mada i think it looks the absolute funlumps mate very nice for a mk5 and the colour is great works well with the wheels
dont worry about what people think about the badge mate as i dont see there point

the car is built as a zetec s replica so if he wanted to replica the zetec s then he would put what they have on it ie. bumpers and the like just because he has put the zetec s badge on it now people think oh no hes tryin to be a zetec s when it isnt??? well it does have the kit and many other bits

i personally love the car mate

[dontpannic]

I can understand the horror if a 1.1 is badged up as an RS Turbo, but badging it as a ZS isn't in the same league. Technically speaking, the engine in it is a Zetec-S engine, albeit a 1.25 one.

Ahh bloody hell Jony, what have you done?

CHeers for the comments guys.

[jonyb4]

[mada01]

New number plates been fitted, no more rusty bolts

purple rim tape added to the wheels and makes a lot of difference

fitted a remote boot release

new clutch getting fitted at the weekend

the arches are going to be the esp ones, hopefully gettting them when i sell my phone

[dontpannic]

Nice mate The car will be totally transformed with a new clutch, believe me! Good news on the rust-less bolts

[jonyb4]

i know the difference a nice untainted reg plate makes, have you used nice colour coded plastic caps?

stops it happening again, maybe even cover any metal screws in Vaseline?

[mada01]

so started day 1 of the engine change yesterday,

here is the make shift garage :whistle:



tent for the tools



then ste arrived so we got started just after 10



looked like this by 11



engine being dropped



lifting car up over engine






lowwwwww :drool:



and engine out



at this stage we stopped for lunch at 12:30 so not bad getting the engine out in 2 hours for 2 first timers!

had to be done...........

ste



and me



we then found out the new engine had ac, so we had to remove that and swap a bits over including inlet manifold to save changing the engine loom



and we left the car at 5 with the engine bolted in, just need to reconnect drive shafts and all the wiring.



roll on today

[Minstral]

1.6 or 1.7?

[trecoll]

Its not a 1.7. And I don't *think* its a 1.6 either, especially if he's changed over the inlet mani, as the 1.2 one would be rather restrictive...

[dontpannic]

I believe I read somewhere that its another 1.25

[Tygress]

Just Had A Browse Through Your Thread, I Love Everything You Have Done To It, Would Be Nice To See This Car In Person Tho, Good Stuff!

[mada01]

Unfourtunatly this car is no more

It developed a electrical fault where the fuse for the speedo and brake lights kelt blowing. I spent ages trying to find out why it kept blowing, then I saw the puma up for sale and bought it at a steal.

The car was broken for parts, most of the parts went to my mates purple mk4, Including all the interior and full front end as his mk4 is now a mk5 with removable front end. So in a way my car is still living but as a 5 door instead haha.

I will get a picture of how it stands at the moment ony drive awaiting to go scrap yard once it is back on all 4 wheels.

This car will be missed as it was my pride and glory but it was time to move onto something faster

[Tweek]

does your mate want a FITP ticket for his 5dr purple mk4?

[jonyb4]

lol your obsessed wayne

tis a shame but we live and learn, least you have a nice puma to play with
