Hi, im new on here. Just thought i'd join as ive been a member on fiestaturbo.com for a while, and heard a few people talking about this site. My car isnt an Si, but oh well.... 1.1LX 5 door. This is it the day i bought it: ![]() And this is how it stands so far: ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Mods so far include: - Rs Turbo/Xr2i bodykit (need to respray the back bumper) - Rs Turbo Alloys - 3" Exhaust Hopefully getting it lowered and a small spoiler on it soon. Full progress thread: http://www.fiestaturbo.com/forums/first ... -vt163903/ Let me know what you think ![]() |

why don't you just buy a si ? or do a engine replacement, whats the point in making it look alike if its not going to go as fast as a si, but have to say that car looks like its in really good condiontion, how much did it cost ? and are you going to actually do anything with the engine ![]() |

Post subject: | Re: Ste's Fiesta 1.1LX |
maybe the running costs or insurance of an Si etc is the reason? And it looks better for it mate ![]() maybe the owner is not in a position to run a fast car but likes the look ![]() i had a 1.3 Si/2i rep at 18 as i had just got a house and couldn't afford to run or insure anything faster ![]() |

Fair point mate, the reason i have kept a 1.1 is because i was given it by my dad as a first car and basically tried to make the most of what i had. I have only been driving 8 months so not really bothered looking into changing the engine or buying a bigger engined car. Going to wait until i have a year or two no claims, then probabily go for a 1.6 si or something similar. Thanks for the comments anyway ![]() |

there you go ![]() experience is vital before you go faster ![]() but be careful, in 2 years time alot of Si's will be suffering from rust even more so then now ![]() |

Very nice. Like you said you have made the best of what you have. I had a few small engined cars before i could afford to go faster (escort/corsa) Also the experience is necessary before you go for a bigger engine, not just the cost. ![]() |

a friend of mine got 2 years for serious rust on his motor, to be fair it was all over the back arches and sills!! and even some on the bootlid. he did deserve it!! ![]() and as for speeding, anyone who does it deserves a smack in the face, no matter what gender or age. they need to grow up and see the real world ![]() |

Fair play you've made that look pretty decent. Only thing to finish it off would be a small sublte spoiler like the Si or RS tubo one. Paul. |
