[quote][i]Originally posted by Rich H[/i] For sale on another forum I use (and probably Passionford etc that I don't use!) [quote="Mike Woodford"]After thinking long and hard I feel it’s time to let someone else enjoy my Transit Connect. Where can I begin???? The van itself is a LWB Hi-roof van and started life as a 1.8 Zetec and has been modified as follows :- - 2003 Focus RS engine that had covered 26,000Miles - Turbo Technics Hybrid T28 Turbo - Forge Adjustable Actuator - GRS Front mount Intercooler - Custom Silicon Boost Pipes - Blue-Flame De-Car - Powerflow 2.5inch Custom Stainless Exhaust (With No Boxes) - Focus RS Gearbox (With Quaife LSD) - Omex 600 Standalone ECU (Fully Mappable) - Cosworth 3bar MAP sensor - Denso ITV24 Iridium Spark Plugs - Focus RS Fuel Pump - LPG Conversion - Modified Inlet manifold (To Accept the LPG Injectors) - Kenlow Hi-Flow Rad Fans - Power 275BHP@18psi - Mapped By Michael Woodford Motorsport (ME) - Yokohama Prada Spec2 Tyres (All 4) - Ford Racing Boost Gauge (Mounted in custom air vent pod) - Sparco Evo Fibreglass Buckets On Custom Frames (Slightly tatty but not too bad) This van ticks every box as far as van driving goes. It is cheap to run thanks to the LPG system. It is mapped so the LPG only gives 200bhp but is very good on fuel. (£25 of LPG takes the van loaded 200miles) But due to the nature of the map it must not be revved past 4200rpm on gas. There is a switch located by the gearstick that swaps the van from petrol to LPG and can be done when driving. The engine itself has just been serviced using genuine ford filters, Silkoline Pro Race 10w50 oil and Denso ITV24 Iridium Sparkplugs. At present the van is mapped very safe as I use it every day and carry quite a bit of stuff around. If you wanted more power this could very easily be obtained by upping the boost to 22psi and dialling in a bit more IGN timing at the top end. The engine would still be well within what’s safe to run and you would be looking at around 310BHP. The transit covered the modball rally and won craziest car of the modball and has just been featured in FastFord which is out on JAN 7th. I have spent thousands on this van and don't regret spending any of it. This van still puts a smile on my face to this date. People always ask at the traffic light, what it is and why it’s so fast, but i have a new project on the go now that I would like to carry on with. It has 11months MOT and there’s roughly 3months Tax left The asking price is £8000ono and it has cost near double to build. Please don't start firing in with silly offers. This is to my Knowledge the most powerful transit connect in the country.

It gets very tempting to throw all MPG practicality out the window with my Connect and have a fun car and van :lol: [Edited on 10-01-2010 by Rich H] [/quote]
