get a spray can made up with the same colour as the wheel and paint the cap

[knuckles]

The sun strip is off .... Windscreen feels 100% bigger now, as the sky is now visable

Had to use sericol industrial thinners to remove the glue residue.

You will have to excuse my mobile camera pics, as thats the only thing i had on me at the time.

Is that the offending sunstrip dangling from the railing in the first pic?

Just have to get the decals off the skirts now unless they're staying!

Looks sweet as a nut mate, Good work.

[bakewell001]

Nice mate, just needs those green side stripes now!

[Brammer]

I think it looks 100% better without the visor, now you just need to remove the ones from the side and put your own touch on the car

[jayrs]

nice mate, you hate it not when suns beaming in your eyes lol.

na looking good mate, get them wheels silver again and the green strips back on

[purple_fiesta]

That looks so much better

[Xr_Dub]

not feeling the black wheels maybee if it was sliver then yeh,

Thanks matt . Yes that is the sun strip hanging in the wind. It will be for sale soon under Fiestaturbo.com memorabilia

Nice mate, just needs those green side stripes now!

As soon as i successfully straighten out the 2 door strips i will get them on the Rs.

Thanks fella.
I'm not sure about removing the side ones just yet, as i still want the car to be known as the recaro fiesta.

get them wheels silver again

No

That looks so much better

Thanks

I know I'm gonna have size issues with the cosworth brakes that's why if and when i do refit the std wheels , std brakes will follow suit.
Wheels are staying black.

[MarkRS2K]

looks good mate, so is everything finished now then? did you stick to you budget?

[Ghost]

gotta say the wheels look great in the flesh but look s**t in the pictures unfortunately

[Max M4X WW]

Standard brakes?! Oooh dear!

[knuckles]

looks good mate, so is everything finished now then? did you stick to you budget?

As with every car of mine, its a work in progress so no its not finished. Still got loads to keep me busy.
If i stuck to a budget with this Rs it would still be in adams garage

Unfortunately the pics do not do the wheels justice. They are much better up close.

Max - i had no problem with my std brakes on my xr2i. If you drive round with 250bhp then yes i agree bigger brakes are required. My rs is just running standard power and std boost so the original brakes will be just fine. I was thinking of grooved discs with mintex pads.

[jayrs]

er, you ment to say yes to my reply

[Max M4X WW]

Fair enough, I just used to like them for the feeling of knowing they are there. Great on motorways for gantry brakers and snarl ups anyway!

[doggpk]

mint as always

[joe boy]

i like it like that now, looks great

[NeoMagic]

Wow come a long way mate, very impressed! Glad to see its running nicely too.

[knuckles]

Update....

Took a trip down to Torque of the devil in uxbridge today to find out why my Rs is running too rich. Got it on the dyno and they did a compression test after they saw my black/oily spark plugs. All 4 pistons were just fine.



Just before the first run, connecting up the stuff. The first run came back as 124bhp and showed my boost was holding 5psi. The air/fuel ratio showed that on cruise the engine was running lean but on full throttle it was rich. Fuel pressure was ok.



This was the second run after a few tweaks. I was then told the rubber pipe that goes from the actuator to the amal valve needed replacing and a new t-piece. So on it went, altered the boost and gave it another go.....



144.5 !
Not bad from a std setup with a quick fiddle

The final run was very pleasing indeed. Sorted the air/fuel mixture after some more tweaks, the outcome...
146.5 bhp
150 lbsft peak torque
8 psi max boost.

I was happy with that. Now it idles perfectly and doesn't idle erratically in traffic. The jerkiness has now gone too, a lot more smoother to drive



Video of final run

They were very friendly, gave excellent advise on what to think about for the future and very well priced too.

excellent. bet your pleased with those results, must be like the icing on the cake after rebuilding the car, finding out its putting out so much power. congrats

[FRSJON]

nice one ....i have the jekiness too... would be good to know what the adjusted.....how much did it cost...if you dont mind

[jayrs]

nice touch mate good power for a standard rs set up

[Sphinx]

Keep the stickers on the skirts please!
Car's looking awesome! I love it!

[Max M4X WW]

Cool, Good figures! These guys seem to be doing well for being so new!

I like the DynoDynamics rolling roads, My local place (Surrey Rolling Road) has them. Seem to be very accurate!

[bakewell001]

Pretty good result there. Gotta be happy just knowing its running as it should now, but as a bonus thats a pretty good power readout

[j7aoc]

Nice one mate mine did 140 odd when she was standard. How much was the R/R and tune

[scarlet_pimp_mobile]

Gotta be happy with that!!

Is the fainter, dotted line the tourque curve yes? You can see how much they improved the smoothness of the power. The read out from first run is jerky as fook and drops down the further it revs but in the 2nd to last read out you show there it has a nice flat tourque curve. Bet it's loverly to drive

[Xr_Dub]

nice result clark, wheels look wicked up close
told you Torque of the devil where good...

i hope you enjoyed the spin in my car, i hope that gives you the itch for more power lol

[knuckles]

Thanks everyone

I'm really happy with the power output and had a big grin on my face when it reached 145.

I won't say what i paid today, but i walked funny after for a while

Scarlet pimp mobile: the broken line on the graphs is the fuel mixture - shows if its lean or rich.

The Rs feels so much more responsive now i have sorted the engine. Now i should get more fuel economy.

Sphinx: Don't worry the skirt stickers are staying

New lower arms are on the list to be done next along with replacing worn brake pads and discs. Drivers side rear coilover needs replacing too as its leaking fluid.

Note to everyone who wants to own a Rs turbo......
Make sure your pockets are big enough

Was pleased to meet you fella, your car looks very smooth. Lovely rims i must say

Like adam said - my mondys look poo in pics but in person

I have never been scared as a passenger before until today
Your car is scary fast .... i got back in my turbo and was still shocked. I would kill myself with that power at my feet

[NeoMagic]

Brilliant result on the RR mate, hope to catch up at Ford Fair If I go this year.

[Brammer]

Excellent results on the rollers, can't complain with 145 just goes to show that making them breathe better make all the difference

[jayrs]

Xr_Dub, clark told me about the ride in your car , and i also found out you live at my old stomping gound, not far from the TA centre

[knuckles]

TA centre

[Ghost]

Rolling road....Atif's car..... Why was I not informed!!!!


Sweet figure to end up with, must be well chuffed. Glad its all sorted now though!
