mcflycossie Posted May 5, 2008 Author Share Posted May 5, 2008 Been a while since I updated this. Had a few problems with my engine which meant me having to source a new one. New one has been rebuilt with new gaskets, timing chain, aux belt, water pump, starter motor, fuel filter.. whilst it was out I decided to tart up the engine bay. So had the inside sprayed red. No more pink. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/DSC00154.jpg Painted the new block red http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/DSC00166.jpg Added a modified plentuim, T/B, some samco blue hoses. I have also got loads of bling for shows to add on. Engine fitted http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/DSC00173.jpg Blinged up http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/DSC00198.jpg Also have a heat shield to cover the manifold. Also bought some new wheels as i have kinda had enough of the RS7's. Bought them for £100 from JDM looking like this.. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/f4.jpg After hours of sanding, filling, sanding, filling, spraying, sanding, spraying, laquer, laquer did i mention laquer they now look like this.. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/DSC00220-1.jpg More than happy with how the came out. Just saving for some decent rubber. Here is a couple of pics after a wash last week http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/Picture012.jpghttp://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/Picture013.jpg Next plans are MOT, new tyres for the new wheels. Also find the exhaust to loud for my liking so decat will be going. I think thats it for now. Brake upgrade is being done saturday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcflycossie Posted August 19, 2008 Author Share Posted August 19, 2008 I thought I would stick a few updated pics in here. Fitted the TSW imola's which I refurbed. Wasnt 100% sure whether I liked them or not. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/Picture026.jpg Changed my suspension to Koni adjustables. With a -35mm drop. Got some slight issues with rubbing on the front drivers side I need to sort out. Fitted my Mondeo Calipers with 300mm ST170 Discs. I have to say it has made a massive difference in breaking. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/DSC00278.jpg I decided to sell the Imolas and put the RS7's back on. The Mondeo Calipers fit behind them fine. A few pics from Ford Fair. http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/FordFair2008038-1.jpghttp://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/OurCars036.jpghttp://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/OurCars047.jpg On the road shot http://i10.photobucket.com/albums/a137/bgreenslade/OurCars247a.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slickescort1981 Posted August 19, 2008 Share Posted August 19, 2008 good choice on the rs7's. maybe the imolas (howcome in that pic the car has standard headlights?) could have worked in a different colour but doesnt matter now. everything about the car is perfect imo where did u get the discs from and how much?

I got the disc's of ebay mate. They where about £65 IIRC. I put the standard lights and bumper back on for the MOT cause I wasnt 100% sure whether they would pass the indicators in the grill. I have now mounted the indicators behind the fog blanking plates. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
