break it up. so i dont see a point in spending another 1500+ to only break it anyway

Well done for getting straight onto it though, otherwise it would've sat there for ages with you making excuses for not taking things off it. Here's hoping it all sells fast

by **ianFRST** on Mon May 01, 2006 9:57 am

ive decided for a black / white affair in the engine bay

the black things were matt black, and ive think ive made a mistake by choosing matt instead of gloss

but oh well :bonkers:

not like im keeping it :lol:

ive had the rocker cover, charge carrier, bonnet stay, suspension tops, coil pack bracket, engine hoist brackets

and im taking my gti wheels on tuesday for coating in black or white, not sure yet :bonkers:

by **Max M4X WW** on Mon May 01, 2006 11:06 am

by **ianFRST** on Thu May 11, 2006 12:23 pm

**UPDATE 11/5/06**

not much i can say really

but it 100% wont be at fiesta in the park this year.

bought the car in december 2002, been to fitp 2003, 2004, 2005 all WITHOUT my car, and ill be without it in 2006 aswell :cry:

worked on the car ALL day saturday, sunday didnt do anything as it pissed down all day, worked on it after work till dark on monday, tuesday and yesterday. and its 95% done, but will be impossible to get mot'd taxed and insured now

problems being, the gearlinkage / selectors wont fit for some reason :-?

driveshaft got stuck in the hub and fooked the bearing trying to get it out :cry:

done LOTS to it tho, taken it from a bare shell, to nearly being able to drive it again, after over 2 years

i cant wait

will upload all the pics tonight when i get home

by **Superal** on Thu May 11, 2006 12:25 pm

Shame you wont make it but at least you got a ford to come in this year

by **ianFRST** on Sat Jul 22, 2006 12:41 pm

**UPDATE 22-7-06 **

well, ive not update this for ages, so i thought ive give it one.

got the engine in and working, got the interior in, got the escort gti rims done in gunmetal grey, removed the mirror effect windows, and replaced them with standard frst items

and it was looking like this

then the t2 turbo decided it wanted to leak

so its been pretty much not touched since then. piece of s**t car :lol:

ive been saving money to get a t3 turbo, and new exhaust and all the bits needed to do a t3 conversion.

so this morning i took the turbo off (with the rad and intercooler still in) took me 30 mins :d which i was well happy about :lol:

so then took my old exhaust off. i hate taking exhausts off, there so fecking awkward, this took me 3 times longer than the turbo did

got my new t3 downpipe last week from mikee (old exhaust on left, new on right)

danny @ RA Desings is full rebuilding my turbo with new everything as we speak, and should be with me some time in the week. so holefully will be on next weekend

fingers crossed, again :lol:
