Yeah cat is out of bag - I have bought MisterAdams fiesta Si. Already I have a 'custom' bumper to go on it once its sprayed plus am waiting for my 'custom' bonnent to me finshed.
The 2.0 is going in soonish so that'll keep the smile on my face and iv also spotted a few bits i want to get.
Just to make this MMC offical heres a few old pics of the car:
ya thats smart and i hope u look after it as dont think adam could cope lol cant wait to see u plans !!!!
Nice 2.0 in a little fezzy nice will go like stink. Adam told me the other week he may have a buyer but wouldnt let us know cool no weight and loads of power like it. Will still race ya? Never told Adam but always had a soft spot for the car as i love the fezzy's think yo will do the car proud and clean LOL. (sorry Adam)
So, it was you behind me in Adam's car this morning?
Noticed the car but didn't recognise the driver.
Got to say though, it is one of the nicest fiesta's on the road
mmmmmmmmmmmm. 2.0 zetec turbo. strippd polished and mean. mmmmmmmm
Dazza your mad mate, that should be sweet with the 2.0 in it. nice one.
Hey hey Dazza thats gonna be sweet.
your going to have some fun with the 2L in that
gonna b sweet dazza, make sure ya look after her!
PAT
I have lost you pat!
I know Dazza will take care of her!
Nice car Daz
LET RAGGING COMMENCE!LOL only jokin..take care of it daz
dazza your nuts man. 2.0 not the silver top. go for a blacktop out of a focus or even an ST170
There is not much difference between the Silvertop and Blacktop engines except blacktop is an alloy block (Silvertop is cast) and a few other bits and bobs.
The Silvertop has stronger pistons and if skimmed will be satisfactory for a Zetec Turbo conversion but that isnt on the cards just yet!
plus the silver top fits right in the engine bay with only swapping the bits off the 1.6 onto the 2.0 block
looks good mate
mines coming off the road 2morra for the 2.0 to go in it
Nice surprise there dazza. Make sure u get some doorcards in it by the nationals lol. How far do u intend to get by the nationals mate??
Bumper sprayed aswell as the new soon to be aquired Morette's that am gettin (Thanx Daz200). Oh and Windowtinting the rear quarters is possibly getting done tomorrow (?).
I cant expect much more as it is only 2wks away!
Nice 1 Dazza. Always liked this car and made up it hasn't left cw.
Getting a set of these Morette headlights tonite
I love em and along with the other mods coming it will look mean at the front end!
AM going to smoke the front indicators too!
Sweet mate,
Yep i think there going to look better.
Only time will tell fella.
But making your mark
Go for it fella.
they certainly do look sweet, that cars is going to be amazin with what your plannin
its gonna look fantastic hun, good luck with it..
Personally dont like the Morrette's on Fez's
I prefer the bad boy bonnets on them
will be fast as when the engine's in
Look after it daz, av never known any one to love a car as much as adam did the fiesta. It should be interestin to c what it looks like after uv finished workin on, can't wait for the 2l to go in.
yeah look after it mate! will be ace once the new enghine is in and i liek the morrettes on fiesta's, and it needs a new headlight anyway so
zetec turbo thats all im gonna say.
Posting on Dazza's Behalf:
makes the car look completely different....but personally, dont like them sorry bud
Hmmmm.... Frog looking
Good to see you putting your stamp on it matey
Yea forgot to get Dj-renegade to mention - The indicator are getting smoked OR possibly stick indicators in the bumper and completely black them out
That would make it look allot better matey, smoked i recon
Been ages since this was updated and not alot has happend really guys. Iv just stuck it in my garage so now work can commence and i'll keep you all updated, for now tho am after a few bits so am scouring the land
Need to sort the Air-intake for the fezz if its going 2.0 so i came across a good idea,
Before
Midpoint, trial fitment before spray
Done but may give it a few more layers
yeah ive seen that on a few cars and it looks different and has a purpose aswel. also completely legal (i think) as the inside lights are only 'driving lights' the outside ones are the main/dipped etc
There not used on my morrettes at all, both headlight and sidelight are included in the same lens (The outside one). The inside is mearly for looks
not red mate, maybe chrome?
READ meesh, he's spraying it
Should be good mate, look forward to seeing it done.
Picture updated of Morrettes if u scroll up
mmmmm Going to look sweet.
Wounder were your getting the 2ltr from.
Tell us some details on the 2.0 mate.
What is it from
What sort of adaptation do you need to do to engine bay/loom
Gonna be one rapid motor when its in. Think u shud get at least 150BHP from it then go and show ford ST dept how to do it properly
Not going to say too much incase some of the plans dont go about. Its a 2.0 silvertop (found in early Mondeos) and is basicly the engine that was in my Escort.
The difference now is I can use 2.0 parts/management seeing his Fiesta and Mondeo share the same PATs (I know it can be done on Escorts but as far as I know only 2 people have done it).
Am going to experiance Torquesteer aparantly and seeing as I need new wishbones am opting for New Ford wishbones with a camber adjuster (Courtesy of Area 6 aka Fiesta Frenzy)
The engine is 136BHP at standard, am getting reprofiled cams to KentCams spec which will give an estitmated extra 12BHP but with more livley throttle responce and high revs.
Am not going to give you all my shopping list as money is tight at times like this but ill currently be running the IB5 gearbox but may upgrade to the MTX75 at a later date once all is running well.
On top of that iv bought some 4WD Cosworth calipers (Need pads and discs now) oh and a charge carrier.
Watch this space
Sounds good to me i cnt wait for the finish job.
These arrived on wednesday morning. Gonna clean them up and flick a bit of blue paint on them
There Sierra Cosworth 4WD calipers
The build starts!
Here is a pic as it stood today
Then after this pic I took the front end off ready for after my holiday, then I can start the madness!

Admin Edit : Resized & hosted pics
and just think that car used to be like this:
:go:
Wednesday 17th: Engine arrived (Thanx Scooby) so I stripped it down.
Thursday 18th: Cleaned and painted engine, then started to remove 1.6
Friday 19th: Finished removing engine - Engine is out.
Before start of work today:
Whats going in:
End of work today:
Taking shape nicely matey
wow, looks like this is coming along very nicely, looks like you didnt go over to liverpool today then? lol. cant wait for this to be finished, you will have yo take me out in it when its been run in
Taking shape nicely matey.
What size wheels will you have to run with cozzy cals or can you run what you have got?
The cozzies run on 15" wheels and i think thats whats on the Fezzy now
Yea thats right - The Cossies run 15's so thats what am doing. Taking shape nicley now but going to have a days break I think for my birthday
Looking good Daz
Coming along well daz i cant wait till its done
damn your talk of me gettin another fiesta
!!!
its comin on a treat daz, keep up the good wrk mate
It is sweet
Engine running also, not completed but the 2.0 Zetec is fitted and running. Great work mate. Should be interesting for the
Peco Rolling Road Day
Opps should have said, All it done except the throttlebody, and fit bumpers and lights etc. Its on its wheels and everything
Roll on Rolling road!
Cool
cant wait to see it running matey
Lookin good daz. Cant wait to see its RR output. How well does the inlet maninfold line up with the corresponding holes on the block?
It goes on fine, thes not too much difference in bore diameters. I cant wait for the RR session either just to see what bhp iv got to play with
Also i heard the book 0-60 time on the Fiesta ST150 is 7.9, if thats true I wants me a race
If its 7.9 i reckon u'd beat its ass.
Iv been told on various fiesta sites the 2.0 will do 60 in sub 7secs
Still want a race tho - Newskool vs Oldskool
I will race you to 60mph matey
3.9 Secs
i'd love to mate but mine is 8.7 so you will kill me.
Thought id bump this topic to the top - You can view my 'mods' thoughout these pages, including me tinkering about with the engine
heres a few 'little' mods am trying to source:
EGR removal - Will increase low-end torque and give a raspyer acceleration, also said to improve BHP by about 5.
2.0 focus inlet - Now this is the daddy, only 2 people to my knowledge have managed to adapt this to fit but i know exaclty how just trying to get one, will improve BHP by about 8bhp at least
.
Also forgot to mention, The 2.0 revs to 8200rpm with alot of lowdown torque - The fiestas revmeter only goes to 7krpm
I'll dig some more pics out in abit
God some of these are old! Just read threw the MMC and am quite pleased, brings back fond memories
And heres my favorite pic of the car
The nite before the rollingroad at Peco
What the hell is EGR? Is it that thing in the manifold.holes and shit.RS2K guys always talk about weldin up the holes in the manifold that ford put there for economy
Focus intake manifold u on about?
Yes thats it
Basicly Exhaust gases are recycled by putting them back into the inlet. In laymens terms yes you are welding them over
and yes again a focus inlet (or maybe a escort zetec-e if i get desparate)
Reckon a 2.0 Mondeo inlet manifold would help my 1.8?
Ermm am not sure, I have one if you wanna buy it
<---- Ill get back to you on if it fits
Right, bit of an update.
Pic of the EGR removed
Pic of the new Inlet (Finally got my Viper on)
Also had a play with making a video, i'll edit in more footage when I get it but here it is at the moment

Admin Edit : re-sized & hosted pics
i admire all the effort you have put into this mate, im looking foward 2 seeing u driving around again
neva looked at ur topic b4, what ur doing is great u seem to be well up on ya ford dntya. It looks good av you had it resprayed after adam crashed it. looks really clean in the pics anyway keep up the gud work and put in for ya test b4 the summer lol
I had the front bumper resprayed but thats it, what you can see is a nice respray in dust
how much of a gain ahve u noticed form the inlet change?
Its noticable and worth doing - I dont know the exacts but am hoping 140bhp minimum from the mods
would it improve the 1800 escort engine,which already uses a very similar inlet,only the fuel rail is different,side fed. Also,jsut how bad are side fed injectors???
BTW,u reply really fast
I dont know if it would help, the ECU would read wrong so I personally wouldnt risk it.
Side fed injectors are only bad for the fact that there harder to get hold of. Fiesta Turbo's use them but you need to mod the whole injector rail to get them to fit, and you need the regulator too.
Most jap cars use top-feds
It alive
Took some pics of the car today while dazza was sorting out his new mod (wont ay what)
There are a few peps who havnt seen this car before on the site.
Like this car alot and whould like to own it maybe one day.
take a hacksaw to the gearstick dazza,u aint driving a coach
Nothing wrong with a standard length gearstick. Cutting it off wont change the throw on it (As said to you in the past) so if I was to do anything id sooner get a short shifter.
Expect quite a few updates once my things arrive
take a hacksaw to the gearstick dazza,u aint driving a coach
its kate by the way. n dont you ever have anything nice to say about anyones car!!!!!
thats was me above not rhys
take a hacksaw to the gearstick dazza,u aint driving a coach
its kate by the way. n dont you ever have anything nice to say about anyones car!!!!!
Yes i do have something nice to say. if u remember i very nearly voted this as car of the year two years running and love the car,all except the gearknob thats longer than my leg. i have a wierd thing against old ford gearknobs on theyre massive shafts.When did u put the XR/RS fron on dazza.What u doing with ur Si bumper that had the massive fogs in
Still got said bumper, it was removed as I didnt want to distroy it on the track. The XR one was fitted awhile back (Previous owner sprayed it themselves
but am not bothered about looks).
All good things to those that wait. I'll reveal all tomorrow
have you done the mod yet?
its darrens car, maybe he likes it like that.
scoop, i cant remember the last time u said sumthing nice. u always make comments towards other ppls cars. u may of NEARLY voted it car of the year but u neva !!!!
sorry darren about tlkin about ur car, i just hate ppl slaggin off other ppls cars wen theres aint perfect.
if i was going to [censored] peoples cars of i wouldn't post on these boards.
The Famous saying AT THE END OF THE DAY it is his car to drive and have as much fun in as possible.
Glad to see it out again
And i'm sure the car appreciated the little sunshine too.
Good to see the Sprit Bottle still serving you lol...
Yea I have a chrome breather tank, just need to fit it.
Right, I have bought a standard 2.0 Focus Zetec manifold. After 3 times of being let down with manifolds I re-thought my original idea and bought this. It is a 4-1 manifold that will give more torque higher in the rev range (4-2-1 gives more torque low in the rev range, the Zetec is already torquey low down so I want torque throughout the revs). With the bores being identical to the engine I wont have a restrictive exhaust system anymore (That will give me some more BHP).
Also to compliment the manifold I have a full exhaust system that was from a race/rally car. It is truely a straight though system with only 1 re-packable silencer (To keep within decibel limit) and side exit exhaust. The side exit should comeout half way between the O/S rear arch and O/S door. *Note* I do not have the manifold shown.
Just need to get and modify a Focus downpipe and am ready to fit it on the car. With this fitted I expect say 150bhp and say 180lbs of torque
Love the idea of a side exit exhaust.Take it its ready to be fitted to a mk3.5 fez so u wont have to worry about re-shaping? Like that manifold too,was it expensive?
not to start an argument but i have 3 points
a)just cos i never voted it car of the year doesnt mean i think its anything other than good, i love the car,only dislike the long gearstick
b)constructive critisism and opinions make the world go round,if everyone kept theyre mouth shut or just said "i love it" all the time the world would be a boring place
c)i say nice things about things i think deserve nice things saying about them,such as the exhaust,the skirts,the seats,basically,the whole car,and there isnt enough praise in the world to give to lawton whos car i voted car of the year
First things first, Make another topic or spam someone elses as I DO NOT want it in my MMC. You didnt have any option of voting it this year as I decided not to enter.
BACK TO TOPIC
Yes the exhuast system is for a Mk3 so is a direct fit. It was originally made by Tony Law, he made that tasty manifold in the pic that I do not have. He makes one off manifolds and in the world of rallying has a very good reputation for the products he does. The Focus manifold was bagged at a bargin price and its only done 15k (May sound alot but there wont be that must carbon inside it, plus a few thousand would have been bedding in miles).
May have some other bits yet, I decided to tell you of these now as they will arrive Mondeo hopefully (Should have been Friday)
any more progress with the down pipe? if needed i can decat it will be on msn on monday night.
