  1. Cleaned her up today. You can see the Recaros slightly
  2. I bought everything from the UK. Spindles, hubs, disks, calipers, carriers, lines etc
  3. No they were open. I just was not a priority
  4. Honestly the shop has had it for close to a year and I don’t even think they did 10% of the project lines in the list above I’m going there tomorrow to collect my van and move on to another shop that I want to give to work to I think all they did was maybe five items it’s embarrassing and I’m a little ticked off about it
  5. Does anyone have a a solution to a larger output alternator? I had my shop attempt an installation of this unit, but it created havoc and fluctuations with voltage. https://www.ebay.com/itm/254104389682 Any help would be appreciated. We were also doing the big three upgrade.
  6. Oh yeah....I also sourced and now have the rear drum to disc conversion. First one in the USA to do this.....better yet, first one in the USA to do any of this stuff to a Transit Connect. LOL
  7. Update to everyone on here. I have some seriously great news. The vehicle is running good, but I want MOARRRRR. My buddy Bret at The Custom Shop NYC has obviously felt the effects of slowed business due to the closing of NYC. I wont get into a political discussion here, but its really f'ed up how government literally ripped peoples livelihoods out from under them. Luckily, he is a licensed automotive repair shop on paper, but has done all the work so far with #Slamsit. I told him finish my baby up and don't give me a price. I just want him to be able to eat and keep the lights on. Him and I have a great relationship that I can expect great result and not question the price. So here is the 2nd to final set of upgrades before I do the manual swap. I have a person in Cali who HAS done the manual swap and everything is working great, minus a flash for certain pinouts for the PCM and working functions of the BCM. Other than that, he's got it down. Having this thing as a manual will open up more possibilities.....but I still like the NA aspect of it......but then again, boost is an option.....ALWAYS. There are other things most likely forgotten on the list....I took the picture at my work computer, and here it is.
  8. I messaged him on IG. we will see what happens if he joins up
  9. Thats a pretty nice build he has. Purpose built!
  10. I can’t wait. Some other goodies arrived today as well
  11. Yes. Found a semi local enthusiast Gerri g rid of his ST manual Recaros. Let me tell you, the Connect seats feel like a bench seat when compared to these. They hug me perfectly.
  12. I can officially say that with the Transit Connect and 2.0 Duratec motor, there is a lot of cross platform compatibility from the Focus that I have done the testing on. The Cosworth Intake manifold will not bolt right up to the throttle body. To overcome this, I bought a Steeda throttle body spacer. This will bolt stright up to three of the 4 bolts on the Cossie manifold. I can drill and tap the fourth one with no issues. The Steeda will bolt right up to the Transit Connect throttle body. I will have to relocate the reservoir for the power steering fluid, but that is customary on the 2.0 on all chassis. FSWerks CAI works no problem. It does come into contact with a feed/return line with the transmission, but i will be replacing this with a SS flex line. Massive water pump pulley bolts right on and is underdrive. All FSwerks VF engineering motor mounts bolt right up FSWerks engine cover bolts right up FSWerks strut tower brace bolts right up with a little bit of maneuvering for the brake fluid reservoir and one engine heat shield Massive EGR delete bolts right up FSWerks cat less header bolts right up SCTX4 can support reading and tuning my ECU There's probably a few other bits and pieces I am missing....however there is also the addition of a universal ZEX 55 shot nitrous being added with the Innovate Nitrous management system. You want pics? I cant wait to provide pics.
  13. All the more reason to not text and drive ???
