opinions and advice please



  Fiesta ST-3
Right, im a bit bored of the 1.4's lack of power. In short i want a 182, but i also love the thought of sleepering (if thats a word) mine with an f4r engine and gearbox,running gear ecu etc thats needed. Now i know k-tec do the conversion for close to £3k.

Now bare in mind i have ZERO mechanically knowledge so doing it myself is a no-no. But i also think that £3k to k-tec is a bit steep so a 182 is looking more likely eventually... but i would be so sad to see mine go. I just want a bit of advice really.

Buy a 1*2 and and make it look like a 1.2
Sure you will have a few 1.2 owners more than willing to swap the necessary body parts and wheels with you. Far more cost effective than parting with £3k on the conversion you are talking about.

Mate if i where you i would ditch the idea of a conversion and go buy a 172 as its well within your budget.

Think of it this way..... to do a conversion is all very well but then your left with STANDARD 1.4 brakes, rear beam (no discs), 1.4 styling, no leathers, no toys or 1*2 bodystyling.

Not saying your idea is a bad one, just i would get the real deal for that money! :)

see, i was swaying towards the conversion... thats the beauty of other peoples opinions! :D I will be quite sad to part with the colour of mine tho! I love it

Just get a 172 imo, i'd be trying to get that high mileage cup in the for sale section cheap if i was you chris.

Not many people will want it with that sort of mileage, offer him £2K

When i get one it will be done proper, sub 60k 182... dont want high mileage tbh. RB is the colour of choice too i reckon, too much looking at yours :p

Mines high mileage :rasp:

I'm not foolish enough to pay the £1.5k premium for low miles, or maybe i'm more foolish.....
