I've decided to combine my previous posts into one big post.
I Bought my Si (1.6 Zetec) in April 2006 with 28,000 miles on the clock with a full Ford service history
With full MOT/TAX it was abit of a snatch at £1350, as it came completely standard with all of the extra goodies (full electrics, heated front screen)
Previous to my Si i had a 1.1 mk3.5 Fiesta
Pic above if standard should have been in the ford catalogue imo
Having owned it for a while modifications started to occur. Firstlymy 15" 5-spoke alloys from the previous fiesta went on and a set of 35mm Jamex springs ...
This was followed by some home-brew tinting, and full cat-back exhaust system...
at this point me, my bro and my gf were becoming fairly regular at sixfield and meeting most of you.... heres some pics i've stole and taken from sixfields we've attended...
my si before we left after a damn good clean...
my bro's almera gti after cleaning...
at the services...
matty and moes previous Si's
group shot, with the pulsar (which when given a passenger ride in scares me half to death) in centre...
typical graham...
and i thought this was amusing...
At this sort of time my gf passed her test and got a Ka (which i inspired her to lower! she wasn't keen and it went back to standard height after a few weeks...)
Also around this time i put some AVO coilovers on my Si, pics here show them demo-fitted and incorrectly adjusted...
around my 20th birthday i was getting pretty pee'd off with the irregularities in the paintwork, mostly my own doing, so decided to get it booked in at barwell bodyworks for a full respray in ford's panther black....
i also bought a set of Lenso RS5 15" alloys while it was in there....
this is when i stopped going to sixfields due to time constrictions from my job (which ive now quit
)Heres a few more pics after a suspension tweek (and completely polybushing on the front) from Gordon and Streetracers ....
During this summer i also went to a RWYB day at Santa Pod getting a 17.9 1/4mile time, which was with no weight reduction....
At this point things all changed again,
i bought a 2.0 zetec engine, but had no-where to put it, therefore soon got sold,
i also started gathering the majority of the parts to turbo the 1.6 engine in there at the min, but it soon became too expensive and had to go....
So in my attempt to gain some sort of extra power, even if it was minimal, while changing my cambelt & waterpump i swapped the head for a gas-flowed one, which was found on ebay for £50...
and that just about brings us to now, and me recently running up the arse of some dithering tit on a roundabout
...But again thanks to barwell bodyworks it will be back on the road once more
