Default Mk5 fiesta track car

Hi all,

often read the threads on here but never post (don't have a ford). Me and a couple of friends all got track cars last year,i got a peugeot (stop sniggering at the back).

My friend bought a mk5 zetec S there's a thread on pistonheads but thought there might be some interest here.








Rough Spec

1.7 puma engine (exhaust induction kit)
Striped out
New bucket seats and harnesses
New AP coilovers
New discs and pads
Front upper and lower Strut Braces
Half Cage
3 sets of wheels with track tyres

He got the bug and started modifying it last year. Mainly making it lighter (as he hates spending money) and the usual maintenance.









Fibreglass boot and bonnet (absolutely shocking quality) lots of grinding and drilling.

I painted up the bonnet and boot for him and being called martin he picked some amusing graphics.






We were questioning some of his modifications, main one being a half cage with no door support and as is often the case with older fiestas the amount of rust on floor/underside.

Around November last year he gave in and started looking for a full cage secondhand obviously.
