Got a few more bits done over the Easter weekend .
Seafoam was done below
x 1 can in fuel tank
x 3/4 in oil ( run for 100 miles )
x 1/4 in brake booster pipe
Then to drain the oil and seafoam out and do a fresh oil and filter change
I changed my rad cap from the OEM 0.9 bar one
To a Mishimoto 1.3 bar one

Had a busy long weekend and got a few more bits done .
On Friday i went up to Abbey Motorsport for a Milltek Exhaust to be fitted and check the tune on the dyno for the uprev .
Old stock system
The back box pipe had been patched up one already .
New Milltek fitted
Then the Dyno sheet that I was not expecting .
+ 9 BHP ad + 7.7 LB/FT from last time and the only changes were the Milltek exhaust and Stillen induction ( last map in Blue HFC , K & N Typhoon , HFC , P/spacer , Uprev )
The car started out in November at 225.6 BHP and 217.7 LB/FT
And is now 252.7 BHP and 238.3 LB/FT so that's a + 27.1 BHP and + 20.6 LB/FT gain .
Then on to fitting this little lot
First up a grounding / Earth kit that I made up ( X 10 ) and cleaning the original earths .
Then on to the clutch fluid flush / change and S/S clutch pipe .
Old clutch fluid not looking so good .
New ATE clutch fluid
Old cutch pipe .
New one
I had some DEI gold heat reflect tape left over so wrapped this around .
And fitted with some protection heat wrap .
Only problem was I had no cutch pressure so had to prime the cutch slave to get the pedal back then bleed the system .

Sound clip of exhaust
Another small update as some more parts arrived .
Earthing kit to add to the smaller kit that is installed .
Then wrapping the induction pipe in DEI heat tape ( did this on my old Mr2 Turbo and inlet temps came down )
And to finish off a wax with the G3

Got a engine torque damper delivered form the USA on Friday
Fitting was ok but space was tight .
All in with earth bracket connected .
There is slightly more noise / vibration in the cabin but nothing that you can feel to much .
Throttle response feels a little more quicker more so in the lower gears .

At the weekend I got round to upgrading the suspension at last .
Parts arrived from the USA . Tein springs and Tokico shocks
Old shock and spring out ( this set up has done 91K miles so a bit tired )
New Blue Tokico shock
Old vs new shock

Old vs new shock return vid

All set up new shock and spring
Installed
Old rear shock
Old vs new
New ready to go on
Rear shock & spring installed
Have only done a few miles but its only a little firmer than stock and should be better in the corners .

Haha fair play. After pics needed with the drop..
The standard Brembo's not up to much?
Fiesta ST Stage 3
Its only a small drop of 18 mm and 14 mm so nothing much .
The Brembo are very good with the DS2500 but there was a good offer on the BBK so thought sod it .
It will be
356mm front 8 pot
356mm rear 6 pot

Yes it is a waste of money but one eye is on a super charge conversion next year and was a good ish price .

Excellent attention to detail, Alan.
Looking forward to more updates. What power does the s/c conversion offer on these? They've aged really well these!

DE or HR engine in this? I'm guessing DE based on the age. I'm sure i've read of con rod trouble on cars with 400+bhp on the earlier DE engine, the later HR engine is good for a lot more power apparently.
Just something to bare in mind if you decide to drop a load of cash on a supercharger kit.

Jesus christ... That is expensive! Surely an already fast car plus this would be less hassle?

Do you wants z4 for 6 months and then I'll take it back?
Just do what you've done to this one and I'll take it back when it's all properly sorted. :smiley:
Great work!

Update time
Was booked in to Abbey Motorsport for some work to be done .
First was a new Exedy clutch and LUK DMF that was fitted and new gear box oil added .
Some pic of the old units that have done 92K miles .
Old DMF
Old Clutch still in ok shape but some of the rivets were getting close .
Then as the gearbox was off I had some DC sports S/S manifolds ( headers if you are from the USA ) installed .
Old log type manifold with smallish ports and uneven length tubes .
New DC Sport S/S equal length manifold
Installed .
And last to be re mapped on the dyno .
I was told that the manifolds would only give a very small gain in power and torque so the gains are about what I was expecting with the bonus of more power and torque on the whole rev range ( + 11 LB/FT at 2300 RPM ) and not moving the power and torque up all at the top of the rev range .

My XXL BBK arrived last week From Torqen so I got round to fitting this at the weekend .
First up was to remove the old disc and thought I would so how heavy they are .
STD Rear 322mm disc @ 7.3 Kg
New rear 356mm disc @ 9.0 Kg
Ols vs new .
The Rear disc dust shelled needs to be cut to house the bigger disc .
Rear disc installed .
New rear 6 pot calliper is a bit on the large side .
With street pads .
And installed .
Then on to the front .
Old front disc 324mm @ 9.0 Kg .
New front 356mm @ 9.0 Kg .
Old vs new .
Again the front disc dust shelled needs to be cut to house the bigger disc .
Front disc installed .
New front 8 pot calliper is a monster .
And next to the already large rear 6 pot .
And installed
The rear just fit with a few mm of clearance under the std 18” Rays .
The fronts are even more tight but do just fit .
All done and flushed / bleed with super blue fluid .

Just a small update on the BBK I got from Torqen after a day after bedding the system in .
The great think about the kit is that it has the same feel as my old Brembo set up in as far as when you touch the peddle at slow speeds it does not grab or is too sensitive .
I would say at ¼ to ½ peddle travail the force / stopping power is the same as my Brembo set up with DS2500 ( DS2500 when hot ) pads S/S lines and new discs .
From then on at ¾ the car stops like it has hit a tree and I still have not given them the full on stamp .
I will see how much better they get when fully bedding in .
