Here we have it.

Bought the si of dazza used to belong to rennie now its mine Going to use it while i play with the 4i.

So i can now get rid of the mondeo carnt wait. The fezzy wont be on the road till jan got a couple of things i need to do to it as its a little rusty round the edge's.














Mods so for (none by me)

lowered 80mm

Zetec S rear end conversion (boot spoiler bumper lights)

xr/rs side skirts

powerflow back box

smoothed bonnet

I am going to buy 40mm springs as its to low because i need to carry passengers.

Also going to follow dazza's instructions and put the engine from the mondeo into the fezzy so if anybody wants to make me a offer on the fezzy si engine then do so.

Also going to get some wheels sorted might but 25m springs and put Escort cossie wheels on it.

I do like fiesta's so will be keeping this for sometime even when the 4i is finnished i will turn my attention to this.

Nice one mate! Was thinking the other day actually when you were going to get this! :cheers:

Will do mate drives and turns like a go-kart would be good on a track or smooth road.

Lol, good stuff!

Yet another project

I carnt wait to see this one finished as i think you will put your heart and soul into it and bring out a really nice car to finish with.

Keep us posted mate

Love how that car looks on the outside.And 2.0 conversion will make it sooo fast.Keep us posted mate.Give the interior a clean wont ya

miss that car should should never have swapped dazza for his escort

are you goin to do much to this one or is it just a runner

Going to tidy it up put the 2lte from the mondeo in it and all my ice oh and get some wheels.

Just bought 40mm springs off e-bay so when they come i will chuck em on and use a set of alloys i bought for the 4i till i can get proper ones.

Going to keep the car as a runner till i get the 4i up and when that happens i will take the si and sort it out good n proper.

If money is good could be seeing rwd.

Like fiesta's me this is my 7th one.

Oh cool

I love what Rennie done to it. Get doing it up

Could that do RWD?Surely the engine wouldnt fit in longways? or u thinkin puttin the engine in the back?

No you change everything drive train floor everything.

Gartrack used to do it its alot of work £3000 but its only a idea i used to own a mk3 Escort that was rwd (lad i bought it of did the change) that had a 2ltr sierra engine and that was loads of fun (used it to race in the british hotrod club STOCKCAR RACING).

u want a rwd. do as ur sig says n go bak 2 a german beast!!!! u no u wanna dolphin grey 4dr

Sorry dikky but i am not buying your car

The world cups around the corner and what if we get beat by Germany mmmmmmmmmm BMW's could be burnt

Thanks all the same mate

Car should be on the road by end of jan as i have got new springs.

Springs have arrived and i now have insurance so will be taking it out once the tax is sorted.

Its well cheaper the the mondeo even with all the mods.

Quality mate. When are you fitting the springs? Doing it yourself? The Fezzy's on its way mate!!

Yer going to do it myself mate dead easy to do on my car.

MMMMMMMMMMMM possible to low

Thought i would try the car with the 80mm drop on some 195/60/14 NO CHANCE sits for to low looks good but would rip the bumper off 1st time a ran a bump over

Going to start the suspension swap on weds then its just little things that need doing to get it on the road.

When that happens i am going to get new arches and sideskirts so i can get the old one's off as they are fooked.

Cos i am lazzy person i am swaping the springs today and oh my god its cold.

Got some different rims for it bit still on the look out for somthing different.

Just thought i would update the car pics alittle.

Car looks alot better with the wheels on just need to sort out a couple of problems now.

Drivers door pin (door drops alittle when opened)

Power steering pumps gone and it makes a horrible sound when turning.

Car stalls alot when could and only idles at 500 rpm.

Carnt open the boot propley need to pull a wire from inside to open it.

clutch is very strange very low.

Need to swap the back springs as i am lazy and have only done the fronts.

Might be getting shocks and springs soon as i dont like the ride anyway.

Need different wheels but that can wait.

Side skirts and arches are comming off as the are hanging on (JUST)

Bonnet and boot are a different shade of blue

Boot needs rubbing down and spraying again.

There is more but i think i have said enough to keep me bizzy for a couple of weeks.

ANYBODY GOT ANY IDEA'S FOR SIDE SKIRTS AND ARCHES.

THE CAR IN ITS DAY BEFORE I GOT IT.

The clutch is low b'cos its a good/new one mate, thats how there ment to feel (The bite is low, just as you life the clutch pedal it moves).

Come round my garage sometime and i'll try that 2.0/1.6 TB, that should sort the idle problem mate

K Cheers dazza

If your just wanting to re-attach them then Windscreen bonding stuff is the daddy


Know someone who used it (Without screws or other fastenings) on some sideskirts and a bonnet vent on a 306 a couple of years ago and they are still attached

use tigerseal to reattach em,and just give em a tidy up,the jack covers look a bit fooked that all,love the look of this car,it just needs some car,whats the idle problem,is it a zetec engine?

Idle problem is the adjustment screw, it wont screw out. As said I have a 2.0/1.6 TB that should do the trick

I dont want to keep the rs/xr arches n skirts want somthing else.

Had a little play with the car today to try and sort a couple of problems out.

1st thing i did was get the dam thing running proplr managed that so it dosnt want to stall everytime you dip the clutch (did idle at 600rpm).

Had a look about under the car to see if i could sort the power steering problem out only to find it hard to see with all the oil and fluid all over the bottom of the engine. Did notice that the pump itself isnt bolted on proper so will have a go on sat (ran out of light) and hopfully that will help.

Also started making plans to remove all the skirts looks like i am going to need a drill (again bad light stoped play) as some screws are well srewed.

To open the boot on my car you need to pull a speeker wire (this mod will catch on) so i am going to fit a solenoid from a xr2i is this a easy job.


Anthoer problem i have is the door pins buggered and the door drops when you open it. No matter what i did i couldnt get the pin out (bottom one) does anybody have the tool ford use as its a pain in the arse to do.

fezzi is lukin smart m8, i luv that rear end conversion

dnt they just unskrew using an allen key???

No mate thought that myself at 1st think it has to be wacked out with a hammer its just getting at it pain in the rear end.

They knock out, dose it with WD40 and jack the door alittle to take the weight off the pin - You'll need a hammer and a thin-ish punch

does the head accept an allen key though?? ( cant see them just being pushed in. Does the pin turn???, have you tryed a pair of mole grip???

GGGGGGGGGGGGGGRRRRRRRRR Head fell of the pin now its stuck in the door and i carnt get it.

Going to take it to a body shop see if they will do it STUPID THING.

With me making plans for the 4i think i am going to leave the si as it is just tidy it up alittle and put my ice in it maybe get some different wheels.

GUTTED cleaned the car inside and out on sat. Took me old bird (mum) to pick a puppy u in wales dog chucks up in the car (no not my mother the other dog ) and i get stuck behind a tractor and the about 5 trucks in the snow and now look at my car.



Then tonight (weds) got pulled by the plod cos he thought the car looked a little od (his words) checky git thought it had no tax or mot cos it looked dirty how gutting.

Nevermind will be clean come march 26th.

Cars has been sold to a fella in scotland but i have agreed to mot it and it goes in today .

3pm is the time bet i come out crying.

I must admit i will be sad to see it go as i like it. Only put it on ebay to test the water and put a £900 buy it now with 12months mot and my ice and shocker it sold (well thats if all goes smoothly).

I am now on the hunt for a 200 sx (s13) not copying stu mac but i like these cars and they are rearwheel drive were i am home.

MODS PLEASE DONT CLOSE THE POST AS I STILL OWN THE CAR AND THINGS MAY CHANGE.

I guess you have come out crying mate.

Lots of little jobs that will mount up.
If you can drive it around to our sponsors,
Spray force, duttons, for a quote.

Or call them, at least you will be able to
sit in your chair when they say how much.

If you dont have the time or the money,
looks like the sale will fall through.

Gutted for yu.

1. power steering inoperative (maybe down to the lack of fluid? and dead pump)

2. power steering pipe (s) or hose (s) leaking (easily replaced from scrapyard donor)

3. Nearside rear anti-roll bar attachment bracket/mounting cracked (as above)

4. Offside rear anti-roll bar attachment bracket/mounting cracked (as above)

5. No split pins in both t.r.e. steering component is not secure to the vihicle (get and fit a split pin)

6. Parking brake lever has no reserve travel (new set of shoes)

7. Both rear ns front brake pipe excessivly corroded (replaced with scrapyard items)

8. Steering column movement between the shaft and steering wheel(tighten up or replace?)

9. Exhaust system has a major leak of exhaust gases(quick weld job,can be done by cybox)

10.Exhaust emissions carbon monoxide content at idle exessive(remove all engine mods and try again,may need a couple of sensors renewing)


Couple of hundred quid easy,even if u do most of the work urself

11.Drivers door does not latch securely closed

12.Front passenger door cannot be opened from outside the vehicle.

GUTTED THE FELLA HAS PULLED OUT OF THE DEAL AND TO BE HONEST CARNT SAY I BLAME HIM

KEEP YOUR EYES OUT FOR A BURNING SI

I have just payed for my hols and hols spending money so i havnt got the cash to get it sorted.

hope it all goes through ok mate, that cars had so many owners in the last year or so lol

STUCK NOW I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THE CAR?

ANY IDEAS

Unless your prepared to take the time and spend the money, not too much.

Or re list it and sell with out the MOT
See how much it goes for then.

Store it, and do the work later on in the year.

Only have one garage mate and my 4i is in it.

Going to go around today and get a couple of prices then will see what to do.

maybe break it for spares,the rear end conversion should fetch some money no??? Get urself on the fiesta forums mate,they'll help u no end

Right got about to day alittle.

Couple of garages said between £3-400

One said £550

Best thing i think i can do is do what i can to the car and any of the hard parts i will leave up to a garage prob sprayforce as Martin can up with the best idea Cheers mate.

I will see what happens its going back on ebay but i will just say mot up on the 15th of march and nothing else.

Send me a PM you willy.
Scoop I would NEVER use second hand steering/suspension parts because your just asking for trouble.

I didnt know anything about this till now

Been trying to sort stuff out on the motor today.

Tried finding the oil leek but with no luck because its a right mess in there.

CRACKED FRONT ANTI-ROLL BAR BRACKET SOMEWERE IN ALL THAT OIL I HAVE GOT 2 NEW SUPER FLEX ONES ON THE WAY.


THE EXHAUST IS BLOWING AND I CAN SEE WHY NOW.
LOOKS LIKE I AM GOING TO HAVE TO GET A NEW SYSTEM AS ITS ON ITS WAY OUT IN 2 PLACES AT THE BACK ASWELL.


NOW I KNOW WHY THE CAR HANDLES SO BAD AS BOTH SIDE ARE LIKE THIS ON THE REAR ANTI-ROLL BAR.



AND JUST TO MAKE MY DAY WORSE I HAVE A NAIL IN THE TYRE

Nevermind at least its giving me something to do.

hi there the problem with revs going down to 500 is due to the air flow meter as it did it on my old 130spec onion.

Done a deal with the fella on this kit and will be picking it up on thursday I know its not to everybodys taste but i like it.

Need advice on spacers what to get fitting and cost.

Click Me

Admin Edit : Link Edited into URL Quick Link

Spacers generally put strain onto the bearings, but in most cases this is hardly an issue...

Get the longer studs and NOT the screw-on extenders, they are supposed to be dangerous...

Well picked up my bodykit today and mmmmm its wide.

THE TAPE IS SO YOU CAN SEE HOW WIDE IT IS AND I HAVE THE SIDE SKIRTS BUT NEVER PUT EM ON.





Just need a couple of little bits untill i can send it of to get put on and sprayed.

What do you think???

Feckin' WIDE lol! Will look quality when sprayed mate =)

Yer should look great.

Just need to get a petrol cap and tube.

Wheel spacers

different front bumper know the one i want but will have to work on the person to get it.

And a roof spoiler

looking good! what look are you going for? a fiesta cossie or just a wide arch?

Just a wide arch look not looking at getting a cossie front n back bumper only because it was never a car for sale and i want to stamp my own thing on the car because alot of people know the car from when Rennie owned it and i still get you not done anthing to it then.

Looks sweet mate

When sprayed is it staying the same colour?

Dont know was thinking of a deep purple colour.

Anybody know what size wheels i will be able to run with the arches on. ( the inner arch as it will be known the old outer arch that is THE METAL ONE you all following) will be cut away as much as pos so i could run bigger wheels but i am unsure on what size i could run without making the car look stupid.

Also might have my 2ltr in and running by the end of june if all goes well.

After talking it over with the misses i have desided to sell it as its going to cost me alot of money to get it through the mot.

Its now on ebay it will be a shame to see it go but it just needs to much work doing to it to keep so i am selling and may buy one with a 2ltr in it or somthing rwd i will have to see.

(admin dont close topic yet please )

for sale again! lets hope it sells this time! your plans did sound good but also costly, probabily best you let it go and find something with a bit more ooomph!

Its the lack of rwd that puts me off the car.

I like it and if i could take it off the road i would and put a 2ltr in it and give it to the girlfriend but thats not going to happen.

WHEN IT SELLS (even if its for £50) i may buy a 2ltr si but i am also looking at somthing else so lets just see what happens.

What ever i get though will stay the same condition its in because i want the 4i up and running.

If your after a 2.0 SI, give me a shout. You supply the bits (I'll tell you what I need) and we'll come to an agreement on price etc as you know, I know my stuff about them. I get alot of randoms asking me questions because they've been on my site and its suprising how far the name gets spread.

Shame its for sale as it does have potential bar all the little niggly things wrong with it. It might be worth getting in MOT'd as in all honesty it hasnt failed on welding, and am sure your capable of fitting the new bits even if you give me a shout or knock around here. You know, as does everyone if I dont tear into it straight away it takes ages to get down so make sure I decide a day when to do the bits and bobs (Such as the shells on the 4i that I havnt got around to doing).

Its a pitty you cant try my 2.0 Fiesta out as I think that really would sway your decision on this car, of course money depending. Give me a ring sometime

I still may have a 2.0 fiesta depends what comes up for sale.

I took into account what needs doing on the car and then what i want and i am looking at a stupid amount of money. With me wanting to get the other car(didnt mention the name ) up n running i want somthing that doesnt need alot doing to it plus the girlfriends driving soon and will need the car so i would rather have one that wont break on her.

I am looking around as i will have a good amount of money to spend once i get back of my hols.

Noticed you put a checky bid on the si .

sad to see it for sale again mate, i'd have it back off you but ive just got a renault 19 16v

THIS CAR IS NO LONGER MINE SOLD ON THE 13TH OF MAY

200SX COMMING SOON

I HOPE.
