that was the spec we beleaved it to have and that he paid £1600 for which is fair money.
we took it to get set up and on 0.9 bar it made 160bhp and 175lbft which wernt bad but abit low imo. anywho we got it home and the fun began. after a day of having it the clutch started slipping like fook and a couple of oil leaks appeared. so a phone call to the bloke we bought it off and he agreed to send him a new clutch.
all good we thought so we proceeded to drop the engine and box as this would be the easiest way to do it imo, this is where the fun began. on removing it we found this list of faults
3 bolts missing from the gearbox to the engine.
Only one bolt holding the equal length driveshaft set up and that was loose
All the wiring just twisted together and taped
Cross member just cut and bashed, not "done properly" as we were told
Standard brakes
No new shocks on the back
Completely standard head, cam and inlet
Standard turbo
Bodged up not custom exhaust
Standard bottom end
Standard clutch
Standard 1.3 gearbox
Radiator and fan not fixed in at all
im sure there was more but i cant remember. anywho so a call back to who we bought it off and a day of fooking about but he eventually got £500 back :d
so basically we have now stripped it and started again properly so new post for new chaptor

Nice project, Old Fiestas are cool

due to the amount of power hes hoping to achieve the standard intercooler had to go. ive always been a fan of chargecoolers and being as hes trying to keep the stealth look this seemed the best way to go. i found a ford focus rs set up on the bay and won it for £110. bargain!! when we got there however we discovered this thing is huge lol and i had serious doubts as to wether it would fit.
so we bolted in the rad and made room for the charger cooler rad in front of it, that was the easy bit. the actually chargecooler unit was the tricky bit. due to the size there was only one place for it to go, so bolted on the gearbox and tiebar and the mocked up a bracket and shes in, just lol
