[Stuartcarvell]

Hello,
How did you get your rear axle looking so smooth?
Thanks
Carvey

[HCS PIMP]

easy angle gridder and about 2 hours did this ot my caliper carriers using a file came out alot smoother just takes patients and an eyes for detail

[rsonblackwheels]

to get the rear beam smooth i used an orbital sander and some tuff sand paper,

then spent about 2 days getting it as smooth as poss there is lots of sides to sand

then a coat of hammerite hammered black apllyed with a brush, i think i did about 3 decent coats, good fun

did the same on the Fule Tank, Roll bar n claps and the underside of the boot floor


MaxMXWW: yeah i'm thinking of diffrent plates, probaly a small one for the front, what do you mean by standard? can you get them with a Ford RS dealership name on the bottom? that would be cool

thanks for the coments people

[jayrs]

i used a wire brush wheel on the grinder when i done my rear beam, took about 20 mins i think

[Brammer]

Wow, aint looked in here for while, you've made good progress

[Turboboy67]

Excellant progress fella,

you going to be at Ford Fair with it ??

[rsonblackwheels]

i can't get to Ford Fair this year , it falls on the weekend i'm going across to Germany to have a few laps of the Nurburgring

I'm having trouble finding insuance for going around the ring not that i'm palnning to hit the armco or put it on it roofs

thanks for the coments

[andymcd]

more pics plz

[jayrs]

try HIC mate, im covered for track days, although i never asked for it, it just came on the insurance, mind you i dunno if that would cover me in germany

[Ram]

love it, looking really good

you mentioned you got anti lag on you new set up. do u mean u have the option for it? or you actually have it working? i thought u needed a maram shaft in your turbo or the turbo would just s**t itself straight away?

guessing you were happy with torque of the devil, im planning on getting mine set up there once its running

looking sweet with the green strips

[Fezzy Turbo]

Really liking what you have done with the car and the black wheels look great, which i might do myself i cheated with my rear beam by getting it powder coated, so now burshes, files or angle grinders

[rsonblackwheels]

thanks for the replies people

Ram: the anti lag is turned on and its only a mild form so there is no real need for the maram247 shaft they are mega exspensive, the ECU also has the option for loads more tricks like launch control, full throttel gear shifts, hard or soft cut rev limiters and even shift lights, but i didnt have enough funds to link up every thing i wanted yet i'll keep ya up-dated

jayrs: thanks dude i'll give HIC a try

catch you later

[Ram]

mate that is awsome, so you get all the pops and bangs but without the expensive turbo, love it. you'll have to try get a video up

im prob gonna drop you you a pm soon with some questions bout your ecu if you dont mind.

cheers fella

[rsonblackwheels]

i will help anyway i can dude, no prob

it tends to work best when its got the exhaust nice and warm, dosn't seem to do much hammering around ring roads but around B - roads when i'm on off the throttle it works quite well

catch you later

[RsMadLuke]

I like the new bits and bobs you have put on the Turbo

[rsonblackwheels]

thanks dude

[rsonblackwheels]

elo

i'v had the gear linkage out of the RST this time to try and get rid of a nasty case of Mr Floppy felt like it you could get 8 gears! and after having a drive in my Dads really low millage one n feeling what the linkage should feel like i tought it was time to sort it out

so i dropped the linkage out



split it up, EWWWWW lots of nasty black grease

i got some new blocks and springs off ebay



i dunno if you can make it out but the old ones have got a very worn edge and the new ones are nice n square



the old springs where nicely compressed too



the linkage cleaned up quite nice



so i'v put it back toghether with fresh grease, bolted it all back in and its much better, almost like new or rather like my old mans one

the blocks n springs where in Ford packets don't know weather they you still get them from Ford but the numbers are:
6 172 154 pasador-segurid
you get 1 spring and 1 block per packet so you need 2 really

i'v also been gathering up bits n pices for my T3 conversion and got a decent sized air filter at the weekend




hmmmm might be abit of squeeze

catch you later

[jonboisescort]

looks good mate

likin the air filter

[Ram]

that filters bloody massive! as is your oldskool mobile phone

you gonna do a battery to boot or just squeeze that cone in there?

[frstvanman]

looks sweet

[snakeyjake]

alot of time and effort has gone in to this keep up the good work looks amazing

[rsonblackwheels]

thanks for the comments

Ram: yeah dude oldskool phones rule!! and don't brake as easy lol, yeah i think the battery mught be heading for the boot to make way for the air filter, have to try and get another battery tray as a spare just incase i ever wanna turn bacl back to standard


catch you later

[rsonblackwheels]

if anyone has got Fast Car mag yet you will see my Fiesta RST on pages 049 and 052, part of cruise nation, just lil pictures but makes me happy

it was a cruise organised by one of my local car clubs Southern Modified Car Club, who i have been a member of for some time and was a X Sport Racing, in Basingstoke.





lil caption on page 049 "watsssssch" thats exactly how it sounds

hope you like

[Ram]

just noticed this update..

yeh im thinking of doing batt to boot. purely because ive now stripped my rear out. but i dont wanna cage it as thats just putting weight bk in. so i might stick a battery in there just to make it look abit more busy in the back

well done on getting ur car in the mag. ive always wanted mine in a mag, even if its just a small pic. but i never have it out the garage long enough to get it around lol.
was it a good cruise then? i miss oldskool chavy cruises so much. we used to go reading cruise back in the day when i had a punto gt rep lol. and those were some of the most fun evenings ive ever had

ace cafe and chealsea bridge are the nearest i get to crusies these days

[rsonblackwheels]

thanks dude

yeah the cruz was gr8, had some side by side racing as it was an empty industrial estate at 9pm on a saturday but the police soon stopped that

i had some good times at Reading cruz back in the days with my Mk1 XR2 n SR Nova on 40's, got kinda dodgy though with a bad atmosphere after a HUGH gang fight kicked off one night then pikes moved in, was gr8 fun hammering up there with my lil crew got my 1st points on the dual carageways too shame its stopped pretty much now

there is still a good Jap night on thow 3rd tuesday of the month which is properly organised which i get to in my Civic VTI (every day drive)

i no what you mean about the backend looking bare too,its just beeging for a cage! but mine feels a lil twitchy when hard on the 4pots now some scary moments when combine with rear discs befor the adjustable bias valve was fitted

[hb69]

You got that rear brake balance problem sorted then Ashley? You might be able to lap Combe quicker next time if thats all ok now

[jonboisescort]

it does make you feel good when your cars in a mag

no matter what size the pic

[rs1800dom]

the rs is coming along nicely buddy. looking foward to the new spec being built up. might have to get you to give me a hand when i start doing my rs1800 linkage. got the magazine other day. lol. thats three mags now your in isnt it? lol that means its a full feature soon then?

[rsonblackwheels]

retro festa: thansk dude may get a feature one day, just give me a shout when you wanna hand

yeah got the brakes sorted now Henry and am dying to get around comb agagin (maybe even in the dry) i'v also been collecting bits and bobz for my T3 conversion (pics to follow soon) hopefully it will be ready for the action at combe again

up-date coming soon

catch you later
