Looking good there Phil. Real handy having two cars. Ive been painting my rear drums today and been going out in the micra when needed. Might do the same as you aswell, garage the Fes over the winter. Run it March-September

Looking really good phil!

Can't believe the quote you got for the si! At least you can keep it tucked away over the winter now anyway, it feels soooo good when the weather is rubbish thinking the si is away out of it all. Thing is, I will want the FRST tucked away over the winter too so back to the 1.1 for me too! lol!

I'm gonna try that asda stuff you suggested, always used gunk too but its pretty expensive!

What else have you got planned for the car? Did you say the si wheels were going on?

Keep up the good work

the si has another misfire at start up, not sure what it is this time, just fitted a new set of geniune ford ht leads and no difference i want it in the garage tucked away now so it won't break anymore 2 weeks left

hmm thats a weird one

good luck solving it

well the si has come to the end of the road its got a leaking power steering and yesterday it got really hot and was loosing water about a litre a day i think the stat is the problem so though it was best to take it off the road and store it before it does any damage, (or leak anything else) as i can't bothered with fixing it atm... so i have decided to put the xr2i rep on the road early for about 2 years to get insurance lower for the future

heres some pics ive nicked off people who got pics of my si at fitp 2009











last pics of the si after a good clean on saturday at costa del braintree essex







now is in storage at my nans


the xr2i rep on the road now, hopefully will be reliable and save me lots of money







interior pic with si door cards now in it and cd player







its so slow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
think my tesco van is faster lol 1.3power it is

FITP pics of your Si look top mate, nice example of an Si. Good work on the White fes too. At least you get to drive a decent looking MK3 why your Si's serving a 2 years sentence

_________________

R.I.P si! (relax in peace! ) Hope you manage to get the problems sorted mate, and at least you've got two years to give it a good going over and sorting out!

XR2I rep looks good, and if 1.3 power feels slow, imagine how my 1.1 feels! Probs about 10BHP by now! lol!
