it gets you down dont it mate


get a buffer and do this on yours mate, after a few hours practice its easys, but dont let your guard downa s its easy to damage the paint

thanks mate means alot

ill get a good pic of that area, but its come out really well, could do with a tad more blending in though

fair play to you.

true but after the damage on my passenger door and wing, i was thinking today it would be extremely difficult to get a good colour match with the door and wing... so i think ive decided to save for a full respray. i think it needs it, then i can just keep on top of it looking beautiful!

defo mate, would like to see the area as it stands.

bagged a right bargain today


the escort tis now gone, sold for a alright sum i guess, wanted more but dont we all? and almost never get that figure


bargains being







brillirant condition! but the drivers at the top where it clips tot hem useless clips is a bit tatty as it doesn't sit in the clips, which is anoying, other than that they're in fantastic condition



now bargain number 2



















sorry for the crap pictures only had my phone handy

O.Z Superturismo's in 16 inch and 7j wide unsure on the offset, i removed them from a mk5 Zetec s at a breakers

might keep them, might flog them on, reckon i could fetch around £300 if i referb them, as they are pretty kerbed up and theyre in good need of a good scrub and wash

but absolute bargain, tyres are knackered though, was going to be my little surprise mod for ford fair but i guess that can wait

car is all cleaned and ready for the tip, will be washing it tomorrow though at a garage/carwash if i can find one :S

hope your all ready

I like them! Always loved super t's go with any car.

Personally I like them, plus they don't fetch much anymore.

im hoping that too ben, getting tires monday , hope theyre 195/45/16s or they wont fit under the arches lol

just to clarify ford fair will be spent on the 16v wheels

was going to say must be a tight squeeze! but they dont look oversized in the pics :S

nah i know, i was shitting myself on the way home fromt he breakers but they fit snug, bearing in mine there 7J!!! the 195 tyres just aint wide enough and there is stretch never had stretch in my life lol, on top of that i need 5mm spacers just to fit them lol, gonna keep my eye out for extended studs at ford fair so i can run larger 10mm spacers, dunno "wheel" wait and see

i want my Si to be hitting 60 in the low 7's soon, hoping the cams will give me around 135-140 bhp, on book the fast road kent cams will give 12-16bhp increase so its achievable from my roaded 126bhp

so when they arrive in the post ill fit them, still need to get my overfueling sorted though, dunno whats causing it, injectors maybe? ive changed my lambda

cracking weekend, great thanks and respect to Dave5300 and his mate, top blokes so down to earth, camping apart from missing the club was great,a nd ford fair was fantastic

the car looked the best it has since ive owned it and im very proud of my 0-60 time, achieved in my 3 runs a best time of 8.56 seconds


got some awesome bits for the car to go with the great items coming this week

will upload when things have uploaded


heres that prediction from that site dan give me

Power at Flywheel (BHP) : 126
Weight without Driver (KG) : 954
Power to Weight Ratio (BHP Per Ton) : 134.20
0 - 60 (Secs) : 7.93
0 - 100 (Secs) : 22.86
60 - 100 (Secs) : 14.93
Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.40
Terminal Speed (MPH) : 84.70
Drag Strip Quarter Mile (Secs) : 16.20
Drag Strip Terminal Speed (MPH) : 86.16


the 0-60 was a bit wrong

8.5s not bad mate.

why thank you


the turismo's have rubber cant say it will fit under the arches though, all 4 are 205 for a start

just a few quickies of yesterday










im shattered after 11 hours straight of moving someone's house so ill get the full pics up tomorrow!

including a very exciting update

first off i took delivery of this rather exciting package, bought the lube seperate






Then i got my new wheels wrapped in 205/45/16 tyres


















council are cutting down our forests all over the place due to an alleged tree disease spreading














back at home, popped it in the garage for a night of improvement




Puss agrees


Camber and arch gap (remember its only 30mm) & new headlamp protectors









To surmise, before i started




other things i bought at Ford fair, thanks to a trader and Tango, cheers man
ill use the matt finish tint on the back three windows, might sell the reflective ones on, all 4 for £10




bought this because of the condition of my K&N, manking! not been cleaned since before i even bought the car i know im a slacker! so instead of £10 for a cleaning kit i got this Green cotton filter for £5
just look at the close Macro shots, really filthy





so i got cracking on the car, changing the 2.0 cams for Kents fast road 262 degree cams, and help from the missus


home made cam locking tool






Lubing the follows and guides, the cam lobes were also done









that concluded last night, finished just shy of 2am
just before i finished for the night, i was refitting the cam cover, as i went to slot a bolt into the hole for it on the cover i dropped it, it literally had too... it fell into a spark plug hole with freakish precision

using a probe magnet thing the bolt was easy to remove, as it didnt fit through the hole thanks tot he piston being at TDC, but its washer did

took me half hour to remove the bastard thing lol, jacked the car up on the passengers side as i could see it to the right of the centre of the piston, i was knocking the car and hitting the head with a rubber mallet to shock the washer to the centre, nope, ended up using a long reach screw driver that i bent the head on to reach while at BDC...

then raised the piston back up thanks to my missus clever thinking i used a screw driver with some blue tack on the end to grab it out, the prove magnet wouldnt fit through the plug hole

think ive learned my lesson there, NEVER leave the plugs out apon reassembly lol, phew though, would have hated to remove the head just to get it, meaning new bolts and gasket!

today was timing and refitting



but disaster stuck, as i was about to start it, i was cranking it with the coil unplugged to check things, and PAS fluid started to piss out of a new hole in the crossover pipe, must have happend when i pent the pipe out of the way to remove the cam cover



this is where im to atm, having a little tea break a sec then ill be back down there to take the pump off which is a right swine of a job, and fit a spare pas pipe i thankfully have

love my spares pile


but i did remove the aux belt just to get it running, took a minute of cranking but she fired up sure enough and run fine , which is a relief, wont know if the timing it bang on untill im driving it
but it should be fine

more later, plenty of mods to come this week

coming along nicely

you will love them cams
they the fast road ones?
mine made an extra 15-18 ish bhp after a remap

doesnt your missus help? she sure seemed "enthusiastic" on sunday or was she someone elses otherhalf?


in other news, got the pump off, didnt bother switching pipes i just fitted the spare pump i had to save hassle, which is back on all the water pipes etc are fastened too, just needs the engine moutns refitting, coolant and power steering fluid back in and the induction back on and its good to go, started it again, runs perfffffect

bring on the CAMS!
