Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

Looks well sweet m8, really nice motors, can really hang the arse out.

More modern wheels might be better, if you don't mind me saying.

oh, and chuck in a ST170 motor

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

I bought one of these at xmas, love it, altho not quite as fast as the series 1 i sold last summer, but nice and reliable all the same,

Get a blufin for it, i have and it really makes a big difference.

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

Just to go over the mods (none of them are my doing, by the way):

Lowered on 16" Mondeo five spokes (was thinking of changing the wheels actually, I've always wanted a Hockenheim style rim).
Front splitter and rear diffuser bonded onto the factory kit.
De-locked and de-handled (slightly nervous about that).
Clear rear clusters (not sure if I like them or not yet).
Colour coded bumpstrips.
Orange indicator strip removed from headlights (I believe the ZSOC guys refer to it as 'de-tangoing' ).
Saxo 16v badges on rear pillar (definitely don't like them but they won't budge).

Obligatory K&N induction kit and magnex backbox.
Under bonnet detailing.
Front and rear strut brace.
Roll cage.
Buckets and harnesses.

Bit of ICE inside...I forget what makes, but compoments and a sub.

Now...what the heck is a Blufin?

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

I quite like this wheel design.

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

i would like one of em. nice motors, yours looks clean mate but god know why anyone would want to change the standard wheels for those ones

[IanLorenc]

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

They look a whole lot better in the flesh...er, metal, than they do in the picture. Still, wouldn't mind some new wheels..charity drive to buy me a new set? Anyone?

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

hope its not a early one as the engines only last 40 or 50 thousand miles

but very nice motors as misses has had 1 .

[IanLorenc]

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

It is an early one (one of the very first in fact) and has already done over 50k. Full service history as well.

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

nooooooooooooooooo keep those wheels on it, they look the nuts if u put 'bling ting' wheels on u might aswell get neons and some fuk off carbon spoiler

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

Mine has been "de-tangoed" makes such a difference, clear sides and front indicators, but NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO dont do clear rears, as they are horrid, i simply sprayed the orange and clear part of my standard lights red, looks the business, and almost factory, cant go over the top on these little motors, bit of colour coding, exhuast, lowered a tad, altho it handles wicked as it is

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

I wouldn't have gone for clear rears but it already had them and to be honest...they're growing on me.

Can anyone provide anymore information on Blufin (other than the rather cryptic info provided on the Superchips site)? Still can't quite work out what it's doing and how you do it.

Re: My New Fiesta Zetec-S

The bluefin plugs in to the diagnostics port, downloads the standard ECU map, then uploads the new superchip one, normally adds some horsepower and improves MPG. Once thats done, you can remove the bluefin and keep it safe, its the same for putting the standard map back on, if you need to.

As it downloads the standard map into memory, you can actually leave the car with a blank ECU, if your leaving the car for a few weeks.
