Might not be every bodys cup of tea but i know in my newbies thread couple of people liked it so thought id put a couple more pics up for you lot to have a look at!!

I brought the car for £1900 knowing there was a few bits wrong with it that needed abit of tlc but this obviously went to abit more then i hoped. Whilst driving the car back i thought it was abit slow but i was comparing it to my last 320bhp escort rs turbo so didnt think much of it. about a week later i went to lakeside and got slaughtered by another standard rs turbo so it was time to take the car for a mapping session at torque of the devil. first run = 88bhp and 3psi of boost lol at standard rs turbo suppose to run about 10psi. whilst mapping it on the 19th run it spun all its bearings DOH!! So finished the day off with 170bhp and and buggered engine.

so rebuild commensed ive been building the engine with parts so once its finished i can hopefully start running around 250bhp Cool

Next winter its coming off the road for its zetec conversion which will give me around 400bhp Very Happy

I like this cup of tea a lot, despite how 'buggered' the engine looks in the first photo. Keep up the good work fella.

The knowledge just comes in time and practice mate to be honest Smile

T3 is the standard turbo for rs turbo's, its not to bad really having a replica cheaper insurance Very Happy

but ye you yourself know its not an actual rs Laughing

I'd love to go to a scrap yard and see an rs turbo id end up buying the whole car.........literally lol
