Not too sure what to do with this yet!! I like the idea of a 2.0 zetec with bike carbs but i dont really know the best options to go for!! Any ideas??

[knuckles]

A few pictures of the car would be a good place to start

[Gus!!]

Yeah i know i will but gotta sort a photobucket account first. Then i will take some general pictures!!

[Gus!!]

Here is a couple of pics i have taken of the mk2. i hopethey work, the second 1 should be after i t-cut the bonnet.

Do you know how to link your photos to your post here ?

Copy the img code from photo bucket then paste it to your post.
Then pic will appear here instead of a link.

Your car is missing a front bumper. Looks very clean

[jonyb4]

looks good that, what is it a pop plus?

odd colour, looks like red oxide


get some more pics up, that blue mk3 (calypso??) looks lovely

[Gus!!]

Yeah its a pop plus, i do have the front bumper but it aint attatched so i need to see if i also have the bolts. Since takin these pictures i have done the wing the same as the bonnet, so then it'll be shiny red oxide!! so it looks like thats what i'm doin today, what a way to spend a week off work!! Lol. And yeah its quite tidy but has a bit of rust in the boot floor and battery tray!! the interior is a bit ropey but once i have recaros i wont care!! I am thinking of doin either an xr2 engine as its a straight swap (ish) or a zetec 1.8-2.0 and runnin them off bike carbs??

[Gus!!]

Just seein if this works.

[Gus!!]

And yeah i like the mk3!! Its quite tidy as well, has just started to rust around the front of the arches and a lil bit on the scuttle!! it also needs a n/s wishbone for the mot!! I had been told it was hawiian blue but it could be calypso as i'm not an expert lol. I will put some pics of both fezzers up later but i warn people the mk3 does have a purple furr headlining, this is due to the fact that my sunroof clogged itself and leaked everywhere which ruined the origional lining!! so i went for the maddest thing i could think of!! Lol.

[Gus!!]

Here is a couple of pics, photobucket is being gay and wont let me upload some!!
Got 1 of mine n my mates mk3's together


I found the mk2 bumper, its a bit bent and rusty but i might take both bumpers off, straighten them out and spray them gloss black anyways.

Just tryin to get some other pictures to upload!! They r mainly of the bad bits of the mk2 and some random 1nes of the mk3!!

[Gus!!]

i made that snap off box!! lol. and yer its shinier now but still a bit red oxide-like. Lol. also, does any1 know what 'pop plus' actually means, i mean its not exactly full of luxuries?? lol. i take it it means it comes with a seat instead of a spike or summit?? i like the electric windows in my mk3 tho!!

Mk2 jamie is ur car on coilies?? i got some springs on my mk3 and will probz do the same on the mk2 but i was wondering if there is a cheap place to get coilies??

[jonyb4]

well the popular part is just another way of saying they shat them out like cheap china made toys

the plus part means they had a clock, fag lighter and fancier looking trim compared to a regular popular


and trust me, my popular has feck all, so ive fitted a XR2 dash and steering wheel in, my Si is fully loaded so a base spec car got on my nuts lol

[Gus!!]

I have an ash tray but no fag lighter?? Lol. Yeah my mk3 dont have power steerin or anythin either, i wouldve thought it had bein ghia but there u go!! Just need to scource an engine n stuff really atm. When the mk2 is finished i'll probz. Sellin the mk3!!

The cheapest you'll get coilovers is £450 for a set of gaz's.

This is my current MK2, it's on 50mm springs with 2 coils cut off all round:


This is one of my old MK2s on 50mm springs with a coil cut off the front springs:



This is the same gold ghia on gaz coilovers:

[Gus!!]

Yeah i'll think about coilies!! I cbf with cuttin springs but i'll get some 50mm ones 4 now!! The 1nes on my mk3 r 60mm. I think i'll stick 2 pepperpots for the wheels 4 now cos i kinda like a sleeper idea!!

[jonyb4]

cut spings!

[Gus!!]

:aaah: cut spings!

Not a fan?? Lol. I am hoping to start the work on this soon!!

[Gus!!]

Due to some issues (my dad moaning about space) i think i'm gonna have to sell the mk2 i will be Moting it maybe this week. This does fortunately mean i can continue with the mk3 and get my honda cub 90 resprayed!! lol. Does any1 know if any1 might be interested in the mk2?? I can email more detailed pictures??

[Gus!!]

I have some si bumpers which i'll be fitting tomorrow!! Not sure if they will look better black or colour coded?? Just need to decide what wheels i want now!!

[jonyb4]

satin Si bumpers would be a new thing, think it could work

[Gus!!]

That sounds like a good idea actually!! Might get some cans at the weekend!! gonna put them on tonight to see if i like them black, some penis has riveted the no. Plate on so i gotta drill that out yet!! Lol.

[Michael!]

:aaah: cut spings!

everyones done it at some point

[jonyb4]

LOL rivets? was he scared of them being stolen?

:aaah: cut spings!

everyones done it at some point

nope not me

[MK2 Jamie]

Nothing wrong with cut springs

[EUFez]

Man I miss Jamie's Mk2!

Love your Mk3, always liked that colour, and in a five door.

Jony, let's not get into this again. There's NOTHING wrong with cutting the springs. Until someone has died or got hurt, it's perfectly fine.

[Gus!!]

The si bumpers are on!! The rivets were easy to overcome but i now have 2 holes i don't need in the number plate!! They r shiny black still atm as i havent got time 2 get them sprayed yet!! I will get pictures eventually. Quite a few people have said they like the colour, what colour is it?? Apparently its too light for calypso blue?? Any1 got any ideas what wheels would look good?? I like rs500 wheels or capri laser/rs2000 wheels, but they all seem expensive.

I agree with him again! Nothing wrong with them, not like anyone uses them on track, just wanted a low car!


Get some rs500 wheels or 5 door shark tooths they'll look the balls!

[jonyb4]

cutting springs is not fine lol, seating in the cut is tampered with, the weight load they can handle will be reduced, and they are more likely to snap from being weakened

[Gus!!]

Any1 know any wheels for sale?? I think rs 7 spokes would be nice?? Saw some on a 2i at trax today!! I wouldnt cut my springs i dont really trust it, my mate had them in a cavvy and it was a bit too bouncy!! And shark tooth wheels?? I probz know what they r just havent heard them called that!!

[jonyb4]

they were fitted to the Sierra Sapphire Cosworth
