[Dave G fsi]

Welcome back mate, did wonder where you had gone!

Your fez looked good at FITP, had a good look at her

Brake upgrades sound good too mate

[MK3-MATT]

Yeah I agree Jon, I'm hoping to get one next march when I've got my years NCB

And cheers Dave, didn't see you there, I thought I saw your rst but I wasnt sure?

[MK3-MATT]

Few piccies of how she stands i found on my phone, seems ages since i've put some up.

Changed the rocker gasket last month as it seemed a bit gunked up round that area, turned out to be split




Gave the inside of the rocker a good clean and on with the new gasket at the costly sum of £2.49


and now a few pics







Cheers

[jonyb4]

your on the road now aint you?

looking good mate, them cork hcs gaskets are the cheapest thing since they invented 1 pence sweeties


im not sure Red works on an Si kit

[MK3-MATT]

Yeah i've been using it 8 months now, I''ve had 7000 miles of trouble free motoring from her

and as far as SI kit working or not; when you've seen it like that for over a year it does The only reason it you say that is becuase they never did a radiant red SI.

[dontpannic]

My mate had a radiant red 5 door Si rep, used to be on here too:



It works, you just need side skirts

[jonyb4]

nah its weird imo, like seing a Red puma lol

[MK3-MATT]

I guess some don't like change. Theres been plenty red SI reps in the past, on the internet anyway. Never seen one in flesh. Makes me a little different anyway. Most people dont know what the hell it is

[Ratspeed]

nah its weird imo, like seing a Red puma lol

Theres loads of red pumas!!

[MK3-MATT]

I'll ley you work this one out ....

[Ratspeed]

oh dear!What actually happened then?

[MK3-MATT]

My mate, (blue fiesta) was driving behind me looking at someone at the roadside, i braked and by the time he looked round it was game over

[jonyb4]

agh f**k he ruined an actual SI!

damn thou mate, you could probably straighten yours out, but bearing in mind it will be weaker

maybe have a stong piece of steel welded to the rear crossmember to add some impact strength in case it happens again?

[Smo]

agh f**k he ruined an actual SI!

Where?

What a bum, it was coming on so well too!

Is the floor as bent as it looks or is it just the pics?

[SLEEMAN]

by the looks of it, new boot floor maybe new chassis legs if bent, and new rear panel!! alot of work and shed loads of spot welding!!

[MK2 Jamie]

agh f**k he ruined an actual SI!

Its not like its an Rs Turbo Plenty more si's about.

Neither are propper si's - both 1.1 hcs. And I'm not too arsed about it's strenghth should it happen again to be brutally honest, I just want to get it looking how it did before again.


And yeah it's pretty much as bent as it is in pic to be fair mate

Im suprised how well it held up actually because his is actually fcuked and I ended up with slight whiplash. The exhaust seems to have took alot of the brunt too because the midsections folded back about 10 inch

I don't know what to do with it really because we're not going through the insurance and I can't afford the insurance on a different car if i was to change until I get my years NCB.

[jonyb4]

nah no way, its a 1.1 fiesta mae its hardly worth upping your premium, its not even worth losing a no claims like you said or loosing your current policy

block of wood and a sledge hammer, try and put the dent in the floor out and getsome spport for the rear panel, so its not a complete bodge!



good luck with it mate

dont write it of, its repairabe



nd true jamie, did you see the guide to how many fast fords are still on the road in last FF mag?

over 4,000 1.6 Si are registered with tax lol, another few hundred sorn and a good few thousand 1.4's

im landed lol

think it was only about 500~ RST on the road

[fiestasiphil]

at least your both ok thats the main thing, poor fezzas tho those si bumpers are as strong a fook tho!

[jonyb4]

they are yea... mine took a good old knocking in the Way to Ford fair, but you cant even tell
