Cool Car! Like your Idea's but until its transformed im not 100% on changing the bodycoloured bumpers back to standard im afriad Back one especially looks strange. But I look forward to seeing the transformation, and look forward to eating my words
Also 220bhp @ 12PSi on Standalone engine management doesn't sound that great, Is that standard Boost for an RS? (Not clued up on Ford engines, just going on the fact its a 2.0 with 12psi of boost) And is the car running the 5 speed RS Box and Diff

It's a bit less than standard boost Neil, they make 212bhp at 13.5psi in standard form, can't go for any more until the exhaust is replaced with a 3" one, which won't be too long.
The gearbox is one of our stage 1 escort RS Turbo ones, machined with larger bearings, rebuilt with the viscous diff.
I'll be upgrading to a Quaife when I've got more power, no need for it now though, the RST box isn't as weak as people make them out to be when it's built properly.
I think the back looks odd because it's got clear rear lights and a smooth boot, but it looks a little bit more standard, which is my intention, might surprise a few people then

Or
Depends on which will clear the brakes, the 5 spokes if I can get 15s over them, the 6 spokes if I have to go with 16s. They'll be silver though, either way, as they've got silver on the shelf, but not any other colours. That can be changed at a later date though, if they look poo.

Yes mate, along with the original shifter
Puma Build fitted it for him, and they also made up some custom shafts for it.

16 inch 6 spokes in white would look perfect.

Don't quote me on this, but I think he said GT28? Or it might of been a GT28RS? Does that sound right? The original unit was damaged when the focus was write off. He said its going to cost in the region of £1000 for the manifold & £1000 for the Turbo though Havent seen him in a while, will report back with his plans and where he's got to when I see him a Combe on saturday.

Yeah, if he's going for a Primary Designs manifold it'll be shitloads of money, GT28RS will be nice too, we've got one at work which we're putting a GT2871R (slightly larger comp housing to the GT28RS) on at the moment, that's got a PD manifold on too, should see some good power from it.
I'd like to do that on mine, but it's a lot of money for some bent tubes and a couple of flanges

I didn't dislike it, I just wanted it to look less modified
Wheels have sold on eBay for a lot more than I expected them to, so I'll be ordering the Compomotives tomorrow.

Another quick unmod today, made such a huge difference, I don't dislike the smooth boot so much now
Really need to get the new wheels ordered now.
