Re: project:UFO
time for a bit of a update,not a lot has happened to the car itself lately due to the weather but many parts have been bought and modified to suit the car...
the cylinder head has been cleaned,skimmed,new valve stem seals,valves ground in,drilled and tapped for the stainless escort rst exhaust manifold and area six valve springs fitted..

the seats.. sparco touring in carbon


we are now using the grs intercooler that we have plus a alloy rad and both have been painted satin black..


the jamsport inlet i had a few years ago is back and going on the car still with it carbon covering

and one of the rocker cover ive painted,its ash black with a focus rs sticker embedded in the paint for the 'raised but not in your face' appearance
(looks really in need of a polish but thats just the flash

thats all the pics i have at the mo but loads more parts to follow and hope to have the engine built over christmas and once its in the car loads will start to happen
the emerald ecu and loom are back with emerald for a upgrade and a base map plus some loom modifications

Re: project:UFO
tbh mate, if you got on on your car, you just as well take it off for jon, will be a lot quicker then me trying to fine mine, if that is, i still have it, and the amount of crap i would have to move to get to where it may be isnt worth doing, if jon is desperate for one, then ill rip it out and look, other than that its not really worth it
