Some details....

Car was basically most things renewed replaced you know....
My dad and i painted it, could be better as were a bit short for time as i needed the car for uni work etc. But i'm happy with what i spent.

All door locks removed, boot lock removed, electronic boot release. Alarm central locking keyless etc etc.

Inside are all basically recoded except for seats but they are fairly good. Little bit of stereo apline mp3 headunit, 2x 6x9, 2x 6.5" 2x12" subs, running of 5 channel v12 alpine amp 4 x 85w + 180W sub. Goes fairly good i'd say around the 140db- 150db mark but i never take it to sound offs etc. compared to a mates at 145db it seems to have a bit more power.

Engine recoded 40thou k's ago now, 40thou bore, std bottom end, mild crow cam, std valves, ignitor ignition, dynoed at 112bhp with twin 40 webbers. 1 5/8 prim extractors to 2.5 collector to 2.5 exhaust (loudish), 5 speed sierra, std diff with yellow konis and 4 leafs in rear. 17 x 7 mags 40 profile tyres, fit perfect no spacers etc etc.

i've had enough typing now, maybe another day i'll add to it.


Heres my rs, has stickers now, photos coming one day.

Heres how its basically going to be setup, with air pipe ( not using that k&n filter gettin smaler one) Oil catch can goes inot the air tube thats off an alfa by the way. the Aux air valve on the ground there goes to the bracket where the IAC was meant to go. thats also off an alfa, and the fuel pump, it amazing what you find in the shed [88].
Got the full variable TPS, a delco MAT for the rear plug on left, running 4 wire narrow band lambda will upgrade to wide band when megasquirt 2 comes out. (stubbie wont be included in final installation, however will be consumed while installing)[(#)]

Rs look great grant, you know it would be awesome if you dropped a cosworth motor in, (hmmm if only you had one lying around in the garage)[88] any way, the fuel injection system should work great, will also look very neat. Let me know how you go with the mega squirt (tuning wise)

The megasquirt is funto tune, the new version (when i get it) calculates VE tables on the fly so that makes it a lot lazier to tune it, which suits me. I might go distribuitorless yet , but for now i'll probly need a run on the dyno to get the timing right.

It should be on by now but i've been crook for 2 weeks so you get that

hey grant $50g payout!!!!
you should buy a RS sierra or escort cosworth, and with the left overs build the rs cossie, and if there is any left overs after that, buy bigger turbos and aftermarket stuff!!

But i just remembered you have a missus?? so that would mean you get nothing out of the 50gs[88][(#)] if your lucky she might lend you some money! haha
