My Mk2 Orion zetec turbo
Discussion
Due to the rain today we didn’t go to Oulton Parks GoldCup, instead pulled the gearbox cradle off to have ago at helicoiling one of the front gearbox mount holes
Once off found 2 out of 3 no good so hopefully this is my tapping on and off throttle
Top hole threads have gone
Middle hole is errrrm buggered, needs abit welding back in when it comes out I suppose
So for now we’ve just helicoil’d the top hole and crossed fingers, 2 out of 3 Is better than 1 out of 3
Orion & A3 all cleaned up for tomorrow’s GoldCup
Local show for us & a nice little journey to check all is good again on the Orion for now

Gotta start pulling it to bits now, engine and gearbox are coming out for the cambelt and water pump change. Also gonna weigh up fitting The Mk1 Focus RS Mtx75 gearbox...
It needs doing with the recent power upgrade, especially if I decide to push for more power

That's a pretty serious onion!
My only minor criticism is that it would look more complete with a set of S2 rst arches and skirts to compliment the big wheels and tie in the sides to the front end, other than that outstanding!

I did contemplate fitting them, even purchased a full kit... just decided against it
Dry Test fit of the Mk1 Focus RS Brembo’s
Should be a nice upgrade from the current Cossie 4x4 stuff

Sat in the garage awaiting pulling to bits
New SGS 100l compressor purchased, nice upgrade from the Aldi 24l compressor I’ve run for 10 years
Stripping in progress
Engine and gearbox out ( just so we can change the cambelt and water pump )
While the manifold is back off I packed it up and dropped it off with Camcoat @ Warrington for Ceramic Coating
