any updates mark?

[Excursion]

I've only just caught this update but wow!
That paint looks superb! you've really done a great job on that I noticed you weren't wearing an air-fed mask in the pictures, what type of paints did you use?

Two pack

I'm building the thing right now, sound proofing, waxing and bolting things on.

[jonyb4]

what now now?

cant wait for some pics then

[Excursion]

New wiper arms, full set of badges, sunroof bracket seals, door catches and some Mk8 Fiesta front panel clips to hold on the side skirts.


Butyl based Sound Deadening in tailgate, doors and rear quarters (thanks Dad), then the locks, motors etc. were added.



Dinitrol 3125 added to door and tailgate reveals prior to reassembly.


This adapter tube gives a 1m reach into box sections and its special head gives a 360 degree spray of wax, it's been very useful. I've pumped two cans into each sill.


New Mk5 Deadlocks and strikers.


I bought Mk3.5 strikers not knowing the Mk5 part was different: they look nearly identical, but there are a few small & important dimensional differences. I'll have to wait until after the holidays to order some Mk5 versions (Mk5 left, Mk3.5 right):



I also dropped off the brakes to my local engineers to have a few changes made.

[jonyb4]

looking good mark, dont fancy trying to persuade all that deadening behind the doors and door side impact bars lol
looks tricky

the cyndrical part on the strikers look larger on the mk5 on, bet the door would have been rattling on it

its all downhill from here, all fun fun

I have my Dad to thank for the sound deadening, it took a while I think we'd all had our fill of Christmas Fayre, so an escape to the garage seemed like a good option

Yeah, you're right - there are quite a few small differences.

[jonyb4]

whats next on the agenda then?

apart from getting them strikers

[Excursion]

:Q

apart from getting them strikers

Get as much as the interior in as possible, and the rest of the interior sound deadened. I still need to locate a decent early Puma dash (dark blue) as mine is the later Dark medium Graphite.

what happened with the pulsar inlet in the end babes?

Ryan forgot the head so I deprioritised that. TBH I'm going to end up selling it. If you can get me a head dropped off then I can get it sorted, otherwise, electric guitar fucks.

woah woah, when did you become staff?! Far to many changes going on for my little brain to handle!

When do you aim to have this finished by? Can't wait to see the finished article, such good quality work gone into this!

[sikora]

Just read this from the start. Amazing work you're doing. Gives me some motivation to get going on my fiesta again

[heeman10]

Bloody hell, Mr Sikora! My motorway bumchum!

[jonyb4]

i also just reread most of thsi

mark, what happend tot hem mk7 calipers? id love them but probably out my my wallets reach

[sikora]

Bloody hell, Mr Sikora! My motorway bumchum!

Hello James. Ah yes I still remember that! Missing the Fiesta ?

[heeman10]

Like you wouldn't believe I still have to have a quick watch of the videos every couple of weeks, sit there stroking the screen as it pops and chatters away! Anyway, I'll stop spamming Mark's thread now, glad you're still around dude, was good fun that day

[Excursion]

Binned them - the Mk5 RS2000 Calipers are a bolt on solution, have the same thick discs (28mm or something) but the Piston is even larger! The calipers are unique to the RS, the rest of the modern Ford range (Focus, Puma etc. etc.) use a far smaller caliper.

Ahh, great - I'll collect it when I come take out the ST loom. It will be early in Feb if that's OK?

should be perfect, I am stripping a ST170 at the moment (loom f**cked in this one) and will strip the other one after, so will try and make it so the loom is first thing out, so you can remove it as you please.

the structure does look different i gotta say, havent noticed the piston being huge compared though, but this is the only 260 set up ive had, but it isnt that small compared to the ST24 piston

Yeah, there's not much in it. The Mk7 Fiesta pistons were a fair bit larger than the Mk5 Fiesta/Puma 260mm setup, but smaller than the Mk5 RS2000 stuff. Paired up with a decent master cylinder they will give decent performance for the size.

[jonyb4]

paired with decent discs and pads, seems liek a very wise and effective upgrade


never did want to fit my ST24 brakes to the Si, limited wheel choice

[Excursion]

Got some new bits:
Focus RS head - Ported and fully rebuilt with oversize valves, new stems etc.
Newman sports cams
Vernier pulleys
Focus RS ECU, Wiring Loom and Key
Focus RS Fuel Rail and Injectors
Focus RS Inlet manifold
Another set of brand new FRS pistons (I'll keep these as spares)

I've already got some of the above, so this gives me chance to pick and choose.

nice collection you getting there mark.

what are the standard rs pistons rated to out of interest?

also i take it the rs ecu is not a eecv ecu?

[jonyb4]

i think the RS uses EECV

very nice collection there mate, be the head set you back a fair bit

has the car been progressed anymore?

400-450bhp, and the ECU is EECV but 104pin.

Nothing has moved since Christmas, but I've got another load of parts waiting for me at Ford so I need to collect those soon. I should get back for a weekend in early Feb, and at the end of Feb I'm dropping off the interior for a trim. Things should start moving nicely when that's back.
