Default WELL! I am back!

Used to be on here for many years but had time away from the car scene. Had a dabble at some other brands and have been recently buying some fords again. Be good to catch up with some of the old PF members I haven't spoke to most in years.

Now have 2 focus ST's but one is waiting for lockdown to finish to be sold. And the other is my daily.

I have just got a mag featured G plate mk2 fiesta that Jano has worked his magic on in the past and is going back for a remap ASAP as the new engine is now run in. Its on P8 ecu with wasted spark and air Injectors, greys, t34.48 hybrid, cts box and all the toys. I was looking for a series 2 but liked this due to the spec and saved thousands lol. Although I am selling the second ST and adding in money to get a usable s2. (will add a project thread soon with details).

Advice though? thinking about swapping the t34 for a stage3 .48/55 rs turbo unit for more usable power. Or would it not make much difference to lag?

How has everyone been?

sweet, car looks really good now.

mine was well over 300bhp on its old 2.1 but I am not fussed about chasing numbers. A nice usable power is all I want.

doesn't surprise me but Facebook is littered with idiots. I came back so I can hopefully do a build tread. And I’ve been wanting to get involved with the clubs again.

Welcome back mate

Must be something in the water as ive only recently come back on here after a few years away.

Also looking for a nice S2 RS Turbo too (Getting married in August and would love to turn up in an old 80's motor)

Fiesta looks good and sounds like it'll be a right handful once mapped

must be, its the perfect time to buy, as a few more might come up for sale with this covid-19 putting people out of work.

funny enough I have Ł7.5k left to see if a series 2 comes up 😂

fiesta is going to be a weapon

hows the cabby?

So true, there’s way to many groups for things. Makes it annoying to use Facebook to be honest. I saw you was doing a reunion meet before this lockdown. I’d be interested in going to that.

that’s us 🤣🤣 I help co run “Edition Noggy”

but to be fair we do a fair bit, we go shows, we have trips, it’s not just people who fit different wheels and exhausts either 😂

heres a meet we set up in Scotland, maybe one of the biggest gatherings of Nogaro blue cars ever 😬 to be fair Nogaro blue is an exclusive paint colour.

sadly cancelled to c-19 and rightly so looks pretty much as all 2020 events this spring and summer will be shelved, so roll on 2021

Your probably right. I think the shows will be good next year. Everyone will have had ages to get projects done 😆
