As a lot of you may have seen this is my new car after some twa* crashed into my Si
I have a lot planed for it, heres what iv done so far..
The steering felt crap when i picked it up so 1st job was to fit a new rack.
Jacked up
Old rack out
New one (well a recon one)
New uj
Also fitted new gen ford tie rod ends but didnt get any pics of them.
Was a really easy job only bit that took some time was getting the rack centerd and trying to track it by eye as best i could so i could drive it down to get tracked.
So much better now
Next job was the clutch the bite point was really low to the point that you couldnt get into some gears, the car has had a ap racing clutch fitted before it got it but we also think it has an uprated press plate which if you read aps site you need to carry out this pedal mod ( http://www.apracing.com/roadcar/clutch/epmods.htm )
Anyway thort id give it a go see if it helps, when i went to ford to pick up the bits the pedal that they said to use is an off set pedal which will not fit a fiesta because it sits to close to the heater matix box, so it thort id make my own out of the fiesta pedal.
Seat out
So we cut the adjustable bit out of the new pedal and put it in the fiesta one.
Adjustable bit
Test fitted
Welded in place.
Put it all back and it worked im so happy with it the pedal feel is much better than any other fiesta iv ever driven!
