my runaround mk6.5 z-s tdci

Postby RS rob on Sun Jan 11, 2009 2:49 pm

since 2007 i have'nt used my si :cry:
heres the last pics of her
Image
Image

and has lived here since
Image

mainly because i've been too involved with my s1 xsi 16v
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image


decided its time to concerntrate on the mk3 si again
the only way this will ever happen is if i stop playing with the xsi,

so i've gone for a fiesta zetec s tdci in frozen white for everyday
its a 58plate it had 13miles on the clock
all the options available apart from sat nav and folding mirrors
full leather interior
sunroof
climate control
sony mp3/cd player
steering wheel remote
full bluetooth through the stereo
voice controls
traction control
heated windscreen
heated mirrors (sure i've forgotten somethings, but you get the idea)

she's a 1.6 16v turbo diesel should do around 55-65 mpg
£35 a year tax and obviously has 3 years ford dealers warranty

got no plans for it really, just wanted something comfy, reliable, warranty just incase
also makes sense for me as i work in fords, cheap services etc
really love the ford frozen white though, very bright

some pics i took when i went to view the car

plan is to finish off little bits here and there on the 106,
maybe one more track day and then i'll put her up for sale

i've had a new engine for the si for about two years now
so plan is to get that up and running, been collecting parts for a long time now :lol:

greedy is'nt what my parents say with all my cars on their driveway :P

yeah i know it may sound silly, but the xsi is a great fast car,
but theres always something that needs doing being french
and its suprising how much of your time and money it takes in the end,

so by not using it everyday i wont be repairing anything and will probably put her up for sale in a month or two's time

the top edge of the bumper needs trimming,
if you try and put the bumper on yours it will be obvious where it needs trimming

i like the monte's something different, tempted to buy some st500 rims (black st150 wheels) and keep the monte's as spares for the mk3

si should have some progress as soon as the weather gets better, too cold right now

106, well amazing fast handling cars, never thought i'd say it but great fun.

bet the civic goes well, everyone loves a bit of v-tec

cheers for the comments mate

its called flocking mate,
used in rally cars as it stops any glare from the dashboard

there are DIY kits out there, but its fiddly messy stuff and best left to people who have the know how,
cost me about £100 to have my dash and other fiffly things done

not sure i understand mate? its like nylon fibres, which stick to the dashboard, as you cover it in glue and then negatively charge it,
so the fibres stand on end, its not cloth moulded to shape
