God, you keep changing your motors :pancake:

 

Looking good bud :thumb:

 

lol, cheers mate :thumb:

 

got some uprated piper valve springs to go in, although i've heard they're not that great but its all i have atm

 

They're fine for up to around 320bhp, assuming you're not revving much beyond 7k.

 

cool, should be more than up to the abuse i'll throw at them then :thumb:

 

 

Do I spy cossies sir?

 

yes but they have been sold now :thumb:

 

 

a little bit more done last weekend. gave a few bits and bobs a freshen up and managed to get the bottom end and gearbox bolted into the bay :)

 

bought a helix 4 paddle

Great news dubs,now let's hope you do more than 300 miles lol,are those alloys 18's,they look mahoosive.

 

yeah 18's mate. what can i say i get bored easily lol!although i won't be taking on another project so hopefully this one will hold my interest for a while. theres still bits and bobs i can improve on so the car is far from finished really

Shame there's a big time gap in this thread would love to know more details on this build, cars looking nice and sorted though

thanks mate, i've got loads of build pics i can add to the thread when i have a bit more time

Looking good. What's the spec?

 

Ohh and..........your bonnets open XD

 

rough spec is,

 

silvertop 2 litre block,

c20let pistons

standard rods,

cvh flywheel,

helix paddle clutch with standard cover and new ib5 release bearing

fully rebuilt head fitted with piper valve springs,

mls focus rs head gasket

cvh manifold fitted with adapter plate

cosworth 4x4 turbo

universal front mount intercooler

rover inlet modded to fit frst throttle body fitted with home made adapter plate

iw158 (fiat coupe iirc) injectors

fiesta turbo loom

ofam ecu,

 

there probably more bits i've forgotten......and you're not the first person to tell me the bonnets open lol! needed to use the bonnet spacers to clear the throttle cable bracket

Are those the standard brakes!!!! Is that wise?

yes standard brakes but i'm only running in atm so not really a concern at this point. i have a cossie set up to go on before the car is mapped
