My new toy, and first RS

What about a Zetec turbo with the aircon and pas?

THey come like that out the box, nothing new there. CVH however was spec'd, designed, but never produced. If you look hard enough on microcat you can find the blueprints. I did it to my xr2 CVH, now I wanna do it on a turbo CVH and get it featured somewhere!

Design is all well and lovely, but a car is for driving, and it will be a much better drive with the 2.0 in

Right then you vultures, here's the plan! Body is gonna take me till after winter to finish and will be the thick side of £3k to get done. After that, there's gonna be a fair amount of interior reworking, then the undercarriage, new front and rear brakes, pedal box, all that stuff. By this point, I'm gonna wanna get it on the road! My CVH engine is all ready to go in as a standard engine, so I'll whack that in (recon'd of course), with a fresh turbo and megasquirt, and enjoy the car. That way I can test and play with the megasquirt and still build my CVH. While that's in, I can concentrate on making the 2.0 nigh on perfect, no cut corners, then drop that in when it's done, strapped to a straight cut ib5 as I suspect it'll shread a BC box, even uprated.

Happy??

Indeed - you're not building an ornament Steve

Oh, and don't fit a dump valve.

I wouldn't bother with the Zetec, just build the car you've thought about and wanted for years Steve ............. STICK TO THE PLAN!

The CVH will still be an animal by the time you've finished and the PAS and air-con will be lovely little touches and a much more unique car

After a VERY helpful chat with Christian, I have a solid picture of what i need to realise my aim. It's gonna be biblically fast 

[cozmeister]

And biblically expensive

Nothing built well or solidly is cheap - Just ask Mike or Churchy! Engine will work out approx £2k, but that is with me building it

I believe I said this with my previous statement

ZVH all the way best of both engines will be as strong as u like and take a lot of abuse in its stride plus will still look like the CVH and can have the power steering fitted like u want to do
