Good figures for a stock car, you should be very pleased. Dyno Dynamics rolling roads are simply the bee's knees. My mate is the UK distributor for them and really know's the product inside and out

Car is looking really good as well mate

Thanks a lot fella

And it isn't finished yet either ....

I was shocked to see the power output. Makes me think the last owner of my engine done a good job rebuilding it

Subtle aint the word - does a magnex exhaust really count? :lol:

by **jimmyesh** on Mon Jun 25, 2007 8:13 pm

Good power & torque there, well done I love that car!

by **Captain Tightpants** on Mon Jun 25, 2007 8:45 pm

Good job mate, car looks great. Good power results.

Enjoy the end result.

Steve

by **heeman10** on Tue Jun 26, 2007 2:23 am

Top results, that makes it all worthwhile I'm sure! I hope you can still afford some petrol every now and then to enjoy the extra power and proper running!! It's been a costly few months!

by **knuckles** on Tue Jun 26, 2007 2:57 am

Cheers fella's

Jimmy - i was well amazed, had to pick my bottom jaw up. Was only expecting 130 tops.... :lol:

Bring on the T3 :devil:

Steve - thanks mate. Its a shame enjoying the end result costs too much at the pumps. Cant help my self sometimes. Lead feet and all that :oooh:

James - thanks fella, im very pleased with what has been achieved with minimal modding, but still isn't finished and needs load sorting to enjoy it to the full. (suspension, lower arms and most importantly brakes)

by **jayrs** on Tue Jun 26, 2007 11:07 am

T3, you defecting from the proper frst then

by **knuckles** on Tue Jun 26, 2007 4:13 pm

I havent decided yet :lol:

by **jayrs** on Tue Jun 26, 2007 4:25 pm

and you wanna put it back like a standard FRST and ya thinking of T3 :oooh:

by **knuckles** on Tue Jun 26, 2007 10:27 pm

jayrs :and you wanna put it back like a standard FRST and ya thinking of T3

Just a thought :cry:

I have been thinking , hybrid T2, chip, stg 2 head, kent cam, bailey actuator ?

Is that better

by **jayrs** on Tue Jun 26, 2007 11:14 pm

i'll think about it :lol:

by **knuckles** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 4:52 pm

Update time again

I just love it when pay day comes along - but don't love it when i get the bill :cry:

Mk3.5 colour coded mirrors

one new vibratechnics mount - the ford one finally gave up on me a few weeks back.

Brand spanking new Rs turbo lower arms, The car is desperately needing these little beauties

The rest of the parts, Genuine brake pads and brake discs.
Fords were actually cheaper than halfords ! work that one out :lol:

Got myself a new washer reservoir too as it was so cheap.

More to come later once i get my hands dirty again
:aviator:

by **Smo** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 5:04 pm

Mmmmmmm, nothing like a whole load of new parts to fit

Debating those Vibratechnics mounts myself at the moment. Henry (hb69) has the competition ones, and they're not THAT bad, but still can't decide between those and the fast road ones...

by **jayrs** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 5:51 pm

wouldnt of wasted my money on a vibratechnics mount, deffo not seeing as its going on rear of the gear box.

nice touch with the lower arms, glad to see they gave you the right ones :lol:

by **Brammer** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 6:23 pm

Nice collection of parts their fella

by **Max M4X WW** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 6:29 pm

Nice mirrors. Not keen on the std brakes tho

Go for the HD mounts, no point in going for the Comp items unless you need them, it's just more transmitted harshness through the chassis.

by **knuckles** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:52 pm

Look at the state of the old lower arm - the bush has completely came out of its place. It passed a mot like that too :lol:

No wonder it felt like a bag of poo to drive

One side got fitted today and i already feel the difference. Will do the other side when i acquire some new nuts and bolts.

The mount had to be bought as the ford one split in 2 pieces and was making the box clunk when pulling away.

Simon - go for the fast road kit, they certainly do the job. :wink:

by **~Tony~** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 9:54 pm

I've got the competition ones, and find them brilliant, not too harsh when using the car daily and have survived my heavy right foot

by **heeman10** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:22 pm

Woah!

Good job you're sorting all this stuff, some fairly major problems going on it would seem! It'll feel like a race car once that lot's fitted!

by **jayrs** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 10:55 pm

one of my passanger side bushes fell out when i took car off road to rebuild :lol:

nice to see you got ya monies worth.

i cant wait to see the disc and pads as i know you got ya monies worth out of them babies :lol:

by **knuckles** on Fri Jul 06, 2007 11:59 pm

I think those lower arms are the originals :oooh:

Those cosworth brake discs were warped when i fitted them to the xr2i. Now they have been properly killed on the Rs :lol:

Can't wait to drive it with the other lower arm on, new engine mount fitted with brakes that actually work :wink:

by **jayrs** on Sat Jul 07, 2007 1:13 am

they wont be originals mate, ball joint would of give out long ago on the factory ones
