That picture is epic!, any plans for the car engine wise?

No real plans for the engine as im putting money aside for an RS Turbo will still doing bits to the MK2. I might put some bike carbs on next summer just because its a cheap and fun modification.

+1, Bike carbs FTW! Just gotta buy the kit then get it fitted. RSTurbo eh? Lucky! Damn insurance, my day will come.

[jonyb4]

meh, im a prat i guess, spose the whole mk4 conversion was a bodge, hell would you know



carbs sounds a great idea jamie, should sound even better with them

[EUFez]

Nothing wrong with 1.1

[jonyb4]

not saying there is, expect theyre unbeleiveable slow and offer very few thrills, anything slower than the 1.6 and i feel outmatched by most things out there, i prefere my car to be quicker than that

obviously others have different tastes

[3lward]

Mate im 19, i got plenty of time for fast cars engine conversions and just happy with the cheap motoring my car gives me.
i changed my mind against the ideas of new cars purely down to the fact i want to go see my brother in canada and with me starting a new job i can finally afford to go out again.

Jony is your car all declared and insured as a 1.8 without fronting?

[russ-RST]

im 19 with 3 points (sp30) and 1 year ncb (2 in feb) and its gone from 1300 for 3rd party on me 1.3 to 1800 on fully comp on my rs turbo completly genuine, so its not that bad buddy

My MK2, for a 1.1, isnt slow but its not fast. It will sit on the motorway all day long at 80mph...did 100mph on the gps down a hill past an XR2 on the way to fitp this year I owned an RS1800 for 2 years previous to this. Its not out of taste that I have this MK2 its because at the time of needing a new car I couldn't another RS as much as I wanted one. Like I said before im now saving for an RS Turbo.

Yea gotta love having 4 years driving with a clean license and 3 years no clams plus being 23, means insurance is a decent price.

[EUFez]

HATE YOU!

[Ratspeed]

I know what you mean, it costs me a massive £150 fully comp for me and the missus on the MK1

I hope that's a monthly installment.

Yeah. I want to know too? My insurance is with Churchill, robbing baxtered they are lol

Fully comp with 1ncb, 2 in May. My insurance a year is £1400 for a 1.1, still think it's abit much tbh.

[fezza89]

mines not that bad actually im 21 with 4years ncb a clean licence on a 1.3 third party fire and theft and i pay £870

[EUFez]

It's weird because some of my mates insurance goes wayyyy down rapidly when they get another years NCB, but with me it's going down very slowly. I don't understand. Obviously depends on where you live and what car you have? And to be honest, where I live, it's not the safest of places.

[fezza89]

im the same, dagenham is in the expensive insurance catagory, its all on the area, i got a quote for my car if i lived in devon and it was almost half of what i pay now

[EUFez]

Yeah, shame really. I live in the centre of Windsor, Berkshire. Right next to clubs, nightclubs, bars, pubs, loads a drunks come down my road, had alot of dents and things done to my car. It's parked on a public street aswell, one way. So my loss I guess. Wish I had a garage, but in my area, there's none to be seen.

[fezza89]

i rent a garage now thinking my insurance would drop abit but it aint

thats life i supose

[jonyb4]

ouch james, you need to add your family to the policy, could bring it down a bit

its a mk3.5 too it should be cheaper!

im 20, 2 years ncb (3 in dec) all decleared including the alarm duel airbag package, and its £1,199 a year with quinn

plus i can swap the insuarance over to another car usually free if its less desirable than the policy car free for upto 2 weeks, byt that time i can just renew it again
plus any bhp non enhancing mods are free, such as wheels or suspention


i plan to get an RST after im 23 as it will be alot cheaper then, you syhould be fine jamie

[EUFez]

Yeah that's life... Won't get any easier.

I'm looking around at the end of the year for a cheaper quote. Hopfully I'll find one, and hopfully my isurance goes down rapidly when I hit 21, then it'll be easier. But I've known people that just turn 21, and it doesn't change abit. Robbing insurance.

Mate, mine didn't even drop when i turned 25.......could be something to do with crashing the RS though

ha you think

[Ratspeed]

Only joking, for some reason i got proof of no claims and no crash/claim on record when i changed companies.
Their f**k up is my gain mate

[MK2 Jamie]

Thought it was already a zt? Or were you making that up at Ford Fair?

Supercharged 2.1 zetec When the women asked what had changed since last year I told her I had fitted a bigger pulley to the supercharger so it was running more boost

haha i remember that, think she was a bit supprised, she said " oh looks liek a bad start" haha

[MK2 Jamie]

haha, the belt on the supercharger snapped

[jonyb4]

also landed on the air filter restricting the air flow

That had us in stitches, everyone around us wondered what was going on "Not sure he's going to beat his time...not sure he's even going to manage 60..."

[MK2 Jamie]

When I saw her coming over I kinda panicked and wasn't sure what to say then "supercharged 2.1 zetec" just came out of my mouth and I kinda thought to myself, did I just say that?

[Ratspeed]

I was watching when you pulled up, and when you said that i turned to my mate and said " im 99% sure that that is just a 1.1"

[MK2 Jamie]

[MK2 Jamie]

I went down to Powerflow after work on Thursday to have the XR2 exhaust fitted. Took about half an hour and cost £30 which I didn't think was too bad really. It sounds good, its quite deep and throaty but not overly loud, also it is basically straight through as I had the resonator on the downpipe cut out. It think it looks a lot better then the original peashooter exhaust as this has a larger tailpipe that sticks straight out and sits flush under the fog light. The car is absolutely filthy in the picture because I haven't had the motivation to clean it in the this weather

[EUFez]

Ooooo I do love your car mate. Subtle modifications are the way forward, and it looks sweeeeeettt!
