    Fiesta Daily/Track car

    Thought i would just post this up to keep track of my progress and show it off a little bit, even though its FWD and modern it still surpirses a lot of stuff, which anyone who came out for a lap with me at the Ring can confirm, Great fun to drive on track

    Quick Spec list:

    Full Milltek with Sport cat

    Remap

    Induction kit

    Currently running about 145bhp and looking to cam it in the next few months so should have it to just under 170bhp, Also weights about 1000kg's now after the stripping of the interior which isnt bad considering the size of it

    Comp MO5's

    Parada Spec 2's

    Mintex 1144's

    HEL braided lines F+R

    Tarox Discs

    Spax RSX Coilovers

    Cusco Front strut brace

    Polybushes all round

    Stripped Interior

    Cobra Imola Pro's

    TRS 3 Point harness




    Now Some photos of how it currently sits, hope you like



    JDM tyte cusco brace









    Interior is stripped of all rear plastics and carpets now as well.

    Just gonna enjoy it as it is for now then Hopefully see about some more power towards the end fo the year as well as a Quaife LSD ans some bigger brakes.

    Needs a cage and removal off all the rear interior. Also depending on what the supm is like, bat wing the sump.

    Most of the rear interior is gone now, will grab some photos of it when the weather isnt shit.

    Going for a baffled sump just for the extra protection against starvation when on track.

    May look into a Cage as well depending on how far i go with it, Would like to SC it if i came into some money but one can only wish LOL

    Start off by getting the cars handling upto par, once this is done then the power can be built up, a car with shed loads of power and no handling is no good to anyone.

    I like the look of that.

    What engine is it? Can you really gain another 25hp from a cam?

    Cheers Mark, yep very annoying!

    1.6 mate. Yep its the most aggressive cam you can run on it and makes gains still without going for itbs. As theism engine keeps making power all the way to the red line its getting it upped by about 1krpm which will help me see the extra power


    Shawspeed cams if anyone is interestedn
