two questions

Where to you get the metal bottom door strip with RS2000 imprinted on it.

Does Performance only produce the superlite wheel in 17 x 7 or can you get it in 17 x 6. And you did say the 17's fit quite well.

I'm no Fool.
The car war bead blasted to bare metal and luckily there was no rust at all. The bonnet is now on , it was only off because it was not finished at the time.

Speaker pods are no issue, I don't even touch them - I am 6ft tall.

Simmons are 17X7
Thanks

The Headlight covers are original MATRIX units from the era (made in NSW), never used supplied from someone in Canberra that had them but no longer had the car. I only put them on for a laugh. I do have a template and if people want a set i can get a set in clear perspex/lexen/polycarb made. The price would be the cost of the poly and water jet cutting.

The latest edition of Aus & New Zealand Performance Ford is worth a read.[;^)][:x)]

hey mate, how did u make ur speaker pods?? I made up a set out of polystyrene foam stuff, n then covered it in epoxy resin, then cut out the front and rear surfaces to put ply wood in, then with the rear piece of ply off, i fibreglassed it, took the plug out, n fibreglasssed the rear ply in.
This worked out alright, and it would work in many cars, but i rathered the flush look!!! Plus it sounds better aswell, gives more bass. but how does yours work?

Hey Peter,just picked up the latest issue of the Aust.& N.Z. Performance Ford.....Congrats on the feature

PMR,
is that a Whiteline strut brace or other?[x2x]
I would like to put one in my club car.

The strutbrace was designed and fabricated by a friand and myself

The car is quite good.
These photos are of its first day when it is remotely complete. I do not have a good front on photo, but will get one soon. This car is a 2 seater now. It is extensively modified with everything.........but a Turbo.........that is the next motor build. I also included a photo of my daily driver. It is awesome to own two RS2000's..........they are just so much fun.

Ahh, I have just worked out who you are Mark. Here is a pic of your car that I took at last years display day at Deepwater. The new RS looks great too! You should bring one of your beasts out for Supercruise 9 on Anzac Day... Phil and I should be going.

Are they the 16x7 superlites I see?

Any side on pics to give a better look at the rims and the car?

Great work
2004/04/16 10:08:28

Sean, Supercruise sounds good....I still have teething problems with the electrics though.
Paul, they most certainly are 16x7", I have owned them since they were first released.......more photos to come as I get a hold of a camera.........ok........fine........i have got a photo of the the car on a side view but it does not do it any justice.

Peter,

Very impressed with your ride.....I have always liked the Red.....but as my Coupe was originally midnight blue from the factory, I kept it blue........not so many blue RS2000's around.
2004/04/16 12:24:23
Sean
Mark,

Is yours the original blue or is it slightly different?
2004/04/16 14:23:29
Mark
It is a totally made up colour, I just picked one out of a colour chart and hoped it would look good, I really just wanted any Royal Blue. The photo makes it look dark and flat.....it is actually bright and shiny.
2004/04/16 15:40:51

Thanks MArk
I have always had red ones but my Favorite is white. mine was originally red so I painted it red. I like blue its unique.

It's a great article Pete - congratulations once again. But why they insisted on sticking a pic of that ugly mug of yours in there I will never know! [:o)]

Seriously though, top stuff. I still think the car looks better in the flesh though.
2004/10/11 21:52:10
Mr Mk2
yeah i read the article good work,

how long did it take them to put it in the mag, ie time of photos till it hit the newsagent? and did they have any problems coz your car was in the other magazine? i am interested in finding out!
2004/10/11 23:01:45
peterr
It took a couple shoots but the photographer is relentless in making sure the quality of his work is high and I commend him on that so all up it took about 4 months from the first shoot till it hit stands.

FF did not have a problem with my car being in a mag previously.
2004/11/11 11:21:19
Phil
I stopped buying fast fours due to the level of crap in the mag,it sounds like they may be coming around and putting some decent owner built cars back in,instead of the cheque book cruisers they seem to favour.Good work Pete,have you scanned the article by any chance[?][;^)]

Congrats on getting the car in the mag. That would have to be one of the cleanest Rs's around.

A friend of mine told me that there was an escy in FF and 20mins i was at the newsagent with my eftpos card out [:x)]

I cant afford to buy Classic Ford anymore at $17 a pop ! [:(!]

CAUTION: This POST CONTAINS AN OPINION. MEMBERS WHO CAN NOT RESPECT THAT PLEASE REFRAIN FROM COMMENT.

Fast fours has gone down hill from a few years ago.
Trends and cars change, writing gets.....silly. Some of the cars are fantastic, others should be left in the shed!
And of course Peter got a feature! It's a nice feature, It's an excellent car(a bit slow, but still excellent. Change that Diff!)

I also agree with SimonP, Get rid of your photo and it's the best feature they have ever done!

i suppose this isn't the topic to be talking about this.

but i agree, fast fours have been going down hill for a while, to much plastic and as someone said cheque book cars. i being buying the old school mags, now there a good read!!! tech features and stuff, to many god dam mini's em them but u can't have everything.

So if anyone wants to part with their magazine collections, Fast fours, Hot4's anything, send us an email or something.

Peterr,

I am interested in getting some of those headlight covers if your still willing to get some made up. Will they come with the white lines on them? or will they just be the perspex cover?
2004/11/29 12:14:56
peterr
They would just be perspex, but I can put white pin stripes on them for you.

Matt

The zetec is much cheaper than the Cossie but it depends on what you're after. The Zetec has it's restrictions on the amount of HP achievable compared to the scope of the Cossie and available performance parts. For ultimate HP you cannot go past the Cossie...[:u]

I have been quoted around the $2500 mark from a wrecker for a low km Zetec engine complete with ECU although if you keep an eye out at the damaged car auctions you can probably pick up a whole car (Mondeo) for less than half of that! A complete car would be beneficial if you are getting it engineered as you NEED ALL the emission gear and the associated equipment that goes along with it (as in my case). Also with a whole car you can get a better idea of the engine condition as you can see the odometer and the general appearance of the whole car which you cannot from an engine alone. [%]

Peter, looks better with the normal lenses on the back. I'd keep the clear ones on the front though.

Thanks Everyone.
Sorry not going to the summernats.
Sean - Springs made a huge difference, I was having some trouble with the drivers side one binding/collapsing. Now its great, I feel more confident now.
I still have the clear taillight lenses but I got a bit sick of them, too "look at me", I also think that the front lenses look better clear so I might put them back on when I get a chance.
2005/12/25 11:51:56

Peterr what is the specs on your motor? Compression ratio etc.?
2007/03/27 19:07:13

Current Spec:
All std other than ARP Conrod bolts, kent cams, custom extractors and exhaust, 45mm throttle bodies with Motec.
2007/03/27 22:08:35
Mickas
So what are the cam specs, exhaust size?
what's is the standard compression of the silver tops?
2007/03/27 22:59:28
peterr

Cams are KCFZ2002, RANGE 2500-7000RPM, 11mm lift, 278deg duration. Exhaust is 2.25" after the extractors, primaries I would have to check as I do not remember. Next up are adj cam wheels, up the fuel pressure a little and re tune on the dyno. - later this year maybe.

Hi Guys
Sorry about the delay.
I think last time on the dymo the car made 135 at the wheels.
I have since fitted adjustable cam wheels and I need to up the fuel pressure as the injectors marginal. (4aGZE)
The throttle bodies are from Steve at EFI Hardware.

The RSOCVIC put on a great day with assistance from the small ford alliance clubs such as Capri, Ford Four and Cortina clubs. I got dropped into the interview at the last moment and was bit concerned how many mistakes I made, but I think most were edited out.
If you are in Melbourne in the first week of Feb make sure you attennd SFS and let us know your'e there!
