How have you found them mate?
Stood up well?

I ask as i am going to invest in a set for my next car but don't fancy wasting my money on them, if they aren't all that

Its a Pro Alloy intercooler which uses a RS500 core and then custom end tanks to fit between the lights on the Fiesta.

I originally had a full set on the car yes and i recommend them YES. I only retain the rear beam pivot bush now as i have changed the others bushed areas to rose joint bearings which are better still
However not recommended for road use as there not dust sealed, so you would have to maintain them ALOT!

Keep it up mate.

Sorry mate, that last bit, is that about the Rose joint bearings or the powerflex bushes

[luca]

The powerflex items are pretty much fit and forget

Rose joints are like a new born baby, check and clean every hour

Phew, you had me getting worried then

Thanks for the information

[M1K3Y_B]

Forgot to ask is the whole kit easy to fit?

I am guessing the front ones that go in the lower arms are the hardest part?

[mac_frst]

Looks the dogs wotsits mate, love it!!

I never fitted the fronts mate as i bought the area-six lower arms instead.

BUT yes i imagine they are pretty awkward to remove Ive heard people burn them out /press them out / beat them out.

impressive fezzy whats it like around a track? having owned a fiesta turbo and golf gti mk2 i think golf is better handling u got more control and less understeer? whats yours like? any track events this year or next planned?

[dangerousdave]

mate you have inspired me to rip out my cvh lump and start work on a zetec turbo!SOOOOOO..... you fancy welding that very same gear box mount in for me!?

[luca]

Hard to compare with the above due to alot of items being changed from standard or off the shelf goodies. The car handels the power amazingly, i can only offer passanger rides to prove this so if your at any days next year come on over

Its possible for sure.. HOWEVER im sure JimmyEsh will agree on this its more in depth than i first thought.
For my application due to the power im wanting to run through the thing, it cost me sooooo much more than i first thought.

Dependent on power wanted honestly i would say stick to a 5-speed gearbox man jobbie. If you want bigger horsepower then fit the 6-speed.
The benefits DONOT make that much of a difference to warrant the cost IMO.

BUT anyone wanting to fit one im more than happy to list/advise whats needed

[FRSJON]

[dangerousdave]

mate you have inspired me to rip out my cvh lump and start work on a zetec turbo!SOOOOOO..... you fancy welding that very same gear box mount in for me!?

cheers mate very kind of you! will be next year cuz im back in england in 2/3 weeks to pick up my new van (new to me) and a 2l black top so work starts on the engine next month with a bore, forge pistons and steel rods by end of jan, any advise on the crank as i want over 350/400 bhp is a standard one ok ? what have you used?

cheers Dave

[luca]

Crank wise an original crank i.e not ground etc will handle 500hp this is the limits im told.

However currently i know of a 520ish Zetec running a standard crank still so as long as built well this will be fine.

Im still running a standard crank in mine as i dont intend to run anymore than 450hp.
The price tag of 1500 is steep for a uprated crank and thankfully the standard crank works

[luca]

Couple of shots of the wheels which show them more clearly.

[frstvanman]

[JamieFRST]

Wheels are a good choice, can see more of the tasty brake setup now
