Any updates?
Yea! come on more please
hey there thats excellent fella.all the engine work is such a high standard!myself and a freind are looking at doing the same but with focus rs engine and gearbox to a ka or a fiesta.could you put a few picks up of the rear suspention and hub arrangment and driveshafts,many thanks and keep it up!
blimey forgot i had the fiesta lol....i hav'nt got any really but the shafts are cut down and sleeved over quite simple, its got mondeo front hubs(on the rear) so the drive shafts fit straight through and join the gearbox you need to use compression struts or link bars
and addjustable TCA's so the suspension is fully adjustable
hope it helps
wow!thats gonna be mad!
cmon tone be sweet and take a couple of pics for me,i can understand how you have done the drive shafts but not the front hubs onto the rear,im a bit concerned of the movement that might occur, cheers for the reply and crack on with it
NEVER SEEN ANY THING LIKE THAT BEFO
There will be no movement, you have some steering arms welded to the chassis so that you can adjust the toe in and out, and then make up a lower arm to locate the hub
yea i get the tca will be fixed to the chassis with a rod with a locking nut to adjust toe in/out,how is the lower arm mounted if he is using mondeo front hubs ,has there been a mountin welded to the chasis for the for the front arms and the rear shocks go up the turrent as they would do standard?sorry to be a pain.

i've got these of under the car they are not great but a start
i'm playing with my janspeed xr4i at the mo the fiesta is hibinating lol...
i can see now mate nice 1,where did you source that lower arm/link bar (whatever you like to call it) from?also is the rear mouting your own work or lucky enough to be a fixing point on the standard chasis?
looks to be going to the original rear beam mounting point, but there must be more to itOriginally Posted by frs steve
ah, on closer inspection there's rods going forward to original beam point, then the main arm goes to fabricated points closer to the centreline
when i get time i'll take some better pics the struts are compression jobs buy the bit from rally design and make them what length you need i bought the car with the hard work done
to be honest
that looks awesome mate, well done!
have you thought about maybe using a charge cooler instead of inercooler, that way you need not worry too much about temps
i'll be running low boost and will use water injection if i need it also the intercooler will mount in the draft of the window cheers
ive got sussed more or less,just need to know what and where the lower arms come from,and a detailed pic of how its its mounted?,anyway why aint you been cracking on with it??
i never rush into things lol.... been playing with my sierra, winter, time you know the usual
its nearly done
haha i get you,just trying to get the tricky bits sorted in my mind for when i start,looks like il be doing it to a ka though,still be easier if i can poach ideas from you though tone lol!!
no problem i'll take some more pics for you m8 only if i see some of your KA
The build looks absolute class. Could i pick ur brains regarding the emerald.
i have a mondeo with v6 front, v6 rear with twin t2 turbos. obviously i need to set up for the changes to the rear but how much of the original engine loom and ecu were kept if any. As if it all goes i neednt bother trimming it down.
i've not wired the emerald in yet but its a basic loom that goes to about 8 places you can buy a plug with extended wires and connect it that way but i'm not that clever i've got a m8 doing mine
Ah cool i dont want to keep any of the original loom if possible, and it will get rid of the immobiliser etc
Many thanks
that looks a well smart conversion keep the updates coming
Are you running two lambda's ie one in each manifold?
If so i'd move them to the other side of the flex joint so its reading all 3 cylinders on each manifold, if your only running one (in total) then put it in the link pipe just after 2 into 1.
Or can you run 6 and do individual cylinder trimming with the ecu?
i'm using the latest EMERALD ECU and my headers are MSDS ceramic coated they are supposed to give upto 30 rwhp no cats so that gives a bit
no i've got a sensor hole near the turbo end its air tight if it does'nt work i'll just use one bank
This looks MENTAL are you keeping the zetec badge on the back???
any progress on this tone?please say there is m8
haha thats metal, not seen this one before it looks like its been modified to a very high standard
WOW - thats just crackers, but brilliant
Make sure you put a vid on when its running, would love to hear that beast!!
any updates??
blown by jackson racing
its not dead till it's buried!
T.I.T engineering. "Feel the power!"
Lol was thinking about this the other day any more done tone?was wondering if any work had done on your old metro as well mate?
i'm building upto finishing my festa i've had a busy couple of years finishing off other things hopefully get it done now
fook me!! how have i not seen this befor!!! proper weapon!! get it finished!
That project looks awesome mate, well done!
Project.....i think you mean ornament
Tone whats going on???!!!
well i've had a few things going on over the last 2 years with work etc work has now gone into administration so i might be selling soon DOH!!!
it just needs painting and the ECU wired in (i have the latest EMERALD to fit)so there you go if work stays ok etc i'll keep it and finish lol,but as people know i buy
the best parts which cost mucho money and take time to save for so i never do things quickly but quality isn't cheap
Keep in there tone
the government probably won't care its not a bank, i'm forever hopeful cheers m8
Awesome work Tone.. Just awesum!!
