My fiesta turbo

Postby HigginsRST on Mon Nov 14, 2011 1:15 pm

Hi guys, I'm new to the site and have just broken my S1 and took this little beauty in px for some of the bits, really happy with it so far but there are a few little issues that need sorting before it can be used properly. Firstly a bad misfire on boost.

Anyway here are a few pics

What do you recon guys?

Very nice fella. In the best colour as well. Have you got any plans engine wise. The outside looks amazing and i wouldn't change a thing. I think those wheels on a mercury grey car look the nuts. I know every body has them on all colours but mercury grey .woops just had a little sex wee. Keep the pictures coming mate :Q

i was thinking either laguna or vr6 but it looks flatter more like the vr6 not rounded like the luguna

Thanks for the comments guys, not sure what the splitter is from. Running problems all sorted now, various loose hoses and the chip wasn't seated in the ecu properly. She's a little rocket now!

That's great its running sweet again have you taped the chip to the ecu. I used a bit of duck tape as i had the same problem with the suspension being so firm it gradually moves out of place.

oh my you have just brought a tear to my eye. Its my old girl. I sold it nearly 2 years ago as I didnt have the cash to put into it that it needed. The guy i sold it to had owned it 10 years earlier and I originally bought it off a friend.

The guy i sold it to was going to do a resto but obviously never got round to it. Its nice to see its still got the cossie rims on too.

I got a cupra R Leon now as i needed a sensible car but really do miss this. Im really happy its still on the road. I just hope you have the time and money to do what i couldnt and keep it on the road :)
