My options where g-max kit. Ashley 3" exhasut system or ebc discs and pads as I need tem asap really

Get the gmax first mate, you will thank yourself every day for the rest of your life when you lower her, I'm still thanking myself for the si that I did last easter

Its gone so far now that I have even lowered my runabout 1.1

hopefully that will be ordered soon then

shit news buddy

everyone goes thro a phase where they just wanna get rid

glad your sticking with it, you need too at least 2.0 it before you get rid

2ltr is on the cards after everything is dealt with. Bodywork etc needs attention first.

Although i got offered a blacktop 1.8 zetec last night with throttle bodies from my mate

bodywork first

Bodywork is a state at the moment thanks to some James blunts that decide to scrape and bang the damn car when it's parked up

Just need to save up for it to be done now

cant have anything nice now a days

but yes i'd get the body work sorted and secure it from rust then move onto the engine

i'm also saving towards having both done too mine

Yeah all things nice seemed to get ruined. Plus I have crap luck with cars anyway

Bodywork on yours is good enough though is it not?

I'm thinking of waxoiling the whole thing when the weather warms up

the body work on mine is "ok" i'm not happy with a few bits so getting it seen too hopefully in the winter or next year sometime

then its onto the engine, had alex try talk me into 400bhp!

400bhp! what's it running now?

I need to get a quote off my mate for how much he would do a full respray for and then I can get on and deal with the rust and dings etc

was RR'd last year @ 306bhp!

yeah i've spoken too someone on the RSOC about my bosy work an he's done me a good deal but gotta save up now

If you got the money for 400bhp then go for it

Is he local to you then? Because my mate lives all the way over by bromley which is a bit of a treck for me

i think its only a slight change of spec too get 400bhp or close too it

nah not really local he lives near on an hr away

as long as its a reliable 400bhp then go for it

thats a fair treck for you! no-one closer to you that could do it?

reliablilty is always my main aim

there is someone around the corner, but they wanted near on 1k just too roll my arches and do a few touch up's!!

sod that!

i got a quote of £400 just to sort out the small bit of rust on the o/r arch so i told them where to go. always so much cheaper if you know the guy

been thinking for a week or so whether to keep my wheels or sell them on for something a little bit different

saw a picture of my mates old wheels (Escort turbo wheels) and sort of want a set looking how they did. diamond cut with panther black inserts

not sure whether to take the plunge or just stick with my wheels at the moment as money is tight

anyway. pics.

my mates rs turbo with the wheels i was thinking of


and also my other mates orion turbo with the wheels unpainted


any suggestions?

imo stick with the wheels you have, i think they'll look alot better and suit the Si more
