Wheel wobble is flat spots on the tyres from being sat for years!
Going to start winding the boost up tomorrow

Lovely motor, what's the future plans once you've maybe got a tad bored of it....
I will just leave this one alone, not really that interested in cars these days but will keep hold of it as an investment I think

Buy a Nova :P
Too many out goings these days Keith! Would love to build another as I know exactly how I would want it.

These really were the car of the 90's, never owned one or driven one but admired from a far

Couple more pics from outings

Those THs really do look good - even better covered in brake dust!
Cheers Will, they were from the first batch that we had made on the escort forum and have monte machined into them unlike the ones you can buy now in 18".
Bit more brake dust on them after the drive home with Twag: )

Also decided to add some more power so 380-400 hp, new chip/ Siemens injectors.
Also thought it would be rude not to add anti lag as the standard ecu can run it etc.
With the added power I also have some AP cp5200's to go on with 330mm disk/bell setup so stopping should be better.
Then will be off to get the car setup

I'm not jealous at all.
Love the interior... just needs bob holness sat in there for a full blockbuster effect lol
Ha, good old blockbusters!
Also was still getting wheel wobble at about 60/70, so had wheel balance checked and they were a fair way out so fingers crossed it was not flat spots on the tyres.
Iam off to silverstone Classics show on Sunday so will see if it's sorted

Silverstone on Sunday!

15mm hub-centric eibach spacers fitted as the wheels always sat too far in so now ET 0.
Just a new exhaust, engine mounts and some rear toe shims to fit then it will be sorted for next year.

2018, few upgrades planned prior to MOT in April.
New mongoose exhaust
Fit new bonnet release cable
Oil and filter change
Fit toe shims on rear as after lowering it runs toe out which makes it nervous in fast corners.
Hopefully the shims will take it back to toe in. ( will get alignment check at mot.
New gearbox, either helical fixit full gearset or Pete Dougherty
box with straight cut 2nd and 3rd (the 2 weak gears) as this also leaves 5th gear nice and quiet for the motorway.
When new box in turn boost up to 30-32psi peak (currently peaks 26psi

Car passed mot no probs again
Rear toe is better with the shims in place
Also added for federal 595 RSR Tyres as the good years were from 2006!
Car goes away tomorrow to have all the new parts fitted

Put abit more toe in on the front and shims were already installed but year prior the rear was reading toe out.
Handling is still nervous on turn in, the konis are on softest setting and tester said it was quite bouncy as he reversed it over the brake rollers on the rear.
Going to firm it up although sure on these shocks it only adjusts rebound so can’t see it making much difference
Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
Maybe higher pound springs, then you can stiffen the shocks up to suit?
I don’t want higher poundage Benn as really don’t want a crashy ride.
I think these shocks are only adjustable for rebound so will have a play and see what happens.
Any luck with your car and the oil?

A nice AP kit came up for sale with some CP5555 6 pot calipers on 355mm rotors so just cleaning them up.
Plan to fit them next week before the silverstone classics show

May have to try and get down again as this was a one off for the year for Rsoc but didn’t realise they had other meets.
I got there late, shame as I really wanted to get some food!
