As I've lost one project and just started another, thought I'd get a thread going on here

My main haunt is ZSOC, and of all other forums Ive been on, thought the zed 'soc was the busiest....until i saw this one!!! I cant keep up!!!

Anyway, things were coming along nicely with my 51 plate Imperial Blue mk5 Fiesta Zetec S (phew)

Spec was:-
Phase two, aircon model
Compomotive MO1661 ET35
4-2-1 manifold + Magnex Cat back
PiperX Induction Kit
Gmax 60mm kit
Strut braces all round (upper front, lower front, rear)
Polybushed rear beam
20.5mm axle spacers
Toyo T1-R's, then Goodyear Eagle F1's
Smoked lights front and rear
Matt black Dimma Show cage

About it really, I loved her. With me being young, it was a brillaint affordable car, with excellent performance for the money, and IMO brilliant looks

However, I am No.1 cock, and she went from this




To this....





And no, before anyone asks, No one else was involved (thank fuck) and there were no passengers, I climbed out from that un aided and with cuts n bruises. Its been a hard lesson, but I do realise how lucky I am, in so many more respects than one!!!


Anyway, this is a project thread!!

We need to go onwards and upwards!!

I love my fiestas and have a liking for mk4/mk5s, My mate happened to have a MK4 1.25 LX sitting on his grandparents drive, I snapped it up, and with a bit of tinkering, got her back on the road after 16 neglected months!

She runs well, but the engines a bit ropey, luckily my mate also happens to have a 1.6 Phase one Zetec S (sigma) lump handy, you guessed it!

Plans performance wise are set in stone, however I am struggling to decide what Im doing visually, but I may have a plan

Today, (or yesterday, technically) I fitted some Leda Coilovers, and I am very impressed with them so far, but need proper wheels/tyres to really benefit from them




A lengthy and crap introduction, Im sure, but keep watching, It will improve very quickly over the winter months
