MWM's New Project- Time to go VERY fast!

[Chi]

Haha too much car for a novice

 

[McGherkin]

Progress?

 

[Chi]

Progress?

+1

 

[Chip-mk1]

I cant answer that question, no progress at all, theyve been too busy on customer cars lately

Hopefully over winter it will move on a bit though.

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

Finally had a chance to start making some progress.

I've dropped the car off with my mate who does a bit of fabrication work.

He owed me a favour after i did some work for him on his 280bhp Zetec Turbo Citron C2. (Just because it's so cool.... Pics)

He has started to fit the engine mounts and swap the diff over.

Porkie from the forum found his old intercooler and donated that to the cause too. .

I've also brought a race technologys Dash2 for it too. .

I've also re soldiered the MSD wasted spark driver into the ECU

Hopefully things are going to start moving a bit faster now with this project. I'm going to put ALOT of effort into staying free at least 2 days a month to get building. I have recently got to the end of a massive project for a friend of mine that will free up a lot of spare time.

Forged Focus RS engine in a series 2 ERST.

 

[Cub.]

Looking great Mike. Glad to see some progress

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

Oh I also brought some new wheels for it too.

 

[AdamR]

Love those wheels (have a set for mine).

Look forward to seeing more progress

 

[Advikaz]

This will be great when it's done.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Good to see progress

Those wheels look great, not that its really about how it looks anyway, but still better to look good than not

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

Couple more of the ERST because I think that's really cool too.

 

[...]

you will need wider rears

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

you will need wider rears

Not to push it round the garage, get it SVA'ed and get use to the car one very low boost.

I'll buy a set of 4 wider ones when at a later date to make 2 sets of wheels.

 

[...]

Yep , and being honest for sva that width is easier , then you should get 8.5 under the rears.

 

[Chip-mk1]

What width tyres are they mike? And what width does porkie run?

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

These are all 6j

Porkie has 6j front and 9j rear.

 

[Chip-mk1]

Cool, his seems a good car to base yours on as a starting point as it works so well.

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

Yeah man. Can't wait to get it sorted.

 

[...]

Wasnt sure 9's would fit under i got 8.5s under no probs

 

[-J-]

Can't wait to see this progress mike, gonna be epic.

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

The westie is ready to come home.

The diff is mounted in the chassis are the rear has been gusseted for extra strength.

It needs a good paint but is a good job.

I've had all the engine parts powdercoated too so the engine will look really smart in the bay.

And also a MASSIVE thanks to Chip. He owed me some labour hours so instead of paying me brought me these truly EPIC seats. I absolutely love them.

 

[Daz.]

Ooo I like them - they look like some kind of weird footprint!

 

[Chip-mk1]

Ooo I like them - they look like some kind of weird footprint!

Yeah it's to remind him if he doesn't respect that car on track it will stamp on his gonads.

 

[Dan@SJM]

FLOL! Looks epic mike

 

[-J-]

That's look awesome Mike, look forward to seeing it finished.

 

[Michael Woodford MST]

That's look awesome Mike, look forward to seeing it finished.

Me too mate. Getting excited now. .

 

[barnesautos]

This is looking awesome Mike - definitely need to see this once it's finished.
Well done so far on it
