Black, don't colour code or remove.

[Michael!]

gloss black

[EUFez]

I'm unsure about gloss black. Has any of you guys got a photo of a fiesta with black trim?

[Michael!]

im sure theres a thread on zsoc where the guy has changed them a few times, had various colours, you're best off checking out the threads on there.

it does look good though and its a safe choice unless you wanna go for something different

[jonyb4]

Satin all the way

[Michael!]

they're already a dull grey/black colour, why would you both with satin black on them?



gloss.

[jonyb4]

because they fade over time, satin black will revive the look of them and contrast perfectly with the blue

[EUFez]

Gloss is great

Satin is sh*t

[Michael!]

yes gloss

[EUFez]

Just to confirm I'm right...

Headlight bulbs - H4
Front Fog Bulbs - H1
Number plate bulbs - ?

Suppose I can get the plate bulbs from halfords. There's some confusion with the seller on eBay. Trying to prove him right and get my bloody purchases right and not wrong again!

Just to confirm I'm right...

Headlight bulbs - H4 - Yes
Front Fog Bulbs - H1 - I'm pretty sure. Haven't actually looked
Number plate bulbs - ? - 501 (same as sidelight)

Cheers mate

Next time I'm buying my bulbs from halfords, never buy online again.

[andymac]

TBF I've never had problems buying bulbs online, but then I've known up front precisely the type I was buying - I rarely trust these lookup tables

[EUFez]

The only reason I buy online is because its cheaper. But never mind, these things happen

[jonyb4]

try autobulbsdirect.com and they do have a table to use, if you can trust it

That's the first website I tried. I saw the same set of bulbs on site for £22, on eBay they were £12 so I thought I'd choose eBay

Fogs are probably H1 but could be H3...

[EUFez]

Snow!



Since the puma conversion idea has gone out the window I've been looking for the Phase 2 blacktop engine. Just want to know is it a straight fit? Any other requirements I have to know before buying one? I'm presuming its just a plug and play? Idea is to rebuild it, tart it up, maybe cam it.

[- Danny Boy -]

Are focus engines phase two? If they are then yeah they go straight in.

[hb69]

Whats wrong with the current engine?

[Michael!]

If there's nothing wrong with the current engine don't waste your money on a new 1.6 mate there's next to no difference!

[Rhinopower]

No it's not bolt in, custom mount is required

[Michael!]

No it's not bolt in, custom mount is required

Are you sure? Both se's were exactly the same?

[Rhinopower]

Thought you were talking about the focus engine....

[EUFez]

Nothing wrong with it. I'd just prefer the Phase 2 engine... Gives me a chance to cam
It and tart the engine up then.

[- Danny Boy -]

With regards to the focus engine, they go in no problem because it's just a standard sigma engine - same as what's in the ZS. (This is of course if they are phase two).. My mate killed his engine in his old ZS and used a focus one and it went in no problem.

You can do all that to a ph1. Waste of time changing it if there's nothing wrong with it

ah yup...

unless your thinking its like a phase1/2 zetec e compared to a phase 3 zetec e having slightly more power?

[EUFez]

I thought it did have a bit more power...?

[jonyb4]

not as far as im aware, tbh i dont even know why people differentiate them, only difference i know of is the cam cover is plastic not alloy

the mk6 had 99 bhp too, then the mk7 got more power

[dontpannic]

No difference at all apart from a few bits made out of plastic rather than metal. Cams available for both, same power output. Absolutely pointless replacing it like for like.

As everyone else has said, the only real change is a plastic rocker!

[jonyb4]

looks if you want more power for it, go on Kents website, check out theyre Zetec s cams, phase 2's be great

and get a milltek exhaust system for it, you'd have a nice hike in power


mind tbh id have though going from a 54 pony 1.1 to a 100 horsey Zs be enough to keep you smiling for atleast a few months?!


ive had my 1.8 3 years and im still smiling!

[dontpannic]

Ah hang on James - what's the mileage of the phase 1 you already have?

102k, hence the idea of change.
