Work so far

[Maldonado]

well, if you hadn't guessed yet, 'tis me, the roob, back to say hello but shsssshhhh - keep it quiet

work done so far on the focus:

5 x goodyear 195x55 r15 eagle F1's (5 because i hit a brick on the m1 2 days after i had the first 4 fitted doing... let's just say it wasn't strictly a legal speed) £280

1 x 195 x 15 alloy (see above brick incident) £110

16-groove brake discs made by the people who supply black diamond - so basically black diamond discs, just without the coating (which rubs off anyway) with ferodo pads £105

E-Tech strut brace for some stiff chassis loving £80

Spax sports suspension kit springs and shocks £330

total - £905

next on the shopping list... FINISHED!!!

have kinda had a re-think on the engine work - what's the point adding only 65bhp?

so stage 1 of the engine work...
zetec 2.0 bored to 2.1, low compression pistons, ERST manifold and turbo running low boost, full ECU work, intercooler, looking for about 300bhp

stage 2...
hybrid turbo to give full boost with as little lag as possible, and keep boost to 7200rpm

did someone say fast? 8D

so my car can now stop well, soon will handle better than it already does, then the fun really begins

Sprocks - have i missed anything out?

Would you like the wood in Beech or Pine sir?

ANd if you don't mind explaining what an ERST manifold is please think i understand that rest

gah, well due to halfords being a bunch of monkeys, the brakes have been changed, using my local supplier instead, and for a third of the price! nearly got enough for the suspension kit now

[Butuz]

You were going to get halfords to do your mechanical gubbins?
