Well where do i start!

TTF Si is now mine! Yay! Toby's (Minstral) thread of the car here: ttf-si-small-update-1-1-10-for-sale-vt169992/

Well, on friday I took a 4 hour trip on the train to Herne Bay, which is where Toby lives to pick up his Si. 3 hours to get home, it was a long ass day to be fair, but soooooo worth it!

Anyway, got to Toby's house, saw him outside and started to have a chat, then he said he would take me for a drive, he got the keys gave them to me and soon as i started it up, i was thinking 'this is lush'. So quiet compared to my little 1.3 HCS engine, its nearly silent lol. I did actually forget it was on when i went out to show my mate when i got home Moving on, we took it out for a little run, and i could already feel it had alot more power than my old car! And Recaro seats = win! They are lush .. Got back to Toby's house, did all the paper work ect, showed me some spare bits he has for the car that i could have, showed me the service history - alot of it. And he very nicely offered me to stay for dinner too, which i would have taken him up on that offer, but i just had some chicken and chips from a local KFC wanna-be place lol.

All in all, the car is just lovely, and Toby is such a great guy too! It hasnt actually properly sunk in yet that its my car lol, its so much better in many ways that it seems like its a dream!

So, first thing on the list was to fit/replace the spring cups, made a bit of a knocking noise when going down bumpy roads ect. Got started on that today, was going to fit the lowering springs from my old car but one side of the suspension decided the top nut wasnt going to undo and just rounded off a treat, and then so did bit where you put the hex key in. So, went to do the other side, no problem at all! lol. Took that side off, used a spring cup from there, then used one of the others Toby gave to me and got started on the Si.. one side is all done and dusted, just need to do the other side - my alen key socket just shattered when i was trying to put force against the spanner to get the top mount nut undone Need an electric impact gun really

That was pretty much it for today, was going to give it a wash, but didnt get round to it. I'll have to do it tomorrow

Obviously its had a fair bit done to it so far as you can see in his thread. Its a genuine car too, not a bodge, just ticked over 73k on the way home, which isnt too bad

Not many pics just yet to be honest, the only ones i have taken have been off my phone. I'll post some better pics up when its had a clean

First pic i took of it, when i was filling up at the petrol station - centre caps are in the car, will be fitting them tomorrow most probably



Went to ford to get a couple of bits..



Fitted wind deflectors from my old car.



Both the cars next to each other, taking the suspension off my old one.



Both cars being worked on.



Old engine compared to new, i was saying to Toby about how the Zetec engine fills the space, and you could pitch a tent up in the HCS engine bay lol.




Orange calipers, more orange than the jack!



Anyway, thats it so far, will post more pics later. Overall, very happy with the car. Toby, thank you so much! And yes, she will be at the shows this year you will see her again! lol

[hb69]

I love Toby too

I have many fond memories of that car, hope to see it again at some shows this year

[jonyb4]

[Minstral]

[mrorange2]

Looks nice mate

[jonyb4]

what you got or after now then toby?

[Smo]

Looks soooo much better now it's got some centre caps on! I never did like those wheels when Toby had it as I'd never seen it with the centre caps on, but it makes such a difference. Think you should have bought Toby's old wheels though and put it back on them

[jonyb4]

i think the RS badge should be removed from them, lets them down i thinks

[Minstral]

:) what you got or after now then toby?

will put a post up soon once it clean

Think you should have bought Toby's old wheels though and put it back on them

them wheels are the nuts. stil have them if u want them

[- Danny Boy -]

If i had the money i would actually have the other wheels lol. It does look better after a wash, was getting dark at that point and i took it on my phone thats why it looks kinda black in that picture lol, ill get some proper pics when the sun comes out

[dontpannic]

Looking good! Looks so much better with the centre caps

[- Danny Boy -]

Not much of an update, just done little things here and there - sound system, my old smoked lights, pair of early mk3 boot struts for laziness and i think thats about it to be honest

[jonyb4]

lol, ive never liked the idea of the mk3 struts, i dont always want my boot to open immedately like if i have something i dont want nicked in the boot

looking good though

[- Danny Boy -]

lol, ive never liked the idea of the mk3 struts, i dont always want my boot to open immedately like if i have something i dont want nicked in the boot

looking good though

It makes life just that little bit more easier lol, if your worried about things getting nicked when you open the boot, i suggest you move to another location

[jonyb4]

haha

[fiend]

Looks loads better with the centre caps on and smoked rear lights.

Any other plans? or just going to enjoy it?

[- Danny Boy -]

Got myself a 4 inch Magnex cat-back system today off Scott (sjoyce666). Got it fitted at my old work for free. Overall, im so happy with it!! Its really quiet when driving down the road until you put your foot down, then it opens up and sounds lovely! Sounds nice on idle from outside the car too - silent on the inside.

Pics, and a vid

[- Danny Boy -]

Just a couple of random pics:

[jonyb4]

fair play mate thta sounds lovely, nice and meaty, makes my 1.3 with a backbox sound like swinging bag of cats at the wall

[Minstral]

told ya it sonds awesome with a magnex on it. always wanted the 4" but one never came up.

[hb69]

I used to have a 4" magnex on my rs1800, best sounding exhaust for a zetec

[- Danny Boy -]

You sure did, it does sound so, so nice!

Agreed lol

[jonyb4]

i want one now lol

[- Danny Boy -]

Evening all, not much of an update, as i didnt get what i wanted done this week due to bad weather, and being with the mrs most of the week lol. So hopefully, if all goes well next week, i will have a nice update coming

Anyway, onwards with this update. Nothing much, but thought I'd share anyway.

I took delivery of this nice little bit of kit the other day, brand new, £38 posted, ebay bargain




While i was there i gave the MAF sensor a clean too as it was very dirty. End result = smiles It pulls alot better now, sounds lovely on full throttle too, and has that added responsiveness too. So all in all, rather happy with it

Just need to give the car and engine bay another good clean up as they are both a little dirty lol.





Oh and a little taster of whats to come soon (pic of it coming off my old car ).....

[Dave G fsi]

Looking good mate!

Is that a new jack or just a very clean one in the engine bay?

[Minstral]

no thats the original jack Dave.the whole engine was mint, get rid of the top layer of dirt and it comes up well danny.

i tyred the k&n but found it made a little difference but more than anything the temp gauge went up. so i had the k&n panel filter and was just as good

[Dave G fsi]

Ah right cool, looks mint!

I'll give it a good clean later on next week if i get some time. I havent had any problems so far with it or the temp at all and its been on there for about a week now.

Busy week next week i think, might be starting new job, so if that happens, will have no time to do anything until the weekend lol.

[jonyb4]

i noticed a massive difference when i fitted a cold air feed to my si, the temps went way down, would stay around the N letter on the gauge

[Minstral]

yeah have to wait until the summer
