at first i was not to sure but once it progressed i think it looks so damn good, very neat and clean looking, all that is missing is a upper strut brace. also i said this a few months ago i cant believe your channel isnt bigger, such good content, good stuff as usual
Thank you mate, yeah it really came together in the end. I might get a strut brace later in the year but I do have a handling mod inbound 👀 and thank you, it will come, I think when I make the more serious modifications I’ve got planned it’ll help but I’m really happy with how the channel is growing 🙌🏻
@@MendItModIt can highly recommend the omp anthracite (sp?) strut brace. Fits with the plastic windscreen wiper shroud in place and took me fifteen minutes so tells you anyone can do it. I'd avoid strutbraceruk or whatever they are called on ebay. Get one from elsewhere. Save yourself the pain.
The cold air intake look brilliant. With the engine cover I have to say it came out looking good but I am the type of person to paint the engine cover a different colour to the car to make it stand out more when showing it off.
Yeah I love the mountune intakes and I think they really go with the other covers, I get what you mean with the engine cover but I like a subtle engine bay 😂
Now then mate I’ve had a go at this myself and I’ve forgotten what wire goes to which injector is there any chance you could point me in the right direction with what goes in to what cheers mate
I have been wanting to do this for ages and was told Its easy to just cut and move to the left of the rocker cover but after watching this I defo can't do this myself, it's so much work to do 😞 Its just too fiddly a job for me and time wise. I was hoping all I had to do was unlip the black bit left of rocker cover and shift the wires over so it's not covering the rocker cover
@@DriveWithAndy no its straight forward enough ..it gets complicated when u have to start extending the harness or removing plugs etc …get un there bud , no disrespect but your channel needs to step up and have a go at stuff like this , plug and play mods only can go so far , mike and ted are starting to pull away from you with subscribers, sorry to be so blunt …
@@swiftyrs2354 yeh wish I was more hands on but not been easy with the kid and busy at work. Just not got he time. Also when I have tried to do DIY sometimes I end up getting angry as I can't do it or spend more than getting it done professionally. Some people are just better at it. My channel is more quite than it was which is sad 😞
Yeah I thought about painting it but it was in good condition so I didn’t want to scuff it up if that makes sense. It’ll be for sale with most of the other chrome bits soon
Not a fan of the plastic covers for the battery/coolant bottle, they look a bit Halfords like. I think painting the chrome covers you had would look better and match the engine cover. Edit: with the mountune cold air intake the plastic covers do fit a lot better with the overall look. Although personally I like the standard engine cover 😊
I get what you mean mate, I could still paint them to match the engine cover, I just felt they looked a bit more OEM unpainted, and I thought they’d match the intake better as I don’t want to paint that either, rather keep it as it comes from Mountune. I liked the standard engine cover too but I got hassled for that when I put the RamAir filter on 😂
Yeah definitely declare your mods or any alterations from standard. Im on a modified policy and with mine any cosmetic, handling mods etc don’t affect my price, I can update them via their website and I get a revised list of all the mods I have each time I update it. Any performance upgrades that affect bhp I have to call them but as long as it doesn’t push it over an agreed level it still won’t affect my price.
@@MrPaulb1982 you know what I don’t actually know on that one, mate of mine once had issues claiming because he had red brake callipers and the insurance classed it as a mod 🤷🏻♂️ guess it depends on the company but it can’t hurt to just tell them everything
@@norm4242 yeah I need to get that sorted, like swifty said I will rebuild it most likely but yeah there’s another engine on the stand at the moment 😂 I would love to put it on a dyno but i don’t have one local sadly, I’ll look into it though as it would be good to see how much better it is just after a rebuild and then I’d know just how much power it makes when I push on with the performance mods.

Professional job with the re-wiring. You could make a living out of it. Again great content and the engine bay is looking on point now!

The chrome was vile lol. Much better now, and even better without the weird plastic loom thing across the top of the engine.
I took a punt to try and be different but you’re right it wasn’t the one was it 😂😂
Yes on the voaxal astra 2.2
I have chrome engine cover I think it looks quite nice
Great video mate your hand must have teleported down there fair play to you😂😂😂
😂😂 thanks bro, removing the throttle body helped but honestly would have been quicker to put it on the ramps, I just hate dragging them out 😂😂
@@MendItModIt I need a set of them ramps myself I’m fed up with getting the jack out 😂
@@6uiltdifferent I hate jacking the car up, don’t know why, I think part of it is dragging my jack out because it weighs a ton 😂
@@MendItModIt 😂😂😂 need an aluminium jack
Great video I like the wiring mod much neater 👌
top vid mike , was waiting for you to drop this since our meet last Sunday ..as mentioned , i do like the wrap on this 150 😎😎….
Thank you mate 🙏🏻
Ford KA sport has a battery bag/cover I had one on my fiesta
Awesome job! Personally I did like the ST badge on there but perhaps now that it's black it might not be a great fit...
I liked the idea of a badge, maybe not that one, but I’ve got something in mind 😏

Good vid Mike, better without the chrome tbh, looks more oem
What “get my hands down there” 😂😂😂
@@MendItModIt 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Looking very nice!
Thanks mate 🙏🏻
I like a kot more with the Chrome parts
Now then mate I’ve had a go at this myself and I’ve forgotten what wire goes to which injector is there any chance you could point me in the right direction with what goes in to what cheers mate
Hi my friend i have got good 👍 explaining thanks so we have the car 2007 ford fiesta &i don't no where you are can we get parts of engine

get ur hands in there andy , its not a complicated mod ..hands on is the only way to go chap …🤷🏻♂️
Mine looks a mess, would be nice to do this one day as well!!
@@swiftyrs2354 looks complicated to me though, I just wished all you had to do was unclip the big black plastic bit and move the wires to the left

Just got the induction kit for my car would you swap the black hoses for red ones?
Now that you’ve moved the wiring. The original chrome engine cover you bought would now look better if you painted it instead.
Yeah I thought about painting it but it was in good condition so I didn’t want to scuff it up if that makes sense. It’ll be for sale with most of the other chrome bits soon

Do you have to keep updating your insurance policy after every modification, bigger wheels , air filter ect?
yes ..aftermarket filter / non oe wheels …body kit etc , have to declare , if not could void your insurance on a claim / or insurance in general ..
@@swiftyrs2354 any special insurance policy or provider or just any insurance, I'm with zenith.
Do you have to declare painted oe wheels ?

What's happening with this engine I thought the compression was gone on 2 of the cylinders?
i believe it still runs ok , just uses a tad of oil , once the mk7 engine he’s rebuilding is back in ,the st150 engine is next for a rebuild .
Mike should put it on the Dyno to see what it's making now that'd be a good video.
@@norm4242 yeah I need to get that sorted, like swifty said I will rebuild it most likely but yeah there’s another engine on the stand at the moment 😂 I would love to put it on a dyno but i don’t have one local sadly, I’ll look into it though as it would be good to see how much better it is just after a rebuild and then I’d know just how much power it makes when I push on with the performance mods.
Have you sold the ram air intake?
I haven’t yet mate no. I will be selling it but I do plan on using it for a video before I sell it
@@MendItModIt if you do sell and have it for a good price let me know please 👍
