Been a while since i came on the site but thought it was about time i used it more seeing as i now have an ORST. Not been long since i brought the car and i love it to bits already











A big thank you to Simon@FF for sending me the photos


P.S. if you know anything about OFAC wiring or might know why im having problems with not being able to cold start with my chip please check out my thread below

When i got it rolling roaded at Power Engineering it made 171bhp. Cant complain at that coming from a standard 1.6i Ill push for a bit more in the new year when ive got on top of the problems im having and have improved other aspects of the car i.e. brakes.

Yeah was in Fast Ford last month, but unfortunatly it was the previous owner who got his mug in the feature but i had the pleasure of driving it while it was out

Cheers for all the comments

Cool, it's not the Orion I was thinking of but yes, thats pretty good power from a fairly standard lump, although set up correctly they will cope with 180bhp no worries!

Have to say mate it's one of the nicest looking i've seen for quite some time! Nice touches in it like the rear headrests too!

Get some more pics up if you can, a side shot would be nice!
