A damn good spec and a nice looking motor.

[sjoyce666]

Looks awesome

Why are you running Megasquirt instead of the standard Mondeo ECU and Fiesta Si loom ?

How do you get on with the 50 profile tyres on the front ? any scrubbing as when running 15's on a Fiesta normally people choose to go for 45 profile to make sure there is minimal or no scrubbing

What other plans have you got for it ?

Certainly not a bad daily driver to have !!

[XRMike]

Looks awsome,nicely done! What power is it running ?

[garyhurn77]

looks real nice mate, though i am not a fan of the si front bumper, other than that lovely colour, nice wheelsm nice engine

why did you fit megasquirt when the ford stuff is easier to instal and fundementally alot cheaper?

good though mate

gary

[bakewell001]

Looks like a really clean car, and a nice spec too.

Nice for a runaround!

[frostie]

Cheers for the comments guys iam using megasquirt on a nearly standard motor as my best friend installs megasquirt as a part time job and he needs a demo car so i get it all fitted ! and we are using a EECV-IV adapter board which plugs the megasquirt via a relay cable direct to the ford ecu connector so no loom chopping at all! we have just finish building a diy launch control which works in conjuction with megasquirt so maybe fitting that soom. i also have throttle bodies to go on but i think future plan is turbo in about 6 months so thats why i run megasquirt!

my tyres do rub slightly but that mainly because iam a lane warrior but i had mk5 phase II zetec S alloys on before same size tyres no rubbing but i do now for some reason!

power is some where i the region of only 150bhp but ive been seriously practising my launches a lot so i do surprise people!

i would like a rs accessory bumper for the front but i need something that can take a intercooler with not a lot of restriction for airflow any ideas??

[Ram]

nice spec nice car

[Sphinx]

Looks different to when I saw it!

Quality car mate

[frst2006]

Yeah, nice car, and nice spec. Anthracite? My mondy wheels will be very similar shortly. I like the SI front with the splitter, but i'm not a fan of the zetec-s rear so much.

[frostie]

Sphinx - done few extra mods and bit on exterior ! hows your car coming on any how?

frst2006 - the colour of the wheels is Rover MG Xpower grey as my mate has loads left from when he painted one !
and the zetec s is an improvement of how the back used to look



any ideas on the front bumper then?

[Rusey]

looks lovely, well done!

[frostie]

Considering getting some carbon door cards and bucket seats with harnesses

what your thoughts ??

also what bumper shall i go for when i turbo i quite like RS RAWLI's can someone tell me what it is ?

[Tweek]

Spotted this in Alton Towers car park back in November. Looked rather tidy so knew it had to belong to someone off the forums

[Shell]

Looking good... looks clean and tidy every week when i see it... didnt know it was a daily driver.. wish mine was that clean every week

x x

[Philie*RST]

what your thoughts ??

also what bumper shall i go for when i turbo i quite like RS RAWLI's can someone tell me what it is ?

just a frst bumber with his custom VR6 spliter and smoothed line

i like the colour looks spot on.

not sure on buckets what sort you thinking on getting?

[frostie]

tweek- yeah changed a little since then (sorry about wheels got them cheap)

shell- thanks thats because i am constantly cleaning it not seen yours for a while?

phillie*RST - not sure what buckets something cheap but look good and have some comfort just in black be nice, just want buckets because been doing a lot round the lanes with this car club that go out most thursday's but dont know if we will be out again as some guy who owns a Vauxhall Monaro V8 went bit to far and caught a tree he wasnt happy

[Shell]

shell- thanks thats because i am constantly cleaning it not seen yours for a while?

She is away having plastic surgery... being welded and painted

Mid march she'll be back with a whole new look x

[Tweek]

tweek- yeah changed a little since then (sorry about wheels got them cheap)

Lol yeah I looked at the first pics and thought it wasn't the same car! Scrolled down a bit and saw the old wheels . I never saw the back end but looks a great improvement!

[xr_bass]

nice car mate very clean lol. really like what you have done. i dont normally like the maroon si's but yours its an exception lol nice one.

[Stuartcarvell]

Can i ask what the ride is like on the H&R coilovers?
Especially interested in what its like compared to standard setup?
Thanks
Stuart

[dennehyboy]

your car is done so well, everything is done well, like the grey escos wheels, for some reason i have never been a fan of the si bumper, the rs/xr one is my fav, thinking of any engine coversions or that for this car?

[Mish]

Looking good Frosty- I passed you the other day in Thornton. Sunday I think it was

[happypaul]

Looking good mate, big improvement over the si rear bumper, and I love the colour of the wheels

70 miles a day commute in that must be expensive tho? I commute 150 miles a week just for college on 3 days and thats using 3/4 of a tank in the RS1800

[Mish]

I used to do 40+ miles everyday in the RST. You drive it for the love... not the lack of money

[frostie]

mish- yea i thought i saw you i live pretty much round the corner from there

happypaul- cars are for driving so no one carnt say i dont drive mine
if it was a RS i mite of kept it under a cover but its not so i use it to its full potential

[happypaul]

mish- yea i thought i saw you i live pretty much round the corner from there

happypaul- cars are for driving so no one carnt say i dont drive mine

yeah i use my daily, end of the day its a 13 year old fiesta in my eyes anyway.. i was just thinking of the cost just for you to get to work and back

[knuckles]

i would like a rs accessory bumper for the front but i need something that can take a intercooler with not a lot of restriction for airflow any ideas??

the cosworth front bumper would allow better air flow for a intercooler if you go for a front mounted one and mount it in the lower region where the second opening is.

The one in the pic has a add on splitter which you can choose to fit if you wish but i think thats a bit too low for a daily driver.

Nice car btw

[frostie]

not just fuel carnt lie i have been through hand full of engines 1.6,1.8 and now on second 2.0ltr iam a pro now a fiting zetecs in fiesta 16v's takes me 5 hrs to take engine out rebuild new one and fit it

thanxs knuckles looks quiet nice

[Stuartcarvell]

Sorry to ask again,
Whats the ride like on the H&R's?
(the more detail the better)
Thanks
Stuart

[frostie]

Sorry to ask again,

Thanks
Stuart

hi stuart the ride with the H&R is very good it totally changed the car in the way it handled i dont find it too harsh either everyone says coilovers are too harsh for road use but i bought the H&R as people said there the best on the road comfort wise but there still pretty stiff the damping isnt adjustable on my set but to be honest just for fast road use there good enough + i got them cheap !! any more info needed ?

[frostie]

hi there quick update...

just picked these up tonight bargain like new no rips £130!



also got some brand new Sabelt 3 point harnesses to go with them get some pictures of when iam ive fitted them tommorow hopefully.

thanks

[frostie]

Well quick update seats in after making my own sub frames look really good well i think change the feeling of the car again love it feels like my arse is on the floor all the time

also headlining is out as the sunroof had a little leak and the lining had gone minging and damp leak no fixed one of the drain pipes had poped off !

will get some pictures of the engine bay and interior by the end of the week.

also been looking at these for ages so just went for it hope there worth the price tag.

[doggpk]

cars looking good

[frostie]

well time for an update when i get home i will load some photo's and a few surprises.

as you all well know i went to york at the weekend with the aim to be my personal best of 15.03 i havent done anything to my car engine spec since only diffrence is i fitted launch control using megasquirts built in launch control and wooo i love it i will post a vid up when i get home from work.

and my newest time is a magical 14.90 iam very pleased as i estimate my power only being 140bhp!

the compare in this months fast ford theres a focus st running 285bhp and it only manages a 14.91 and also a friend of mine has a completely stripped skoda vrs running 251bhp rolling roaded same day at that and he only managed a 14.60
