yes im so happy it runs. unbelievably happy. i just dont get how if it all worked before it should work now :harhar:. think the leak is comin from the main pipe at the pump. i suspect i havent tightened it enough. ill get some clips tomorrow and see if it helps the idle. think i need a long sleep though. just thinkin about wiring is sendin my mind crazy. forgot how good the engine sounded. cant wait for a drive. ill maybe get a wee video but for now it is rest time . Russell

totaly. i have 8 black speedlines :harhar:

ok so SHE LIVES :harhar:. too dark now and had to stop doin the last bits because it got 2 dark.nice 12 hour shift today like. runs buuuut a few problems. if anyone can help then please do. oil light on the dash is on temp gauge on the dash dont work. is ther a way to test if the fan is working have a petrol leak but i think i know how to fix. idles realy low and uneven sometime (maybe because im short a few jubilee clips on boost piped ??? ) pictures shall be takin tomorrow. also my mate who helped get it running thinks the box is fucked but i think it was something else who could h

thinkin it was a bad earth. cheers for the help folks

hopefully folk r still looking at this lol. how long does it take for the fan to kick in. not sure mine is workin and dont wanna wait too long. runs now.

dont think its an alarm issue because the alarm works fine. like opens the car and locks it and goes off when ya shake it. im just not sure where all the earths are ment to go. can earths be the reason why its not even turning over. glad i got the rest done quick like. this is the last hurdle and its running.

all interior is working like dash lights and indicators etc but when i try to turn ignition on then it just doesnt do anything. can hear the starter relay switchin in the fusebox but nothing happens at all. really need some help on this one. think it could be anythin to do with the alarm / imobiliser ?

cheers bud. done it today but atleast now i know it went in the right hole :harhar:

whats legal to do to a numberplate. like can i cut the excess white off as long as i leave the numbers alone or is it the actual plate aswell as letters that have to be a certain size. Russell

bit of hacksawin of the front bumper. fluids all filled up. put dash back together after a bit of hacksawin at the steerin column to make the turbo indicator stalk bit fit properly and then find some plugs. fuel pump swap and i think that is all :harhar: bring on tomorrow

cool cheers for that :harhar: might explain why i couldnt find where it went aswell because the dumpvalve is still in the shed. Russell

yeh makin a good bit progress. wiring is taking its toll on my brain but ill have an update tomorrow. seem to have alot of random plugs without anythin to connect to though but i havent been under it yet to look so i think ill find a few more. fingers crossed i dont run into any big problems. Russell

the drain plug is on the bottom and pretty easy to get to. yeh i think its either 24 or 25 i can check tomorrow and ill put it up here and see how filling up goes.

the small pipe that comes off the inlet mani and goes into a t-piece which one part goes to my boost gauge but I've forgot where the other part goes anyone know ??

good man. can get this done tomorrow ;) cheers.

the only bolt i can see that came off left a small hole that seems stupid for a fill point if anyone could take a picture it would be helpful but also any info would be good. thanks Russell

i ment the 2.5 turbo. 225 bhp i think but still a bus ;)

ok so i started today instead but got some done and got a few pictures up ;). car is finished being off the ground apart from exhaust now . shafts fitted fine and just the wiring to go now. bring on tomorrow after a good night sleep lol. worked solid for most of the day. Russell

closes I've been is a clio 172 that i think got a fright when i was insured on the sleeper for a week ;). you should be talking about focus sts because the fiesta aint worth worrying about for a v . Russell

congrats man. my gf picked you for my vote this time and shes quite fussy ;)

cheers for comments to far. work begins today.

not really sure how this all goes down because I've never really been to a big meet before. im not sure if ill be goin yet because the conversion might not go as planned but if i decide say a couple weeks before can i still buy tickets ? and with the stand do you have to show up early etc or would i just show up and park up beside the rest of uksc. i think thats all i need to know for now . Russell

well i needed the interior loom from it so everything came out not stripping anything out yet but if i get the silver one back up and use that as a work/runabout then i might be tempted to fully strip out the rep . Russell

yes its my first swap apart from helping a mate with his golf. @ haribo - stay in place called woodburn. where about you stay ?

think photobuckts working. just took a few pics of stuff for when its in ^ cant wait to start swappage Russell
