scottybo Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 She looks great mate! A zetec would be a definite upgrade! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongo Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 really like that,looks smart! why not a 1.8? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modified Secta Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 I already had a 1.6 from a 5door that I stripped for parts and sadly scrapped... It was rotten though and also I didn't want to put anything to powerful in for when I pass my test. One day I'll drop a 2.0 zetec in Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bongo Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 fair enough mate,but you know your cars only as fast as you put your foot down lol....no seriously very nice first car mate, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lee grout Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Nice car mate and welcome to evo. Did you buy it like that or build it? A set of mk5 skirts would finish it off a treat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modified Secta Posted April 27, 2014 Author Share Posted April 27, 2014 I built most of it, I took the gti side skirts off and I have some nicer ones to go on, it already had a mk5 front end conversion, I turned down some rs2 lights because I like the way these line up with the wings, I just need the clear top indicators to finish it off, I've wired them into the bottom like on the rs2's though, I'll put a pic up of how it looked when I bought it soon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
malfis Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 Yeah, drop a 2.0 Zetec lump into it. 1.6 is so weak... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supersport Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 i've got a pair of new genuine ford clear indicators inthe garage some where, i'll dig them out and get some pics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottybo Posted April 27, 2014 Share Posted April 27, 2014 See i think the orange looks better. I put orange indicaters on my e46 The 1.6 isnt weak at all. Actually theyre bloody robust little engines. Just not as fast as their bigger brothers. But even so with a few choice mods the little 1.6 still shifts fairly well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modified Secta Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Tbh the 1.6 is pretty underpowered, it's 90hp standard and the 5door it came out of was pretty slow, however 90hp is damned powerful for a first car nowadays and it's all about weight and the corners, some nice grippy tyres and Coilovers and she'll stick canny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modified Secta Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 This is how she's currently sitting http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31693.jpg And here's how she looked when I first got her... http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31694.jpgHere's another recent pic http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31695.jpg And everyone loves beading http://www.evo-host.co.uk/getimg/31696.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Modified Secta Posted April 28, 2014 Author Share Posted April 28, 2014 Also I've had this car for over a year, (since my 16th birthday) and I've rebuilt all the brakes with new disks, pads, shoes, rear brake cylinders and calipers because one was seized, I've put 60mm lowering springs on, new front shocks, changed the gti interior to mk5 rs2000, fixed numerous electrical faults including the heater fans and finally a few cosmetic changes as you can see... And the radio has been changed as well as the speakers and it temporarily had a sub... I could go on all day lol... I think it defiantly deserves a "Built not bought sticker" lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
