Re: My ZS! so then... stickerbombing yay/nay?
So I took my fiesta for a cruise today, after my ford friend said if I drove like my nan, I'd be fine and it's safe...
It was fun, scary but fun, the track it's out by loads, intact, both wheels are in alignment at all, they're both pointing inwards a little
Getting on a ramp tomorrow night and being sorted finally, I'll get pictures and post an update of the repairs soon

Yeah, tell me about it. Took mine for a little drive over the weekend, gave it a hard time. It took it well and the power is great! Mine came with coilovers too, so I'll be rolling slammed.
Urrrmmm, it works on some cars, but the ZS unfortunatly, doesn't work, espically in Black. I reckon you should just keep it clean, get rid of dents, dings, give it a good old clean and polish. Keep it clean and classey. Less is more...

Well then it's going! Dunno whether you've read my thread but I fell out of lovewith it about 4 days after I did it

you seem different lol
turboing a sigma engine never goes well, max ive seen is 7-10psi, which is almost not worth the cost/effort

Re: My ZS! Cleaned + Messy Photos
What do you mean different Jon haha?
That's probably why I've never seen one well it's last on my list so I'll see how the money situation is when I've done everything else... If not that, then an engine upgrade... Probably a puma lump or that zvh
Brad... You've never done it? Trust me, stamping on the Cnut wouldn't make a difference the condition it's in ATM...

been reading up on the turbo lark and ive found this

seems that it can be done, but for the price, hardly seems worth doing it to my engine, so if i was going turbo, i think id invest in a 2l...

Re: My ZS! Cleaned + Messy Photos
There used to be a Van Aaken turbo kit for the 1.6 Zetec SE however the engines never lasted long enough to be reliable unfortunately.
I don't think your car is s**t and I don't think the photos are s**t either!
The only bit I don't like is the wing, once thats sprayed up properly, and a general tidy up (looks like the rear arches might be going?) then it'll be cool

Re: My ZS! Cleaned + Messy Photos
Just a little update,
I'm going on holiday tomorrow so it'll be locked away for a week
But over the past few days the rattle from the engine has started to get worse (I posted on zsoc not here) it's been spitting blue/black smoke out and losing power at about 3-4k occasionally
So when I get back it'll probably be off the road for a month or so...
What engine should I look for guys, need help deciding
I'm thinking wither a puma lump, as it's easy as f**k to do (with my ford friend)
Or a 2l and the later in the year rebuild/turbo it
?!?!!!!
Cheers mike x

Re: My ZS! Full Restore Starting 15th may
Having a fudgekin car in the first place was a massive mistake
My boss at work is a whore and has f**cked me up the arse recently, she's given me no work at all even though I told her I needed help
When it's off the road I'll have money and time, and I'm with you Jon... I'll end up giving up and getting rid like I always fudgekin do
I hate everything at the moment, nothing ever goes to plan
