Flo is no more

Got a replacement

Gap to fill

Will clean up behind the plates 2morow and then stick the new reg on, its originally of my Focus RS hence the FRS at end but now it stands for Fabia RS lol and obviously the SD is my initials!

Well not done anything apart from drive it recently but i have bought the following parts:

Under engine bay tray,

Screws to hold it in place,

Pollen filter,

Caliper return springs,

HID's to go in projector headlights,

EGR delete,

Heated seat wiring loom,

Aircon regas,

Rear discs and pads

K&N Air filter

Full tank of V-Power.

Well out of all of that ive fitted pollen filter, it was a lovely colour:

Loving this thread car looks great mate I came from a fiesta ST (not a patch on a focus RS I know) which I adored but my fab has filled the space just nicely its a great little car keep the pics coming mate looking forward to seeing what's next

Thanks, well last few days ive been working on heated seats, projector headlighs and egr, i managed to break the brake servo pipe so replaced that.

Seats out:

Rest of interior out so i could run loom under the carpet:

Then i started on the headlights as i am stuck with the wiring:

All gone:

First projector in:

Both fitted:

EGR delete done, what a ****ing pain in the arse that was!

Bye bye broken pipe that had been fixed with ptfe tape, elec tape and a jubilee clip as my brakes died in middle of lakes last weekend!s

So finally added a fuse to my heated seats loom

And i tinted my rear lights

Had to redo them hence the paint on the tape and paper

Done

Forgot that ive got a new stubby areial as well

Whilst ive been messing about with the paint ive tinted the fogs as well

Bonnet down looks better

Will get some better pics of the foglights when i take it outside. Got bored of rear end as well

Oh no holes

Will be ok

Gone

Cheap version of black caps:

Just read from the start.

Cars looking really good and moving along quickly.

It's inspired me to do something, I'm off outside to look at all my parts and find the easiest one to fit

Thanks! Doesnt need to have lots spent on it to make it a bit different.

So today ive done a few little jobs, started with easy delock on handle:

Then i pulled all the door strips off:

Then i fitted a sub that was taken from my brothers T4 as he didnt want it:

And i got off ebay a connects2 kit, ive got an iphone 6 so needed the adaptor but its white so i just quickly put some electrical tape round it so it doesnt stand out:

Things still to do are take the rear handles down and sand them down:

I also need to do something with the doorlock pins as they are chrome as well, i think im going to look at fitting them to the rear doorcards as well along with door markers like the front

The brushed effect on the door handles looks really good.

Easy to do?

Your car looks great

Its easier to do with the chrome handle out completly but they are an absolute nightmare to reassemble, i just got some sand paper and rubbed it in straight lines then some finer wet and dry to matt it down a bit, got to be careful to keep it even and in the same direction and not go through the chrome as its coppery undeneath, i caught one corner but its not noticable.

Thanks for the comment!

Not really done much worth takiig pictures of but the car is now fully polybushed, had new ball joints, new track rod ends and new top mounts. Drives like a new car, ive still got to get tracking done and then i need to get my braided brake lines fitted. I got fed up of leaky door carriers so sealed them up:

looking good mate

Not really done anything in car in over a year apart from driving it about for work. I got a few bits sorted that were starting to bug me, got a new headunit with a USB slot on front so i can use my iphone instead of the connects 2 unit as was getting alot of interference.

Got given some shells by a friend:

Polished them up abit:

And fitted:

Was also geting alot of noise and vibrating doorcards from speakers and road so i found some cheap sound deadening to help with the issue, got about 19/20 sheets:

I cooked it for a bit:

Stripped door card off and started fitting:

I did fit more than shown in the pics and did both sides.

Whilst they were aprt i also got round to fitting some new speakers that i had bought as prt of a kit with the little loom adaptors and speaker adaptors.

The speaker adaptors were a bit of a pain really as the other types i had seen had space for you to pop rivit them back on but these were different so i had to rivnut the door carrier and then bolt the adaptors in place. Also coated it in sealent to stop any leakss and keep them in place:

Also made these adaptors for the tweeters from bits that come in the kit:

They arent pretty but they clipped in standard location and hold tweeter firmly so its ok:

Last year my brother was using the car and managed to loose my gel badge from pastyboy so been driving with no basge for ages, now that the grill was starting to get chipped i thought was about time to sort it so my friends kindly wrapped my grill:

Just waiting to go back in work and then i can refit it with a new badge that arrived today.
