My New Project - 85 S3 FB
Posted: Wed May 23, 2012 12:21 pm
Hey guys,
I joined not so long ago and currently have 2 FBs, the silver one had a 12at in it which was some fun for a few weeks until I cracked the front plate and the oil sprayed all over the engine bay – Ramon can vouch for the awesome road side BBQ we had alls we needed was some steak and a few beers and it would be great hahahah
Since that motor needed to be rebuilt I got some new plates and extend ported them and built it up with some south coast rotary seals and some low comp cosmo rotors with various rotor and bearing mods.. Had the car running and was struck down with massive oil leak out the exhaust. I was 150% it was potentially the motor and I had built it with a bung oil control spring but as it turns out it was the brand new TO4r that had 1500 miles on it was cactus. So had the engine stripped to find out the turbo needed a full rebuild. £400 later the turbo was back to new and was installed onto a stock tall port.
It now sits with a tall port motor and massive TO4 turbo - I recent made contact about a car I found out about like 4 years ago when I first come to the UK. After some negotiation the deal was done 2 weeks ago and now I plan on using the silver FB to finish it off.
The car was originally black with the maroon interior but it now sports the Renault Cleo pearl yellow with a custom black leather / flocked dash and s5 leather front seats.
Engine wise its got a 13b 6 port, 48 IDA, gilmer drive, FC stud pattern and brake conversion kits, Coil overs all round, adjustable everything on the suspension and to top it off billet axles!!
The car has had a lot of money spent on it I plan to finish off the car and enjoy and hopefully do some hill climbs if time persist.
Ill post some pics on the weekend when I go down to the garage and work on it.. For now these are the pics I have and as I do work on it ill post some updates..
