update:

Got hispec discs and green stuff pads on the front, the discs looks the dogs!

After the fiasco with the seats I have got some ka racing seats in, there the same as the frp ones just different handles and done in grey alcantara. Gonna get some different race spec seats and retrim them in the blue alcantara material when the cash allows.

For my birthday got a set of private plates F12RGY so they are on the car as well biggrin.gif

Head gasket has decided to go!! got a few ideas about different engines to go in its place so only time will tell wink.gif

will get some pics up soon when i find the camera cable lol

Got a few ideas inc. the st150 engine is a duratec he engine which you can get a 2.0 or a 2.3 and is the same engine as the mazda 4wd mps engine which is a 2.3 turbo with 280bhp? i think. called jamsport and they will mount the engine and box and do custom drive shafts for not much at all. the 2.0 revs higher but the 2.3 has more torque and cosworth do alot of parts for the engine tongue.gif It shouldnt be that hard a conversion tbh been watching someone on another forum put a st150 engine into a mk5 fiesta and it wasnt one of the hardest conversions about.

Another option is a supercharged st170 engine which would be about 270 bhp but has more cntinous power band instead of the turbo lag being a supercharger.

All depends on cash over the winter. There are masses of options to choose from the only drawback is the cash needed to do each lol

nice pics, go for the st170 engine and turbo it, they hold a nice 240+ bhp and be really reliable, im using the st170 engine in my puma but its gonna be on throttle bodies and omex management.

if you want the job doing speak to gordon at street racers, he's based in leicestershire and comes highly recomended, he's the guy who built neil from fast fords fiesta zetec turbo track car, havent got a phone number handy but if you want more info then pm and i'll get a number for you
