Arfur

 

nav ............. - should read "naff" ......

poor mr "F" .......... - lovley car,just not quite the 115 bhp he or the others were expecting

 

Naff?????
Not at all! I think it's an excellent car (I'm biased though, i used to own it! )
Is your 16i standard paul?

 

i know it is = only a piss take (poor tony) - he loves it really.

nice - why you sell it then ??

my 16i is standard apart from a janspeed manifold and a blowing system.

 

I had to sell it,
as i'm only 22 ,had a big accident 2 1/2 years ago, got points on my licence and live in N Ireland insurance was out of the question for any normal car so I thought i'd buy myself a nice RS just for shows (I ended up with 2, NAV and a S2), i could not get insurance for NAV either apart from a days cover now and then (Cheers to Bob Deacon for arranging that!! Top man!!) But RS's are cars that are just a pleasure to own anyway so i didn't mind not being able to drive it.

I only brought it out for the occasional show and my dad drove it to the shows for me.
However an oppurtunity came up to buy a new fiesta with 2 years free insurance, so i had to think sensibly and get myself back on the road, which ment that NAV had to be sold and more recently I had to sell my S2 as well. The only consolation is that the car went to a very good home

I bet u weren't expecting a long story like that!!!

p.s Good result from ur car!!

 

all way's good to hear stuff like that matey.

i was well pleased with my bhp figures - for me 16i - as i only use it as a thrasher !!!!!

on the insurance thing - i pay £850 for the RST & £350 for the RSI

so thats quite a bit !!!!!!

 

The cheapest quote for my cars were:

RSI - £6500 Fully comp
RST - £7000 Fully comp
Fiesta zetec - £2100 Fully comp (just as well it's free for 2 years )

All the quotes were from elephant.co.uk

However Bob at Dominion added me on my dads policy for the 16i (which i paid for) for 1 day for the sum of £31.00

Thank your lucky stars u don't live in Northern Ireland!!!!!

 

Christ Arfur your not joking mate

We all love the cars but those prices are hard to justify

 

Jamie Going looks happy getting out of Tony's car

Thats what I'm like when I get out of it (except when it breaks )

I am gutted I couldn't make the day but something very important came up .

Looks like a blinder of a day out.

BTW, thats probably the last time you will see the rallycar looking that clean

 

always fancied a black 1600i, did look at a 'near show condition' one in diss last
year. to say it was a pile was being kind

 

nice collection of pictures !

 

jamie - was a bit happy to say the least,he was gone for 20min's !!!!

my insurance is through - brentacre insurance service's - the best i found.

nuts rus's car,was looking a bit clean on the day...........

 

NUT RUS'S car =

way cool looking,
does it run a zetec or cvh? couldn't see the engine properly in the pic.

Pete, most younger drivers get quotes like that over here, especially if you've had an accident or points on ur licence. The quotes have started to get really silly in recent years.

 

NUTS RuS's car - is running a 1.6 rover engine !!! - rev's to 8k

thats silly insurance prices - glad i dont have to pay that much !!

 

The thought had crossed my mind that it was a rover engine (totally flat cam cover instead of the 2 raised bits on the zetec), but I thought...surely not a rover engine in a 16i?????????

still if it goes like a jet fighter thats all u want!!!!!

 

yeap - its a 1.6 rover engine - that REVS to 8k

running on the day - with a fiesta gearbox

normally a quaife box !!!

how about that then -sounds wicked (for a rover)

 

Woof woof - someone mention rover ?

Had to be done im afraid. Until uncle henry makes a ford engine that is all alloy and will rev freely without destructing itself its staying in there.

If that day ever comes I will swap it back to a Ford. Wonder if Kev's selling his top spec 88bhp engine ? Only need to fit 2 1/2 of them in

Only joking Kev - at least yours is original

Tony

 

rev - that baby does for sure>>>>>

revs as good as me RST

what a sight and sound it was - top motor

 

Congrats for doing something very different!!! and also congrats for keeping the looks of the car original!!

 

there was another motor there,that had a 2 litre zetec lump in it - running some fancy trick stuff in it.
that was really sweet to

no turbo'd RSI's though

 

I seen the pictures of that car, looked quite cool with the black steel rims.

Was it not in Fast Ford or Perf Ford a while back on one of their dyno seasons?

 

dunno - you could be right there

looks cool - sounds cool

very nice clean and tidy motor

 

Tony's car is ace even with a dog (rover) under the bonnet LOL but he said beforehand he was bringing it complete with lamp pod Still there's always next time

 

Pete,i think he did,it was in the van - but forgot to put it on

that would have looked ace for the photo's

 

Lamp pod was in the van - just a little matter of I couldn't be bothered - rather than forgot

As you said pete next time eh. I like to keep somethings up my sleeves !

 

nice one tony

that will make the car look different for RR DAY 2 then ???????????

 

Tony do you have those shirts with the flared sleeves LOL



See you there
