We coming back stronger than ever…

Firstly, as mentioned below, we’ve had a few problems with our hosting issues, and if it wasn’t for our savior CyberMods, then we wouldn’t have been able to even keep the forum online as much as we have been able to. So many thanks still go to him for continuing to host our forum.

So what’s to happen now you wonder? Well the website is not fully complete, but it is up, and it will expand and continue to grow. So you will no doubt still see a few small issues. But on a positive note, more members car’s will be a featured in the members gallery as well as a few new feature cars coming this way very soon. You may also notice the new section, click on it and think “erm – why’s a Capri on fiesta-si.com?” well to answer that, were asking you lot to write about certain aspects of Ford’s history, be it a car, an engine or anything to do with Ford that you may think others will have an interest in, be it your own story or the actual history of your chosen subject. More info can be found on the forums if your interested.

So stay locked in everyone, all the problems you see for now with FSi Will be fixed and sorted out. We’re back and growing stronger.. nothing can stop us now.

Early August 2005

Ok, so it’s time for a fsi update for you all. We’ve been busy here over at fiesta-si.com ironing out all the bugs and doing quite a few updates. All of our content is up and running and we have a more for you in store.
We would just like to take this time to say a quick Thank You to all of our members, who have bumped us past the 200 mark.

We’re always looking to develop the site further and would like your input. If you think your car is worthy for its own page in our ‘Members Cars’ section then email one of the admin on the forum, and we’ll stick you a page up. We welcome cars in various stages of their development, us modders are never finished so we understand if you’re not 100% happy, neither are we!

We’re also currently working on a few new bits for the site to keep it looking fresh and new content for new and old users. If you have any suggestions for the site email us, or pop a post up on the forum.
Many thanks to you all, and especially Fast Ford Magazine for putting a snippet up about us in their Editorial section of Augusts issue of the Magazine. Cheers guys.

That’s not all for now though, v1.3 is here and we hope you won’t be disappointed with the constant updates.

Late August 2005

Well guys, i have some bad news.. The hosting company we used it seems didn’t like to pay their bills, and so without notice they have gone "missing" and connot be contacted. So first off the website might be having bandwidth problems until we can find a decent and more secure host.

Second off, the past 6 months of the forum seems to not want to restore into a new phpBB board. So i may have to say that we have lost all our members and posts… All i’d like to say at this point is FSi will return, and so will the forum. And i’ll keep fighting to get the forum back up to where it was before. We’ve made such a great community so far and i can’t let something like this die, i know Des and Scott feel the same way.

So if you could please bare with us, we will have this sorted within the week no matter what. I just hope this doesn’t cause too many problems for you lot, as i don’t know about you but i’m lost without the forum a little. Anyway thanks for listening and i will continue to put every evening and weekend into this place like i have from the start, and i hope you like the new look of the place, links will start working shortly.

Well, it’s finally happened! Fiesta-Si.com has launched and we
have to say, we’re quite pleased with what we have achieved! It’s
taken a lot of late nights, a lot of preparation, a lot of shall
we say, disagreements, but yes, it’s here!

This site is aimed at the Ford Fiesta Si, be it the 1.4 8v, or
the 1.6 16v, But we do also welcome any other Fiesta owner! Got
an RS1800? Got an XR2i? Got a 1.1 Popular Plus? You’re all welcome!
If it’s Ford and Fiesta, sign
up!

So why did we decide to do this? We’re already members of numerous
car sites, but none of these specifically cater for the Fiesta
Si. One late night chat brought this to light, so what would be
the logical step? Create one! Lots of idea’s were thrown about,
lots of suggestions and lots of dreams to be quite honest, so
it may well be inevitable we have missed some important things
which will make the whole FSI.com experience all the more enjoyable!
So we want you, the new users, to tell us what you think! A post
will be put up for you to air your views and post you suggestions,
all of which will be considered!

The Fiesta Si is a great base car to start off with your modifying
life (and believe me, it can take over your life)! It has a strong
chassis, a choice of 2 engine sizes, and is very cheap on insurance
costs! But do a search for it on the Internet, and not that much
comes up! So how many Si owners out there are there that miss
the more popular sites for helping with the modifying and problem
solving process, www.fiestaturbo.com being one of them! This site
is a personal favourite of mine! It has a great bunch of people
there, a busy forum, and the regulars who post that know their
stuff! Myself (EvilDes) and the other admin (Ry and scotty_boy)
are all regular posters on there, but just felt it time the site
members who own Si’s, have their own place to refer to!

And so that brings us onto what we have before your very eyes.
The construction of FSI.com was a laborious process. We had to
try and get the right style, look and content to the site. You
may well see many changes happening in the foreseeable future
as we attempt to make FSI.com as pleasing to the eye, as easy
to use and as enjoyable for you to use! We’d welcome any suggestions
on any part of the site, so feel free to post up or pm any one
of us! What we aim to give you is a main site that has much information
to take from. Something else we’d like to do is write up reports
on shows, post up news and inform you of coming events! The forum
is also an integral part of the whole FSI.com experience, and
hopefully you will find it informative as well as entertaining!

This site is made for the Si owner. It’s time
to stop feeling neglected..
