Its a really decent car

[M1K3Y_B]

Please sort the RS's suspension out

[Dave G fsi]

lol! Don't worry, got 1 week left at uni then over the summer im stripping it all down and rebuilding it with new bits where necessary, getting any rust off and painting/undersealing. Can't wait to get started on it!

Its very soon going to be slammed over a set of 16" mondy alloys sprayed anthracite

Also getting a 3.5" or 4" stainless system for it because the 3" one on at the moment looks too small and is all rusty underneath anyway.

Will be looking mint very soon.

[jonyb4]

sounds very nice gl with it all, hope you dont run into any problems with it mate

[- Danny Boy -]

Looks good mate, the plans you have for the RS seem good too

[Dave G fsi]

Cheers ppl!

[jonyb4]

i want your mondy wheels

[Dave G fsi]

i want your mondy wheels

You would probably kill me if you knew how much i paid for them then!

[jonyb4]

lol aww no

i paid £80 for a set of 14's before, but they're not as nice as 15"s

[MK3-MATT]

Si looks schweeeeeet

rst bonnet really finishes it off

[Dave G fsi]

Cheers buddy

[jonyb4]

was ncie to read this thread again, i love how you admire the sporting models for what they are, and not 'ruin' them with modifications or non OEM parts, except the exhaust and springs:P

any news on if and when the 2.0 is going in?

or would you want to drive the RS instead?

who does the Zetec s belong to then? its looking nice and original too

[Dave G fsi]

Cheers buddy

The 2.0 ltr will probably be next year now as im too pre-occupied with the rs turbo at the mo and its taking up the garage too.

Think I will just enjoy the 1.6 power in the si again this year

The zetec s used to be mine but I sold it to pay for the rs turbo. Was a lovely car and completely standard with 48k on the clock but I wanted something more retro and classic.

The zetec s used to be my winter car with the si being the summer car but now I have the rs, my winter car is the mk3 1.1 5 door that I passed my test in

I have modded that to look like a sleeper though so all is good

[jonyb4]

ooh lol

dunno if i could go back to driving a 1.1, i cant stand how slow they are the 1.3 is ok theres a fair enough bit of grunt when you press your right foot, but the 1.1 is shocking lol

im supprised you still have your first car, i sold mine to a neighbour, its now been stolen and burnt out

can you not use the Si for a winter car?

[Dave G fsi]

Yea, we kept the 1.1 in the family as a "spare" car and it sat in the garage for a couple of years. It was worth more to us than the money we would get from selling it so we just kept it on and im really glad we did now.

Its pretty solw but handles really well now its lowered on bigger wheels and looks really nice too.

I couldnt bring myself to use the si in the winter in all that salt with the amount of hard work I put into completely rebuilding it with new parts. It would upset me way too much seeing it covered in salt! Its tucked away in a garage at the moment and will be making its first appearance at fitp. Really cant wait! It will seem so powerful compared to the 1.1 when I get back into it!

[jonyb4]

yea the Si is a bit valuable to risk it in the snow anyway really

[Dave G fsi]

Well Today is a special day as its exactly four years ago to the day that I bought my si!

Cant believe how quickly its gone, seem like I only just bought her. Have enjoyed every minute and here's to the next 4 years

Took some pics over the weekend when I was out and about (as she went back on the road on friday after hibernating for 8 months!) so thought I would share. Am delighted with the wind deflectors I bought for her too, they just finish the car off nicely imo!

After the car had been backed out the garage (dusty ):







Some arty shots:

[Ratspeed]

Still looking great mate

[jonyb4]

stunning as usual mate

[Dave G fsi]

Cheers guys

[jonyb4]

dave i love how well his car has bee restored, its what mine needs, a good clean slate including a respray and a new drivers wing

do you still use her as a daily?


sorry to revive it lol, i just read most of it again

[Dave G fsi]

Cheers buddy, comments like that (and post revivals ) makes all the hard work and money seem worthwhile

She is indeed still my daily. The RS is well and truely off the road and in bits and the mk1 is tucked away untill easter

The si is the most modern and "sensible" out of the three

[EUFez]

Stunning!

I think people have asked this before but, how many cars do you actually have? I see a ZS there an' all lol

What do you do for a living?!?!

[jonyb4]

i know hes lucky baxtered lol

but in all fairness he knows his stuff, the way he took the sills and front/rear panels of this si and welded new ones in was top notch it takes a good few attempts before thats done right

Sorrrrrrrryyyyyyyyy Dave

[Dave G fsi]

Right then, update time.

Got the oil changed yesterday, love the feeling of putting nice fresh oil in and a new filter

Also, I'm picking up a new drive belt from fords tomorrow as the current one is squeaking like fook now

Finally, here are some pics of her from this morning after a thorough washing underneath, in the arches and everywhere else with a hose to get rid of all the evil salt

Nice and shiney again now

[david evi]

Still looking good there Dave

[jonyb4]

i know what you meana bout oil changes, feels good, knowing the cars getting a good cleaning out of all the thick used oil

gotta get my first pay and use my discount to get some new oil myself and a filter, also a K&N cleaning kit

[rst-steve]

Such a nice car Dave, love it!

[Dave G fsi]

Cheers for the comments guys

Anyway, small udate, was meant to be doing the drive belt today, got the old one off and went to fords to pick up the new one they had ordered me in and it was miles too long

Ordered one from CES which will be in tomorrow morning so will get it fitted then and hopefully that will solve the squeaking
