I was very flattered by the amount of people whom wanted to have a closer look, it certainly did get bust at times.

The dash has taken alot of time to get right and is so different to the last set up but im happy with it now.

s**t hot mate!

[AdmanGrippa]

UPDATE, UPDATE,

Cam on ! ! !

[luca]

Time is surely ticking…..

Yes I have been rather slow to be honest but not down to me 100% I have been awaiting products to arrive from suppliers.

The remainder of the silicone hoses are currently being made and also some alloy pipe work to join the said pipe work up
I have decided to remove the silicone pipe work behind where the exhaust runs on the bulkhead and use alloy flared ended pipes
As these will be sustain the heat a little better.
The pipes will see heat proof sleeving and also be shielded by well….. heat shield lol.

That is then the pipe work completed. Next is some more heat proofing, as the pics show above I have started with this but the route the down pipe
Takes it needs to be encased in heat proofing sheet to protect all around. Especially as running so close to vital components.

The injectors and injector driver have also been ordered which will link up the fuel system as has the remainder of the fuel hose and aero quip fittings to
Run through the car.

As most will have noticed the car at FITP was missing al of the above and some more so still a little way to go, and to remove the wiring the loom and have the new one made fitted.

Drive shafts have been sent and should be with me Monday which can then be assembled and connected to there respective joints and locations.
The issue I had the past two weeks since FITP was that I had a slight after thought.. I had the wrong sump fitted on the car..

Due to running focus st170 box and driveshaft style (although re-made) this mounts the half shaft to the back of the 2-piece sump…
I thankfully sourced one in quick time and had the oil return welded on .blasted then painted.

Will fit this at the weekend with the st170 oil pick up.

Oil breather is the last piece of the jigsaw Pro Alloy have been sent the drawing of what I want and I await there package to arrive.

All in all yes im stressed to the max and il be glad in two weeks when its off to be wired and mapped. I can finally save some money for fuel to run it…

I cant wait for the thing to be strapped on the rollers

[AdmanGrippa]

Well done m8 least the end is in sight!

Roll on 2 weeks cant wait to see it all finished!

[jonboisescort]

i cant wait to see this go

well done by far one of the best mk3s ever

[xrsi]

A couple I got mate...

I spy a ifor williams CT177 car transporter.......

Cracking trailer, i used to be a production controler for them in one of their factory's! was looking into getting one with the 20% discount i would have recieved at the time but couldnt justify the costs of one! am looking at prob getting its baby brother at some point, hopefully through a mate who still works there so i get the discount still! - shame the company wasnt as good as the trailers tho!

Cracking pics of it mate and really cant wait to see it as i missed FITP! good idea with swapping the silicon hoses over the turbo, they could of got a bit sloppy....

[luca]

The trailors are awesome but YES price is steeep for them.

I hired this one for the weekend for £60 and to be honest you cant beat that....

£1200 for a decent 2nd hand one and where do you keep it, considering the fact your use it 6 maybe 8 times max a year..

6 x £60 is a deal and you dont have to maintain it or worry for its safety with regards being stolen.

Cheers for your words mate

[jimmyesh]

Coming on well there, the attention to detail on this car is just mind-boggling

This car is setting new standards, can't wait to see it for real

[garyhurn77]

hello

some quality work has gone into this and f**k knows how much £££££ but it is a real credit to you mate, it was a shame fitp clashed with my holiday as it was the car i most wanted to see, but im shore i will see it at some point this year!

keep up the good work, im very jealous as i iwsh my little silver had evolved as fast as this has

good luck in the next few weeks

[luca]

Cheers Boys,

Although this weekend not much has happend ive decided due to FORDS lack of thought in NOT having a sump gasket on the shelf, to have a chilled day on the beach.

There are a few bits needed which arrive Monday so il wait till then.

Its the first Saturday in 6months ive not worked on it, its Great! even the chick is happy! !

[jimmyesh]

That's the biggest combined battle, Luke - Working your ass off to pay for it all in the first place, finding the time to actually spanner on the car, then to top it all off you still have to keep 'er indoors happy and still find time to sleep, socialise, keep fit etc The life of a Fiesta modder is a hectic one!

[jayrs]

looking spanking mate,

[jimmyesh]

Hey Chap, have you taken delivery of the driveshaft yet?

[luca]

Hey Chap, have you taken delivery of the driveshaft yet?

Yes mate arrived yesterday and is ever so chunky so i can see how its rated so high on bhp.

I shall collect the new cv joints tri-bearings and boots this Friday and assemble, then fit on saturday, although its the girls birthday.
