I was simply looking under the car to make sure the ABS plugs I’d ordered fit what I have when I came across this absolute 🐂💩

I take great pride and go to great lengths to make sure my motor does not fit the usual Ford “leaks fluids like a sieve” stereotype but as hard as a try the motors DNA just seems to fight me all the way 😭😂

Now you would think, and I emphasise the “would think” that Ford being Ford and knowing their history and reputation for cars that are actually allergic to keeping fluids inside the motor, they would make servicing said things easy…but no @Ford seem to have a sense of fucking humour and think it’s hilarious to make fixing what should be an easy service item, something that is harder than arranging a mother/daughter 3 way 😂🤣

Anyways no chance of a M/D 3 way so onwards I struggle to get this piece of shit out!

I’ve ordered M12 stud, going to pull one of the threaded mounts out and drop the motor down to a point I can free the pump out of the chassis leg without removing the front end aero 😇

Wish me luck 😇🙏🏻😇

The next episode requires the next level of thermal management and @zircotec stepped up to the plate to take on the challenge and provide a complete pre and post turbo solution to get the heat levels down as low as possible!

I have covered this in deep detail in my incredible latest YT 🤣😂 including what’s different and why the change over!

One thing that the 🦅 👀 of you will notice is all the pre turbo tubing and gate have now been ceramic coated before shielding (insulation) I found the temps before were still insane under the bonnet to the point I was considering going back to a metal bonnet and chopping bits out, so had one final Hail Mary go at it and with the ceramic heat reflecting sheet I can now touch the bonnet after a ‘expressive’ drive 🤗

So why did I do ceramic too? Well step into my office 🫱🏻 I’ve estimated that full chat kicking its teeth right down its throat the internal gas temps are ~1000degC, the exhaust is schd-10 pipe so thermal coefficient of that brings outside wall temp to ~800degC. So Thermohold Ceramic plasma welded speed of sound coating can reduce surface temp up to ~30% so my brain said ok worst case -25% off 800degC for us to start with in the bay (600deg external temp) then we insulate the mani which can reduce up to 85% of surface temp, so I played with -75% you know, keep expectations realistic which gave me a theoretical surface temp of 150degC 🤗🤗🤗 those numbers properly got my 🍆 swole so pulled the trigger! What temps do I actually see in the real world? Check out the latest YT and you will see my full run down 😇

The heat management on the focus now done and I promise you won’t hear anything more from me about it…maybe 🤣😂

Thank you @zircotec for taking care of this for me and answering all my endless painful questions 😈😈😈

Some stickers have been removed due to many reasons but mainly because they were lifting and it was annoying me ☺️. #stickerremoval #emptyspaces #spacefornewones

I may have made some not so subtle hints over the past couple months about my other other project for when KAren is done so here she is!

This is Mindy the Mondy 😍 she’s a future project for later on when I’ve become a YT sensation and can afford some actual space to house the builds 😂🤣😂

I’ve always wanted to build mk1 fords but all for different reasons and purposes. The Focus was a dream car and a vision that I’m still creating, the KA is something I’ve loved since the PF days (DJM builds, Flymo etc) multiple builds on there etc and the idea of having complete freedom to build what I want and learn doing it while challenging myself to make it do things no KA should has always been on my mind!

But the Mondeo is a build I’ve always had in my head, the idea of having something I built as cool as a BTCC motor which, prove me wrong, nothing comes close in terms of cool proper motorsport shit, but modern in all ways, rwd and boosted gets my aubergine swole as much as my other builds! So here she is!

This is a long term build, she will be RWD, she will have a 4.0 BARRA, she will run the 8hp70 gearbox (thank you @rstaz28 )I have and she will be turbo’d. I have the very rare BTCC aero kit (thank you @dennerstephen ) for it so I can run 19” CL dymags just like the original! The rest will all be modern safety and modern electrics all @motorsportelectronics control and gearbox control.

I’m proper proper excited for it and to get started but Its in the background until KAren has been done or I have some space to actually build these things and not my driveway 🤣😂🤣

So there she is, I’ll do more updates as I collect bits but for now it’s all about Kazza girl and Rita Sue.

But so you know, that’s the plans, of course full YT content for the lot and I’ll discuss in due time the goals for the build but till then I hope you enjoyed that edit which took me waaaayyyy too fucking long 😂🤣
