good work on the diff

i didnt see you out slaying stuff at ford fair , i miust be blind

i'd agree with that

I went yesterday on a wee road trip down south to pick some wheels up



and these too



Bought a new ST170 polished and ported head, that has been modified to remove the VVT cam and pulley, this is a showpiece of a thing, and im very pleased with it





this photo shows the change to the head, with the VVT solenoid removed , and the bridge fitted, with the new camlobe bushed and pinned, very clever stuff, the only downside is i cant run the ST170 camcover , needs to be a block top cover, but ill do something with it

Thanks guys, yes love the OZeds, theyre 15 inch with the ET35 offset, hard to get hold off and very light proper WRC wheels

Started the car today, the gearbox went bang at Crail RAceway the other week, and im changing the head, so decided to take everything out













so plan now is to strip the rest of the underbonnet, and paint it anthracite, along with the inside of the car


Im also goin to take off the RS accesory bumpers, and put on Fiesta RST bumpers, paint the outside of the car frozen white, with new graphix ... again

Ill update the thread as we go along, ill have a big push with it on Wednesday when im off work for a couple of days
