get a full stainless, they are a worthwhile investmen

LittleMissFordie

but then it wnt be worth as much, bugging !

glenis

well you will have to keep replaced standard exhausts every 2-3 years, cos they will rot wont they!

A stainless exhaust won't devalue the car UNLESS the car is a museum piece. Basic sensible mods won't hurt it.

glenis

exactly

MikeyXR2i

Tell me about it!!!
Only Mod on mine is a Stainy!

glenis

haha

what about an alloy rad !

LittleMissFordie

mmmm its just had a brand new exhaust. Wouldnt mind hearing it though

No. IMO the only cars which benefit from staying standard are museum cars, Concours standard class cars and extremely low milage mint cars.

Modifications to improve the car over all can only be a good thing.

glenis

thats what i meant, an alloy rad is a worthwhile investment and mod

that cold scottish air doesnt seem to have done any harm

another site Julia for ERST's which is good is www.escortrsturbo.co.uk Should check it out some time

LittleMissFordie

Cold? It rains everyday, and we have snow now and again up to about April. Summers can be OK but theres always lots of rain, always bloody rain! And because Ive bought an rs turbo no holiday for me this year, unless somehow I happen to have a spare grand by July...

glenis

with all that rain you need to do something... RS turbos dont like sitting in rain, have you no garage or water proof car cover ?

LittleMissFordie

Got a car cover but my dad says they can cause condensation and bubbling.

We have 3 garages but my dads building a motorbike in one, has a 40 year old 30k classic mark 2 Jag in the other, and in the third one he has a hideous torqouise and cream Ford Zodiac.....

glenis

get a car cover from here


http://www.classicadditions.co.uk/


they make covers that are soft and fluffy on the inside but water proof on the outside

LittleMissFordie

AWWW thats soooo sweet! Do u think my babes would like that? Soft and fluffy, hehe might want one myself!

glenis

Lol, well they are not budget covers.... they are made to highest quality...

and used by Aston Martin, Porsche and other expensive car makers... they are not cheap... but they will look after your car...

you get what you pay for, and if you look after your car, it will look after you etc...

i think they all are over £100+

good old regular waxing is all thats needed

Scott R

You can also get, depending on how much room you have, a static outside carcoon.
Its a step up from the covers, and consequently so is the price
BUT it depends on how much you want to keep the car as it is, even with a car cover etc.. the car may still rust a little, regular waxing, and cleaning of the underside, plus routine checks of the underseal, and re-applying where needed is a good habit to get into.

i agree

Turbo Reecey

"Got a car cover but my dad says they can cause condensation and bubbling."

He is true in what he says but if you are going to use it more or less day to day then the condensation will not be a problem. Just pulling the dam thing off every morning will be !!! not only that , the cheap ones need to be tied down otherwise they just decide to parachute and fly away.

Rab

Hi Julia, My pal Doug knows you. Apparently you used to go out with a m8 of his. He's got a big Gold Skyliner, used to Marc's.

He says you absolutely stunningly gorgeous. I agree.

LittleMissFordie

Doug Seivright? Yeah hes cool, he tried to help me get another S2 around christmas time! Ive been in his skyline, its amazing! So what do u drive, is it the red turbo in your sig?

vroooom ptssssh

pmsl@ Daz

Rab drives his missus punto jusnow, awwwww he wants anotehr turbo of some sort

So you gonna go for a s/s Zorst J? i reckon you should but makesure its a magnex or a mongoose

Well im off to wash the S1

vroooom ptssssh

Well dont answer me then

Jus washed the car and got caught in pissing rain ahwell had to carry on, cant beat some water sport

Rab

As Dave says I drive the missus' Punto. 60bhp, I don't know how I survive....... The red one is gone, has been for nearly a year... It's mad. I haven't had a car for a YEAR.............

Doug is a top lad. And Daveyboy, June is the month of my return..... MSN for detail m8...

RS_Series2

Looks good!! I like standard ones, mine is standard except for the mongoose and a d/v

Are you going to any other shows, Cumbria?

If you dont mind me asking, how much do you pay on insurance? I was 19 when I got mine and it cost me a bomb, im 20 now and it hasnt come down that much

Cheers
Andrew

LittleMissFordie

Only 3 companys in the yellow pages would insure me, most said I had to be 21+

I was going to be £3100 fully comp and I am £2450 3rd party fire & theft

What about u?

RS_Series2

I have just paid 1700 fully comp. I was happy with that, most people thought that i was crazy, but its what i wanted

If you decide to take the exhaust off, it might be worth keeping the standard one if it is an S2 one, there arent many about now wi standard exhausts on them!!!

You had chance to wash and polish it yet?

glenis

£2450, crikey thats a fair bit Julia

I am suprised your parents allowed that, as most parents object to such high insurance costs

where abouts in Lancs do you live mate ?

vroooom ptssssh

glenis, she's 18, they can object, but they'd swiftly get the

glenis

i know she is 18, and 2450 is alot, no matter who you are...

even paid monthly that is about £220+ a month...! just for insurance, exluding all other expenses relating to the car

LittleMissFordie

Its me thats paying so they cant stop me? Believe me they tried to ge tme in a ka!

glenis

im sorry, i was just sayin thats all

if your paying then fair play
