Bought this 5 weeks ago, haven't been using as wanted to get the cambelt done 1st as a precaution. Belt done on Friday so had a food old blast out yesterday - loved it!

 

Good old blast!! Damn predicted text!

 

yes I know of 4 others on here

 

any more pics looks a nice one

 

Only got a couple, going to get it valeted this week weather permitting, so will take a load then

 

Lovely looking car mate, here's mine

Really should do a trials and tribulations of ownership thread after being on here for nearly 6 years, about to go to work on nights so I may do that midweek.

 

Looks nice that pal, love the vented bonnet. Would be nice to know how many crystals are left.

 

my brothers 2wd sapphire was that colour , but has been painted imperal blue by old owner

 

how many miles has it done looks very nice

 

Here's mine:





Only very recently finished building it, currently off the road again thanks to a dead turbo (that has only covered 1000 miles! ).

 

It's done 103,000 miles, but totally standard.

Tempted to do a stage one upgrade

 

Loving them wheels, great colour combo

 

Mine:

 

Totally different car in stage one, had an e plate crystal blue in 1998 totally standard, decided to go to stage one after a year or 2 and just improved it no end.
Was faultless for another 4 years when I sold it and bought a focus Rs new, should have kept the sapph to be fair.

 

Mine. Bought it like this years ago and its pretty much the same still

 

Well that sold it for me!! Only problem is, once you start it never ends at just a stage 1!!

 

If your used to standard sapph you'll never look back, after all they should have been more from the factory but were detuned to 204bhp which nowadays wouldn't see off a diesel and that's just wrong.
Cheap upgrade and won't stress any components engine turbo or other.
You may decide to go stage 3 in years to come but that's when your talking turbo intercooler brakes suspension etc etc on top plus you need a strong engine to start with, you won't regret stage one and try to keep it that way then you can just enjoy the car without spending £££££ every month.
