Fury Rebuild
Hello all,
I introduce myself:
My name is Sam, I live in Cologne, Germany.
For several weeks I own a Fisher Fury year 1993.
My intention is to completely rebuild the car. So I will need of your help.
I have time up to 10.31.2017.
Zetec engine 2000cm and 15 "wheels.........
The main goal is the lowest possible weight.

Welcome and good luck.
I'm doing much the same as you except keeping the 1.3 Xflow.
I've just about stripped, refurbished or replaced every part of the car. One thing you may find is that the early chassis used metric holes on
the chassis for imperial suspension bushes. They may need reaming to take the imperial bolt to tighten things up.
Enjoy!

Hi Sammy,
Glad you have come by, as I said this is a great source of information for your project and the guys and girls should be able to answer your
questions.

Hi Sam,
I've also got a Fury which I'm building down in Adenau (by the Nurburgring), which is about an hour down the road from you.
I've got a similar goal, but I've got a part built chassis and body, I'm still choosing which engine to put in.
If you ever down this way, we should meet up.
Cheers,
George

This and the brake body that I want to install .
I heard that some of the mountain thicknesses between ball joint and upright . ( Where I took the picture )
Improves grip .
Have you already heard ?

hi,
my i ask why you want to rebuilt it, as it looks very nice on the picture with deep shiny paintwork and a straight body?
is it a live axle or IRS? (iRS is a bit heavier by nature)
front end escort or sierra based?
saving weight on that modell is a bit difficult...as due to its nature being a fury (which has doors & windscreen, side screens, wipers) you
already have the heavier version of the car.
smaller alloys and tyres would save weight
alloy wheel hubs would save weight
alloy brake calipers would save weight
depending on the exhaust fitted you might be able saving weight
alloy coilovers (e.g. protech) instead of the usually used steel spax would save weight
smaller water-expansion tank might save weight
differrent radiator (depending what is already fitted) might save weight
removal of heater (if there is one fitted) saves weight
removal of carpets and any sound deadening saves weight
changing fuel tank from steel to alloy saves weight (or adds weight if you fit a bigger one  )
just some ideas.
did the car pass the german TÜV?

The fury of the conditions are not the best.
The rear axle and .
And it 's all based mk2 escort .
I will make use of lightweight materials such as titanium, carbon fiber and aluminum where possible.
For example, all these parts are made of titanium .
While the German TÜV I have to wait three weeks .

Are you casting your own titanium? If so, that's really impressive.
When all you have is a hammer, everything around you is a nail.

I decided to make the hubs in order to mount Ford ventilated discs without making some changes have disks.
Now I just hope to receive them by anodizing as soon as possible.
red hubs are for sale if anyone is interested ....

With the light weight ethos, why are you using vented discs and not solid? Solid should be good enough especially with ducted air and lighter.
Love the ti bolts. I did consider it up would have had to do it one bolt at a time due to cost. Why o e red bolt?
Do you know what the weight was before you started so you can compare after?

What gearbox and diff are you using? Have you changed the Alternator for something smaller and changed the battery to a Lithium one (both cheaper
weight saving than the Titanium bolts/hubs.

I live in about 80 km from the Nürburgring , and I intend to use my Fury.
The engine should develop enough about 250ps .
At the Nürburgring I have seen 95% light cars such as Lotus,Westfield,Rush have only with ventilated disks .
Plus the record it weighs 4.6kg and is a 267x20,5 .
While the solid disc was 260x10 and weighs 3.9 kg .
Based on these things , I decided to take this compromise
The bolts do not I made them myself, but I bought them.
The red bolt and red titanium, but they are only painted.
The current weight of my Fury I'll know next week.

All alternator I already thought.
I made a bracket to mount the least possible parts of the engine and the alternator to mount the lowest possible.
I know that the original alternator weighs 5-6.5 kg.
I do not know exactly, but among media and various pieces and in more the alternator
with this change I saved about 5kg with the aid of aluminum and titanium.
Most probably have to do a complicated bracket to attach the engine to the frame.
But since I'm driving on the left, the way I saw I should not avre space problems.
You will see soon...
As a battery, gearbox and differential I have not anything.
good Idde and experiences in this regard are therefore welcome.

Hi Samuele, delighted to hear we have a member from Roesrath. Lived there ( Georgshof and Menzlingen ) for 13 years on and off myself. Good luck with
your project, looks like some serious engineering and money going on there!

The weight of my fury is 555 kg with about 5l of petrol.
The rear axle is escort , but all the pieces that were used for the assembly pieces are quite heavy.
Even the frame using iron and not aluminum panels .
The fuel tank , and even in iron.
sheet I hope to achieve a lower weight by using the best materials, Titanium, alloy, carbon and 15CDV6 steel.

Surely it is a question already made ​​by many, but I said I want to mount a 2.0 zetec engine and I have the chance to have a
bellhousing original RS2000 .
I can mount it without problems ? Or discouraged me ? I would be sure not to buy anything wrong. .
Thank you for help

I always wanted a steering wheel with a quick disassembly, but the quality and I never liked you, so I decided to make one myself.
for the central pin I used titanium Gr5, I expect good security.
in the meantime I got the pieces that I did anodized.I mounted all together and I am happy of the result

I also started to weigh a few things I dismounted from my fury.
such as whells.
They are Compomotive 6x13 et 21 with 195/55/13 tires.
while the whells that I want to mount 6x15 ET18 with 195/50/15 Yokohama Neova tires.
to my surprise and satisfaction I have found that have the same weight: 12,6kg

RS2000 bell housing is a straight fit I believe, but you need a different release arm. Alternatively, Rally Design sell an alloy bellhousing i
think.
Some beautiful parts you're using/making there. What are the wheels? they look great!

the handbrake lever and coming very light and sturdy than the original sierra that was mounted on my car. I am still undecided whether to mount it in
the same spot where it was mounted before ...
