Suspension: H+R coilovers
Brakes: Brembos
Steering: Unchanged for the moment. Might investigate a quick rack if I feel the need.

what size are the brembos you goin for mate? 300mm?...325mm?....the 325mm are focus RS spec arent they? i was thinkin of goin for a 280mm escort cossie spec in the future.

have you seen the AP racing 300mm conversion from pumaspeed,they have brembo discs i think.

[jon_s]

300mm to fit under some 16's. I may go 325 if I get the 7 spoke RS Diamond Cuts:

theres a dude over at ZSOC who has 325mm on his,he says it stops stupidly quick,lol

[jon_s]

It will do lol. Maybe a little too quick!! 300mm is more than enough to haul my car to a stop!

The phrase "lobbing an anchor out of the boot" comes to mind!

Yeah, there is a 612bhp 4x4 mk6 Cossy engined fiesta about!!
I'll get a pic..and a vid of it at a drag strip!


LOL@tom. The whole idea of the car is to give people a bit of a shock. I am trying my best to keep it as standard from the outside as possible. The Kit is the optional one from Ford, I just need to find the skirts and fog covers. The wheels, if I go 17's will be Ford RS wheels (pictured on the previous page).

The only clue may be a "Powered by Cosworth" Badge altough I may get a 1.3 badge for kicks lol

I will keep you all updated with what is going on!

Edit:

Ok, this was option 1; a 1.7 puma engine. Really easy to do as the puma has the same chassis as the Fiesta. This one is pushing out 200bhp. Pretty much the limit of the engine. (The owner goes by the name of "Woddy" on forums)


However, that is pretty 'common' now.

This is the A1 Fiesta:





The best bit is that from the outside the car is pretty standard!!

Here is the vid:
http://www.fordsport.org.uk/New/Vids/A1_Fiesta.WMV

The car was running 400bhp for that run. With the engine above it is pushing over 600bhp!!!


Ooooooh, (can you tell I have a soft spot for Fiesta's!) I found this little beauty!!
An ORIGINAL mk1 fiesta with a thumping V8!!! (RWD)

if you do go 1.7 jon at least you know its a good thing and has no problems really with it.but the 2 litre route will sure be different
