FCS prep phase win sigma gearbox mounted

[Tom]

Wow that hole in the back is insane!

[Frosty]

Coming a long nicely mike. Will have to see about popping over to see this sometime soon

[mikey b]

'Ruan' thanks

Still not sure on turbo but think it's going to be a gt2256v or gt2260v
Would really like to have a gt2260vk bit the money can't stretch that far

[zx_volcane]

Nice to see some updates, pics are always good

Can heartily recommend both the 2256v and the 2260v

Thought much about your turbo relocation?

Car looks well sexy parked in the garage like that

Have to agree with James on this one. Looks quite nice there, wheels kind of suit it.

Nice to see a few pictures finally!

Should be a right little machine when finished!

Nice to see you saving a PH1 (reckon frosty approves haha)

Of course it's all about the ph1s

[ozonehostile]

My fake ph1 had exactly the same hole. It's a sign that it wanted to be ph1 all along haha

[Mitch]

Really like this car, looks spot on, keep up the work

Got the axel out the other day I knew it was buggerd but didn't think it was that bad





So will be swapping a drum axel over with disc and using the drum axel bits
The other thing I did was try to remove the subframe easy job apart from when the captive nut decides to break so out came the grinder and of with his head well the bolt so I had to cut the bulk head and make My own



So fixed all that then it was culys south west meet and was talking to him about his engine mount so thort I would look at mine and the good old phase one likes giving me stuff to do



So sorted that don't think it came out to bad I use the washer that's on the bottom of the mount as a reinforcing bit and welded that in job done



Think thats bout it for now will get some more bits up soon thanks for looking

[Craigus]

Nearly done now!

[mikey b]

Well the shell is getting there slowly

[jammapic]

Good work!

Love those wheels by the way.

The first intercooler I ran on my DT was exactly the same as you, Focus. They are actually really quite good because of having such a thick core... Bet you find your intercooler pipes really don't get that warm!

JP

[mikey b]

Yep the wheels are my fav looks good on the car and the intercooler is pretty good for the price it will be changed now as bigger turbo and all but it will live on jimbo is gonna have it for his phase 3 conversion

[mikey b]

Few little bits been done nothing on the engine just getting bit ready I have been getting the axel ready for rebuild and cleaned and painted the gearbox just looks bit better just doing a few bits while looking for a turbo managed to get meself a 11mm bosch ready to go on
