I'm very slow on this project, but even glaciers make progress. 😁 Turbo manifold is here from the UK! It maintains the stock turbo position and internal gate of the RS, perfect for the hybrid stock turbo and exhaust I'm running. And man does it just look awesome!

Stepping up my wiring tooling so I can start building connectors and pigtails, and more quickly work on harnesses. Single action wire stripper, a variety of cutters for wire and terminal reels, brass open barrel splice crimper, and terminal crimper for small gauge wires. 🧰 🔧 🔌 #automotivewiring #wiringharness #handtools #strippersofinstagram #oopswronghashtag https://www.instagram.com/p/CLmnxE9HaIR/?igshid=fxotabq7lyf1

I work slow, but the projects get done eventually. Brake parts are here! 😁 #rsvt #svtfocus #mk1focus #focusrs #bigbrakes https://www.instagram.com/p/CAsq3Uonihy/?igshid=i0shra8lbhj2

Time for stuff and things on the #RSVT! What else could it possibly be but fixing more wiring horky borkiness? Also swapping in slim RS fans while I'm in there. ・・・ #svt #svtf #svtfocus #svtfocusfanatics #specialvehicleteam #ford #focus #fordfocus #focussvt #fordsvtf #fordsvtfocus #fordfocussvt #mk1focus #focusmk1 #hothatch #ffclub #focusclub #focusrs #focusrsmk1 #mk1focusrs @thefordbible @ford_hothatch @fasterfords @focus_mk1_lovers @ford4life1 @yourfordsdaily @fordgeeks @ford_focus_nation @focus_fans @becausefordfocus @ford_focus.club @rs.st.club https://www.instagram.com/p/B32M3JjHZS_/?igshid=1phwd48khtoyj

@fordnationals / @officialfocusrising 2019 are officially over, and the RSVT made it and did better than ever! After taking 3rd the last two years in the SVT Focus category, we finally made it to 2nd place this year, and with a celebrity pick from Focus Rising's long-time event manager @kmweber88! To top it off, Focus Rising reclaimed the #1 spot for the Ford Nationals Club Challenge with 195 participants, and the RSVT got itself in the group photo! Many, many thanks to everybody! ・・・ #svt #svtf #svtfocus #svtfocusfanatics #specialvehicleteam #ford #focus #fordfocus #focussvt #fordsvtf #fordsvtfocus #fordfocussvt #mk1focus #focusmk1 #hothatch #focusrising #fordnationals #carsatcarlisle #carlisleevents https://www.instagram.com/p/ByOkbYgHJ1F/?igshid=5pr9fovxgqa2

Check out this little guy... the Transit Connect steering fluid reservoir is identical to the Mk1 Focus', except it has a black top half! I thought it was a neat little change to try. Part number BT1Z-3E764-A. I also got the correct fasteners for the RS wheel well liners to connect to the undertray, and grabbed an in-progress pano shot of the poor car in pieces. 😂 ・・・ #svt #svtf #svtfocus #svtfocusfanatics #specialvehicleteam #ford #focus #fordfocus #focussvt #fordsvtf #fordsvtfocus #fordfocussvt #mk1focus #focusmk1 #hothatch #focusrs #focusrsmk1 #carlisleprep #focusrising https://www.instagram.com/p/Bx1HGF5nTAr/?igshid=y79opz4jdgxq

De-stickering the engine bay really cleans things up - who needs warning labels? Plus, a preview of the best maintenance piece ever: a new hood prop grommet! 😂 ・・・ #svt #svtf #svtfocus #svtfocusfanatics #specialvehicleteam #ford #focus #fordfocus #focussvt #fordsvtf #fordsvtfocus #fordfocussvt #mk1focus #focusmk1 #hothatch #focusrs #focusrsmk1 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxXPZEEDb7M/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=15f39tmxn4ylu

A holy grail has been added to the #RSVT ... a new coil pack cover with all of its tabs intact! 😱 ・・・ #svt #svtf #svtfocus #svtfocusfanatics #specialvehicleteam #ford #focus #fordfocus #focussvt #fordsvtf #fordsvtfocus #fordfocussvt #mk1focus #focusmk1 #hothatch #focusrs #focusrsmk1 https://www.instagram.com/p/BxVMvO0jEoP/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=qml90h140rmm

Work continues on the #RSVT to clean up the rear suspension and brakes: here the wheel well is getting a nice spray of black rubberized coating. ・・・ #svt #svtf #svtfocus #svtfocusfanatics #specialvehicleteam #ford #focus #fordfocus #focussvt #fordsvtf #fordsvtfocus #fordfocussvt #mk1focus #focusmk1 #hothatch #focusrs #focusrsmk1 https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw08CqWHE-X/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=4brqwh8fpto1

Fixing some more nuncery on the #RSVT. Apparently the rear spring perches were not installed correctly - or not at all, to be more accurate. 😂🤦‍♂️ Some beautiful new 316 stainless bolts and lock washers later and it's coming back together. The control arms look ugly but they're still solid, so they're staying in for now, but a new swaybar and endlinks are on order! 🤘🤪🤘 #svt #svtf #svtfocus #svtfocusfanatics #specialvehicleteam #ford #focus #fordfocus #focussvt #fordsvtf #fordsvtfocus #fordfocussvt #mk1focus #focusmk1 #hothatch #suspension #coilovers https://www.instagram.com/p/BwnqEXxnIVC/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=17xnch3fer7kc

More bespoke RS bits for the #RSVT! Can you guess what this is?
