hello  first off get closer to your car so you dont need to zoom for bad quality pics  nah you seem to have bought one with the basics covered already, lowered, good wheels and seems in good nick too it the 1.6 i take it (think i see wingbacks) colour code the mirrors is always a good thing if you like power and speed alot of people will vouch for a 2.0 or 1.8 engine conversion whih is practicly just as easy as an engine swap you can get bigger brakes from mondeo's and escorts as well as RS models have a look around on here, plenty of inspriation to be had

Nice looking si, gti's (or mondeo si's) wheels suite any colour fiesta si especially when lowered so you dont have to worry about wheels. Have you any plans? I recommend an rs turbo bonnet athe mirrors and door handles but if you cant be arsed doing that then get an rst spoiler which has a black insert on them which will conplement the door handles and mirrors. Honestly though it does look nice as is, if the rust isnt a problem youve got a minter. |

Not sure yet regarding plans i would luve to make her special! But we will see. Just want to get her running smooth and looking a bit fresher i.e paint work is scratched to shit, a few dents! Guess this is to be expected for a car that is 17 years old. Fixed the idle problem to it was the hose going t  o the maf senser i beleave. also fixed the parcel shelf and cleaned the interior really pleased with how well it came up! Problem is back in work 2 moro no more time to play about

where abouts do you live? im in port talbot which is near swansea i cant really comment on your idle issue as ive had mine doing it for over a year now lol, but try unplugging the maf, see if it runs better, if so just replace the maf check the vacuum pipe that connects to the bottom of the inlet plate under the cam cover breather, its hard to find but it sometimes slips off but it could also be the idle speed control valve on the inlet |
