Lookin good mate

[jayrs]

Look's ace mate!! Have you got that T3 on there yet?

he hasnt yet mate.

[garyhurn77]

best modification you could ever do to a fiesta turbo is fit a t3!

lovely looking car, amazing amount of work gone into this and the final outcome is stunning!

keep up the good work!

[Ghost]

sweeeeetttttt

[knuckles]

Thanks guys

I wont be rushing to fit the T3. I may even send it off to be refurbed before fitting it. Still need to source a certain list of parts before i even think of fitting it. (injectors, downpipe etc)

My leaky sump and oil filter are getting on my nerves and the crank oil seal has gone alternator side. Belt is Squeaking from the oil.

I want to drop the engine out and renew all the gaskets and have a gander with the head off before i give it anymore power. The car will remain looking standard so no silly intercoolers will be appearing.

I fitted brand new Standard mirrors on wednesday along with new window seals. Im now a official standard freak !

[jayrs]

[knuckles]

Another picture update

Brand new mk3 mirrors and factory fresh window seals





The rest of the interior is back to Rs grey now. Rear door cards, rear shelf and shelf supports. B and C pillars covers finally refitted along with seat belt adjusters which are not snapped. Just need a rear tow eye welding back on

What do you think ?

Why have you got 2 aerials
Love the standardness

[jayrs]

i think i better cut you off a rear tow eye and weld it on for ya when you come over.

i belive he has 2 arials as they were both fitted when he got the car, still, can be sorted out when you come over if ya want clark

[freak power]

Its nice to see a modified car go back to standard

Not saying a disliked it when it was modified

Good standard ones are fetching more money these days

[niracka]

As said it is really nice to see it go back to standard.

Changed alot since I saw it at FITP lol.

Well done keep up the good work man

[~nomad~]

i am totally undecieded on those mirrors, 3.5 ones defo look better, but on that car, perhaps not.

Cheers fella. I have no idea what the second aerial is for, been there since i got it. under the headlining is just a unpluged connector of some sort. It may of been a in car phone of some sort

Jay - Was you gonna remove the aerial and put a blanking bung in the hole or respray my roof in Diamond White?
I would very much like a tow eye, would the weld be strong enough to tow with or will it be just good for looking at ?

Dave i totally agree with you that mk3.5 mirrors look much better hence why i went for electric versions. But they seem so right on the car

Thanks for your kind posts - im over the moon with it now

[Max M4X WW]

Why would you want to tow?

cheeky cont! once ive welded it on mate it would tear the box section before the welds break
and if temp is right and i can paint the roof i would, but this time of year is really a no go unless you got a heated garage or something, which i havent hence why my car isnt being finished

[Turboboy67]

Looking sweet Clark,

whats happening with the suspension,

is it going back to standard as well ??

Cheers

[Max M4X WW]

Slightly lower than standard i hope

[Brammer]

Very nice Clark, looks near perfect

[jayrs]

oi, dont you start with the bit in the sig too

[Brammer]

[knuckles]

Why would you want to tow?

Its just one of those things i do often.

Shaun, my coilovers on the back need raising and refurbing. I may just get new coilovers and raise the back slightly. But 1st things 1st

[jayrs]

from what ya told me mate they sound fcuked, so i reckon a new set would be better.
mind you, now you havent got big wheels on why bother with coil overs? get a nice new koni set up or something with a 30/40mm drop.
remember, std frst is 25mm lower than a normal 2i or such, these companies do a kit for all mk3 so a 30mm drop will only in theroy be a 5mm drop over std on a frst, so a 40 might be better

[JamieFRST]

Top notch, just gets better each time I take a peak in this thread. Really dislike standard mirrors though, can't wait to get them off mine

[jayrs]

guess that means you have electric ones doing nothing now then

[knuckles]

Do ford still make the original shocks ?

Would std shocks work well with 40mm lowering springs ? or would konis do the job.

At the moment i feel every bump in the road, std susspension would make it more comfortable but i lose out on the benifits of coilovers.

[jayrs]

i wouldnt use lower springs with std shocks, its just not really worth it, for the cost of buying std shocks then the springs it wouldnt be worth it, but if you do go std again, make sure you get frst shocks and springs, cos it does sit lower than 2i etc

[Max M4X WW]

Koni!

[Ram]

really like this one. look nice at trax

[knuckles]

I did some engine bay stuff today. I had the day off work as i sprained my ankle on saturday jumping off the machinary

I Went round and tightened up a few things that seemed to work loose. Firstly the exhaust manifold nuts needed nipping up a tad and so did the rocker cover 10mm nuts. Then cleaned up the spark plugs.

I also got round to sorting out my oil catch tank as my K&N was caked in oil.





Only a temperary messure until the new turbo goes in

What ya think ?

[jayrs]

i think where theres blaim theres a claim, should of had steps, so get a claim in nipper

anyway, its coming on mate, you do know that the pipe you got in that bottol has got to have a little filter on it dont ya, as it sucks air in as well as blows it out...?

[onslack]

coming along nicely clark

do love the look at standard frst's

[Max M4X WW]

People don't usually have a filter in the bottle as far as ive seen Jay?

[Ram]

i just used a fridje strawberry milkshake bottle i found in the road on my rs1800. but buxtons is just showing off!

[Ghost]

Git!

and jay, he doesnt have a set of leccy mirrors spare as one of them is mine
