it'll never beat a ph1 in a race either so save yourself the embarrasment and don't try it on a meet if you ever go on one.

drive it flat out everywhere it won't break then and don't let off mid corner

I took the fiesta to a classic car show at the weekend and took a few rubbish pics of it

I took this while driving its turned out ok considering

Not looked on there yet as i'm not rushing into it, i'm going to leave rexy to source a decent engine for me he's the man with all the vauxhall knowledge. I've been on the performance nova group and they are loving the idea of an xe fiesta lol. I just need to get hold of my mate and his nova to...

Gaz found a full engine and box for £300 so as long as it physically fits in the engine bay which shouldn't be an issue the only major expense i may have is getting driveshafts to fit as i may need some custom shafts making. Xe nova's go really well so it'll just be the same in the fiesta. I'm...

i said f4r engine to gaz but he said with it not having a self contained loom it would be an absolute nighmare where as the xe would only take about 5 wires to get running.

Change of direction the escort was crap and the zetec engines are under powered for what they are so the new plan is to try get hold of a decent xe at a good price and try get that fitted. 150bhp as standard and totally bullet proof with a lot of potential for more power. I'm sure the ford boys...

i was going to ask you but i'm buying an escort gti at the weekend to use as a doner car. If it doesn't go ahead i'll get in touch.

i was thinking exactly the same thing i'll not be fitting it straight away as i want the car for this years shows. it gives me time to do plenty of research as my knowledge of all things ford is very limited at the minute.

are you on passionford? i just thought i reconised the user name

Its supposedly got the cams out of an rs 1800 to give it the 130bhp

i'll get some up in the morning

Looks like i've just bought an escort gti as long as it runs fine like the guy says. Should have it on saturday. 130bhp should be enough for now.

you need a sump guard like mine

What size are the r888 and how much were they? i'm going for 185/60/13 but no one seems to put prices up.

the Pictures from todays work backs with the bilstien springs in old and new rear springs New rears fitted fronts old and new fitted fronts before lowering and painted wheels and how it stands now, it was parked on a hill and it needs to settle but you get the idea

Its not got the power to need better lol you can make it screech round corners on command. It'll get r888 in 185/60/13 when i get a new engine in it. I fitted some 50mm lowering springs today so i'll post some pictures up when i get home. It needs a full geo setup now as the steering...

no he's still resisting it so far, thats another mates car

I painted the wheels black as the red was peeling off and looked a mess, i think it suits it quite well I'm loving the attention it gets, people keep coming up to me and talking about it lol

yes please i won't be able to do it till tommorow

i put those vids of the fiesta on youtube they weren't best ever but i'll post them when i'm on the computer.

I've just ordered a set of 50mm lowering springs and started to spray the wheels black as they look a bit of a mess at the minute. I've been driving it this weekend and other than a few small niggles it runs well. I think the plan soon is to get a 2.0l zetec fitted to it as although it is fun...

oldskool power lol

Superb pictures as always. Did you get any of the fiesta in few the seconds it was stood still?

The festa is getting a proper whoring recently :)

No rush i've no springs yet

I took it round there yesterday its really good i just want the sump guard on now so i can go low.

We went to mcdonalds for a healthy tea

I nearly ended up going the wrong direction on the motorway
