Fiesta vs Clio

jikay said:
Stripped FRP fiestas come in the higher end of that band so it's not all that impossible. Of course most of you'll never believe me.

i believe you mate ;), believe youve done a couple of 1/4s jim, what times did you get ive forgot from ZSOC??...
 
JayR said:
So how would a racing puma engined zetec s be any better than an ST150?

When you say stripped what do you mean by stripped!? Back seat out job or the whole wack? Door cards, carpets, roof lining etc!?

EVERYTHING!!

trust me mate it isnt at all, were all car enthusiasts at the end of the day, ive joined this site for the banter as i know a few people off here that is all...

sorry but thats soo wrong tbh, have a look at some of the weapons over on ZSOC... i.e 200bhp+ 1.6 engined ZS', i think they would leave a 182 standing tbh...

Again, highly modified vs standard. No comparison.

A 200+ Bhp 172/182 would be more competition.
 
Had an ST a thew years back,thought it was w**k compared too my 197 tbh,although the ST did handle well but not as good as me 197,was slow as well for a 2 litre.

Why would you want too put a frp engine into a fiesta??think I'd rather actually have a frp,they look the nuts.
 
For f***s sake, quit with all this jiba jaba. Standard for standard there is not a Fiesta (as of yet) that is quicker than a 1*2 be it in a straight line or on a track or good A/B road.
Lets stop all of this what ifs.

STs are w**k, dreadfulkl compared to the rivals like 172s there like 1.2seconds 0-60 slower i think which is quite a margin...

on the other hand my mate jay has a stripped ZS with a FRP lump and he did 0-60 in 6.2 which got in an issue of fastford...

Haha - it doesnt bother me mate, im not one of the ones saying 'all' Fiestas suck donkey end of discussion!

The stripped action looks good - takes some bawls to go to work on a newish car like that!

We were to begin with until people started with the what ifs. I mean if I stuck a 300bhp engine in a Yugo its going to kick ass. You could go on forever with the "this is quicker than that..."
Click to expand...

i know lol, this thread is all about a stripped FRP engined ZS' and a standard 182, and a proper stripped fiesta with a FRP engine would probs be a touch quicker than a 182...
 
Are these the old Zetecs were talking about here or the newer ones? Iv just thought the one with the red dash inserts look like a mk1!?

cheers, id love to have a valver but the money ive spent on mine id lose out big time as everyone knows you never get your money back plus i cant afford the insurance on a group 12 car as the fiesta is a very reasanoble group 8 :D

:rolleyes::rolleyes:
And a stripped 1*2 like markcups for instance would probably be quicker still. It's a pointless argument.

Started with the older ones.
 
You wont regret going Valver or even better 2.0 hybrid mate - I had one years ago when 19-21 so i shouldnt think the insurance would cripple too much unless things have changed drastically!

A barely modified or stripped out one of those in good nicks a blinder although hard to come by these days!

jamie rigby said:
mk1 i wish, its a mk5 ZS :D

I know its a mk5 mate...I just called it the mk1 ZS as arnt they the first batch of Zetec 'S's rather than ST150 shape?

yeh im 20, ive spent just under 9k on my fez and ill would probs get 3k max back for it so im keepin it and gonna start doin track days...

my mate nick (snick01 on here) has a phase 1 valver and its pretty quick, slightly quicker than mine atm but i have more plans ;), about 3 months ago i had a cheapest quote of 2400quid for a valver and i pay 960quid for my ZS with all mods declared :D

f**kabout £2400 takes the piss - i was paying just over 1100 fully comp a year younger than you back in 2004, how times change!

Pointless getting rid of what you have if youve speant so much dosh on it anyway - it is no doubt abit of a sleeper when compared to a standard!

Ummm - good enough mate, as you've seen there will still be plenty of oblivious RS drivers out there (me included if not knowing about the car) and the like expecting to leave you for dust! ;)

Looks very nice i must admit.

nahh i love the look of the wiper plus im the only one on ZSOC with a single wiper conversion ;), id start a thread up but not gotta clue where to start one!??...
 
Seeing as people are posting pictures of Zetec-s's, I thought I might aswell do it too :rasp:.

Had to dig through ZSOC.com's archives for these but here's my old FRP zetec-s.

I know what you mean about the cage, at the time it appealed to me (was abit younger then). All the work was done by Dan Zetec and Phil Wheatley off ZSOC. I bought it off Phil the way it was in those pictures.

lol the best way to buy... but i like the fun of modding myself to exactly how i want it, thats why i bought mine standard :D
