by **rich_frst** on Fri Feb 25, 2005 11:24 pm

bit of a delay getting pictures up, been busy at work, and can't get in the garage - there a series 1 in the way

BUT, these arrived today....

GRS Evo 3 intercooler...

This i'm affraid has now been snapped up by my little bro.... sorry to all those interested - 1900cvh

10" kenlowe blower

here's the fiesta turbo box i bought, as mentioned before...

tomorrow the engine is coming out, so i'll have some pictures tomorrow.

also i'll have some pictures up of the block on engine stand, and also of a mk4 fiesta dash which i got on monday with all the wiring loom, heater matrix, heater box, a-pillar trims etc.....

by **rich_frst** on Sat Feb 26, 2005 10:47 am

adamski frst :didn't i sell you the fans mate

yes mate, you sold me the fans-a while ago...

by **rich_frst** on Sat Feb 26, 2005 7:08 pm

TODAY...

started taking the engine out...

bonnet relegated to the roof for now...

removed intercooler, rad and fan (for sale if any one is intersted) for more access to the engine

rocker cover and cross over pipe off...

then put them back on once head bolts were loose....

head completely off and in the air...

you are probably wondering why the hell i'm taking the engine apart, well my bro's series 1 has had one of the piston rings go, so as i've had a complete bottom end rebuild - new everything, 12K ago- its easy to swap bottom ends on his.... then i can get in the garage.... :cool:

so i have my engine for sale, it will come with the series 1 bottom end instead of mine.... let me know if your interested...

engine bay, minus head

all out - you can just see the block on the floor

block and box (number 2)

all seperated....

depressing site... but well on the way now

empty engine bay

s**t picture, but my engine is to the left the 2 gearbox's i have are in the middle and behind them are the head, inlet, turbo and manifold and all the other bits i've taken off...

lots done today, now gotta build up my bottom end with series 1 bits and bobs...... hope you like

by **MarkRS2K** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 1:49 pm

by **AdamB** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 1:54 pm

thats the block i'm planning to have as the base for the engine in my mk4,, could you pm me a little more about it please

by **MAD_Adamski** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 3:24 pm

by chance was that block off ebay? :-?

by **rich_frst** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 8:28 pm

m4frd :nice, what kind of power you hoping for?

at least double standard power.....

by **rich_frst** on Mon Feb 28, 2005 8:29 pm

AdamB :thats the block i'm planning to have as the base for the engine in my mk4,, could you pm me a little more about it please

what do you want to know!?!?!??!

adamski frst :by chance was that block off ebay?

sort of....

by **PaulFRST** on Thu Mar 03, 2005 1:59 pm

hi rich

love that cage mate, does it weld in or is it just for show?

how much did it cost if you don't mind me asking

Paul

by **MAD_Adamski** on Thu Mar 03, 2005 3:59 pm

the block doesn't matter to me anymore

after a small deep chat i know understand that you have to remember its not nessecarly the actual block that makes the difference its the balancing that really matters! :wink:

you could build that engine up and still put a rod through it if not balanced correct so maybe going for a block like that is not nessecary..... :wink:

by **AdrianFRST** on Thu Mar 03, 2005 6:56 pm

I've heard bad things about the CGI blocks, such as there being a load of reject ones floating about with such minor imperfections you can't tell just by looking.

How much truth there in this I don't know.

I'd agree with Adamski 100%, other stuff matters more and if the standard block is good for 500bhp+ then next to no-one actually needs one of these.

AdamB, save your cash and spend it on pistons and rods and a proper build.

PaulFRST :hi rich

hi mate

looking good so far

just wondered if you could tell me

is the reat strut brace the 38mm, 51mm or 64mm diameter one

and the cage is it the standard one they do (main hoop/frame, frame-to-wheel arch braces, and diagonal cross-brace.) or is it with additional cross brace

cheers mate

by **rich_frst** on Sat May 07, 2005 11:09 pm

An update at last!!!!!

This is what i've been looking at on my drive for the last 2 months!!!

All un-wrapped

Finally got her in the garage...

A sad sight at the mo....... :cry:

Got her up in the air....

All i got done this afternoon was take the rear beam and hand brake cable off..... gonna do some more tomorrow....

underneath car...

a bit empty at the mo....

dirty coilovers too :cry:

nevermind getting my grandad to clean them up and then i'm having them sprayed a different colour!!!

drums off of the beam, my bro's mate is having them off me... anyone wanna buy a rear beam!??! :-?

bare beam...

and finally as i left it in the garage, Zetec S rear beam and my Focus RS stub axels already to go on for a dummy fit!!!

gonna be working on the beast tomorrow so i'll have some pictures up tomorrow night....

by **rich_frst** on Sun May 08, 2005 12:53 pm

m4frd :coming along then, this had already probably been asked but your rear lights- are they the german ones but with the reverse light red?

by **rich_frst** on Sun May 08, 2005 9:08 pm
